So, I been looking at each and every admin in this wiki for some time now, and I found out that while the oldies are handling their jobs respectively, I feel like the vast majority of new admin's kinda lack...experience. Not saying this is a bad thing, but learning the ropes might do the trick of being a good admin.

So, as a added bonus, I pretty much wrote this...not so professional professional post on my wall. Based off my past experiences...AKA no experience (as a actual admin)

1: As a admin, it's best to not nit-pick every single issue that the users have. It's good to remain vigilant, but not vigilant to the point where you have to point out every rule in the RoE. Not everyone in the wiki is capabile of EXACTLY following the RoE. Of course, if they are doing absurd rule-breaking, then of course it's ok to speak out.

2: Don't abuse your position. It might be ok to force a user to redact their post every then and so, but not to the point where you are literally dragging him along as a slave. Of course, you can do that in chat (In chat, anything goes), but outside chat, you really don't want to be a overwatcher. Of course, when a particular user is being a consecrating A-Hole, then you can get busy bossing him around.

3: Don't look like a easy target. Portray yourself as a mad-king of sorts, so that no one can make fun if you, but also remember to not overdo it. Case in point, make yourself strict enough to give god-moderns and such a hard time to persuade you, but don't be so strict that your reputation bleeds with the other regular members.

4: When someone god-mods, do what's appropriate. As in appropriate, I mean that you reply the particular post, explain why it's god-modding, and make it non-canon if the person refuses to edit it. Do not delete the post unless there is massive blobs of flaming and much more blobs of godmodding down on the replys. There has been PLENTY of past problems with regular users typing up a massive post, a admin sees only one god-modding action, and remove pretty much 10 minutes of work when the user could have just edited the post in 30 seconds.

5: Flaming. Just dish out whatever punishment is appropriate and such, and if nessecarily, give out a ban sentence. What you don't want to do is make yourself a D-bag and join in on the flaming. You might think you are joining the "cool" wagon, but you are not. What you are doing in this case is joining the cool wagon to massive problems and you will get up punished, regardless of your rank (unless of course, you are the owner of Wikia).

That's all I can think of on the top of my head, part 2 coming soon.
