>If you don't create an official circlejerk, at some point one of your jannies will make one without telling you and start trying to turn the other jannies against you, which they'll succeed at because if they weren't vulnerable to that kind of manipulation they wouldn't want to be jannies.
The difference is, if you're at the helm then it becomes your god-given duty to shitcan all of them because they're out of line. And then that's what happens, they get shitcanned and bitch about it.
>If you try to make your rules "less vague" you just end up encouraging pilpul to utterly assrape the spirit of the rules while frustrating anyone bound by the letter of the rules; this applies to both jannies and outside actors trying to gayop. I actually autistically tried to plot out a set of rules that would prevent jannies from being jannies, and I gave up because the same thing will happen every time: /cattle/ or a similar boogeyman will find a loophole, and use it to shit up the board.
This is silly. You make less vague rules for the benefit of the good faith posters, not bad faith posters. Once /cattle/ or whoever else starts to flood the board with their "epic dabbing on rules", freely get rid of them under "no spam" clause in the global rules. Or simply join the fun!
>If you delete his nigger dick spam he will call you a rulecuck and loudly whine to anyone above you that you're literally worse than double Hitler, then spam nigger dicks even harder in "protest." When he succeeds in getting your ass booted he will then use his fabulous circlejerk powers to take your place.
Spam is banned under global rules, which is already clearly defined. The "he's going to boot your ass through spam" is simply a measure of incompetence through which (You) view site or board owners. Stop that :^(
>I've becomed convinced the only form of community moderation that can "work" is not benevolent dictatorship but enlightened despotism. Under enlightened despotism there is one rule, the only rule that ever applies: things I don't like go away. If you want people to put up with you, you give them examples of things you don't like so they can avoid your terrible wrath, but you don't have to because you are The Boss and everyone else can eat shit.
Temper your temper, j-word apologissimo. There is no NEED to delete anything more than what's required for the site to stay up - and that is what already constitutes Global Rules. Are users mad that someone posted a wojack or sneed or some other garbage? They can shit on them however they want, with or without wielding proxies for massive damage. Is there a normalfag invasion? Post gore, goatse and lemonparty. It's like there's all this FUD, here's that and this and we're gonna lose our hapy place but no one wants to figure out how to FIGHT THE POWER and shit up threads when it's not only possible but also quite obvious.

>Give everyone a fucking gun.
That solves nothing as a single asshurt nigger can delete the board completely if he wants to. Now jannies don't even have to weasel their way into power to delete things they don't like. Sasuga ancap-senpai.
