: Should it matter who can block a person and not when speaking to a person?  Or is this a matter of intimidation "I am saying this and if you argue with me you will be blocked"?  Each person is ultimately due the same amount of respect as any other. If something is getting out of hand, then isn't a warning on the user page ''first'' more appropriate than the suggestion that arguing with a sysop is enough? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 19:16, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, we do require in most areas of society that anyone connected to the government, Census takers, animal control officers, or policemen, readily identify themselves.  It never struck me to look at it as you just did, Mtur.  What I do see are lots of questions about who, exactly, beside Andy has a "say".  You advising another user that apparent bias has been inserted into their edit is all and good, however some might just feel like ignoring you.  A Bureaucrat or Sysop, saying the same thing, they would not be so free to ignore, because their are indeed actions we can take.  That is they way of the real world, not some online fantasy one, where all treat each other as "equals" and abide by majority rule.  It matters who can block a person only when that person is doing something that impacts the site negatively. Most of the Websites, chats and boards that I have been on, ALWAYS identify those with authority over others, with an automatic title moniker on their posts.  This is the fist major site I have encountered where that isn't being done, and I among others, think it is very unfair to the users.  --~ [[User:TK|Sysop-TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 20:02, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
