> Same with Sam and RinkWorks (and all other sub-sites of it). What he says goes. If he wants to kick somebody, he probably has a good reason. And he appointed the current ops. He obviously trusts them to use their "powers" when necessary, and so far as I've seen, they only use it when someone's out of line.


And I've seen ops quiet everyone in the room just so they can say something without being interrupted, kick people just for fun, and other similar things. I know a lot of this is not mean-spirited but instead an attempt at joking around with their friends. But it's sad when an op does this to people who don't know them and who are unlikely, for that or any other reason, to find the humor in the situation. And it's still an abuse of the powers Sam has given the ops to use responsibly when necessary.
