*reads between the lines*
So basically, admins are allowed to insult/berate/degrade the users? That's not very cool.
Going to another admin to solve the problems caused by the admin in question is pretty silly, I think. I think it'd be more appropriate if the admin in question would just be more civil and just in the first place, and not act like such a freakin' heavy. Honestly, it's not even necessary. However, since even the admins are human, they get upset from time to time too, and aren't going to ever be 100% unbiased, fair, and just. So, being able to involve another admin in these cases is at least a step in the right direction towards a better set of policies. WC, I sincerely hope you never turn into a tyrant, because under these policies, you could easily terminate a whole bunch of users' loyalties should your mind happen to slip and you do something catastrophic. Realize that with the way things run here now, it is very easy to upset the fragile balance, and with the way things are right now, the balance is already off and it's going to take some work to restore it. And restoring it isn't going to be as simple as just going around shutting people up, locking their threads after getting the last word stuffed in their face, or banning people who disagree with the admins. I'm glad you've opened these rules up to the opinions of the public, and hopefully you'll take the user input seriously because like I always say...the users are your forum. And that is just that. Period.

I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.
