Hey, guys. I've decided to make this thread to come the attention of minimodding. Now, earlier, I was speaking to another user on the chat, and they were talking to me about another user who is constantly minimodding on this wiki. Minimodding is when an unauthorized user (meaning somebody who has no admin, mod, or bureaucrat rights) tries to make rules or basically portrays the position of a wiki staff member by bossing others around and ordering them to do as they say. I will show you an example of minimodding, and example of not minimodding.

Let's just say linking chats was against the rules.

Minimodding
 Special:Chat

 No linking chats. Thank you.

 Hey, you can't tell me what to do. You're not a chat mod.

 That doesn't mean I can't tell you not to link chats.

 But you don't enforce the rules though. The chat mods or admins do.

 It doesn't matter. Stop linking chats.

Not minimodding
 Special:Chat

 I don't think we're allowed to link chats.

 Really? Who told you?

 *tells an admin that wiki contributor is linking chats*

 Wiki contributor, please do not link chats, thank you. It's against the rules.

 Oh! Okay thank you!

Well, I hope for those of you who didn't understand what minimodding was finally understand. Now, if any of you know the users I'm talking about, please do not mention them, and if you don't know, please do not ask who they are or guess them either. It's rude, and I want to avoid any confusion and unnecessary arguments, which is another reason why I also used a random example. I'm simply asking for your opinions on this, and demonstrating the effects of minimodding. So what do you think? Should minimodding be a public offense?
