Well, to a degree the users are correct. I tend to use jokes a lot actually, because that's frankly the person I am. However, those same users that may have said that know for a certainty that I do not tolerate Bullshit. You should be included within this. Remember the blog in which I directly, or tried to, challenge you? That may have actually been our first encounter. Nevertheless, I tend not to tolerate injustice, or bullshit in any manner. I tend to be lax because, simply put, I rarely ever need not to be. When I have an issue, I don't stand in front of everyone and call someone out because that's uncalled for. I take it to the private message and I leave it there. Previous admins, Kai and Ben, both can vouch that when I feel strongly about something, I do take a stand. Chat debates have been a result of that. Even as a chat moderator, I fulfilled my role explicitly, even though I only banned someone once or twice.

Nevertheless, I'll be honest and refute your statement Sei. You do not have to be a jackass to fufill this role. In fact, I say by being the opposite of a jackass is how you do so. Now, this doesn't mean to overly play around and do nothing. No, but your duty is to help the users and that's what I plan on doing. Yes, when someone does breach the policies, you do have to respond with a punishment/warning depending on the circumstances, but you don't have to be the jackass while doing it. Standing your ground is a different thing than being a jackass.

Now, of course I'll use some of my humor in certain situations, because that's my defining role. I'm a humorous guy. People laugh at me, sometimes they don't, they laugh with me, etc. I'll say that's my greatest strength; being able to resolve issues using some humor overlapped with seriousness. So, that's the answer I hope you were looking for.
