*Well, the shoe fits both sides, Mtur. I would submit that anyone using personal insults to other users, Sysop or not, they should be blocked. Anyone defying instruction from a Sysop or Bureaucrat should likewise expect disciplinary action. All sites have cops. Things have a way of working out. Some Sysop's have blocked users, and other Sysop's have restored them, some more than once, lol. --~ [[User:TK|Sysop-TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 00:44, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

At Wikipedia, during my years as an admin, I usually did not identify myself as having sysop rights when simply discussing articles and such. I only "brandished the badge" when giving a warning.
A related example, I am '''still''' on Wikipedia's mediation committee, and occasionally I will say ''as a member of the mediation committee I recommend (blah, blah, blah)'' because contributors are more inclined to listen to me that way.
However, there's an online custom that you don't "op" yourself on IRC unless you are currently in the process of warning or blocking, etc. Or unless the channel is under frequent attack. If I sign as Sysop Eddie all the time, I wonder if I might alienate some of the "kids" here.
Moreover, I often find that making mild suggestions works better with some people: "a word to the wise is sufficient". Not that I'm telling other sysops to do it my way. We need some men around here who take their tough pills daily! :-) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 08:17, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
