There has been some confusion about the rule of mini modding.
This is what the rule of mini modding says. My problem is that I have seen many builders and recruits try to be helpful, such as letting somebody know they have to be a recruit before applying for builder, being threatened with a ban if they continue this.
Is that really what this rule is about?
I understand that if somebody wrote something along the lines above it could have a negative influence, but being helpful just makes an op's task easier. It's one less message we have to type "You have to be recruit before builder," (That was just an example).
Can we make the rules clearer, either by writing that they cannot give advice, or they can?
Thanks

Do Not Mini-Moderate. Mini modding is when you see a thread, or a persons post, that you do not like, and say "You can't do that, stop it now, or a mod will get you," or "This post belongs to the -soandso- thread." Do not say things like "lock it" or "this already exists" either. Moderators are perfectly capable of their job, and do not need any of the forum member's help. If you see a problem, just ignore it, and a Moderator will soon be there to fix it.
