Moderators and Rep

Perhaps they are more responsible, but it would just be more fair if they were treated like every other member.

I think it would be great if they had the same rep influence as regular member, sure. But, I'm able to realize that they're at a higher rank than a regular member. They've earned their influence, even if you or I don't see it that way. It's an added bonus, and rarely are those ever fair for the person that doesn't get them (otherwise it wouldn't be a bonus).

Also, I'm not kissing anybody's ass. I know what it's like to be in Darlene's position, so I'm empathetic.I've been a Darlene on the Valikorlia forums (luckily, there's more than one on those forums, though ). A lot of the things that get thrown her way are unnecessary.
