	::You know I wasn't suggesting 'commending' people for vandalism. All I'm saying is that if someone does something bad that isnt obvious deliberate malicious vandalism (eg random swearing/insults in an article), such as blanking a page, remove some markup (it looks silly/useless to them!); then you can't instantly jump to their talk page, tell them off, give them a warning, or block them or whatever. You have to assume good faith - unless you have reason to believe it was malicious, then it is possible that it's just a disoriented newbie, so you say something like "do you realise you removed a para from this page? just be more careful in future". or if they make a big change (like blanking a page and pasting the content in somewhere else (effectively moving the page) you ask them to discuss big changes like that before doing them. If we had a moderator that jumped down people's throats at everything, they wouldn't be very popular and they'd scare a lot of people off; if not upset them. I understand if you're a forum moderator or something (as am I), it can be very easy just to hit the delete button, lock a topic, and warn/suspend/ban a user, with no consequences.

Whilst the administrator role does deal with vandals and suspensions a lot, the primary role of EVERYONE on this wiki (myself included) is to the content, and helping more users write that content. I'm not suggesting you wont/cant do that, but it really needs to be your focus. I am still happy for you to be a moderator, but make sure you tone down on the banhammer, ok?
