User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Tips for being a great admin/@comment-166269-20121025194745/@comment-20644-20121025230113

Well said. I agree that sometimes the status of admins can lead people to just defer to an admin’s opinion. There was a time on Star Wars Fanon, many years ago, when people just voted the way I voted. That was noticed by a number of other users, many of whom would sometimes disagree with me, and I didn’t particularly care to just have people agree with me solely because I was an admin. I want people to agree with me if I’m right and disagree with me if I'm wrong, not agree with me because of any perceived ideas of status!
