I think I'm very formal, and that gives me the impression that I'm strict. In most cases, I'm not in any way strict, especially when compared to other staff members. I'm very lax, very understanding, and I try my best to make sure that I'm approachable and relatable when dealing with issues.
When I deal with issues like spamming (unless it's excessive) and bypassing the censor (unless it's disrespecting someone), I tend to delete the problem most of the time and leave. I rarely infract people these days. In the past, when I was first made a mod, I would look for a reason to do something mod-like, mainly because I was modding an inactive forum and wanted something to do. Over time, I started doing that less and less. These days, if you get an infraction for me, it's justified. In fact, to put that in perspective, the only times I tend to infract people is if they're being disrespectful or they're trolling someone. Out of all the infractions, those are the only ones I care about.
I also do my best to be an outlet of sorts. If someone sends me something that needs attention, I'll give it attention. If I can't do anything, I'll forward it to the proper people. If someone reports misconduct to me, I'll look into it and discuss it with the appropriate people.
