This is how I "forum cop". Let's say that Coke(littlerat) is a new member, and this is in the Underground.

Hey, what do you guys think of bringing back the Halo 1 Pistol in Halo 3?
Oh, and by the way, my Flash forums suck ass.
Well, seeing that dual wielding is an integral part of Halo now, the Pistol would be very unbalanced. Bungie wants you to use many different weapons, not one that overpowers all of the others. The Magnum works fine.
Oh, and just a heads-up, this topic belongs in the Halo 3 forum. Be sure to pay attention to the forum you're posting in, or your threads will get locked.
And yes, your forums DO suck ass.
Errrrrm... this is what bothers me, really. Someone having a pre-planned structure to do a job they appointed themself.
You don't need "approval", you don't need to classify yourself as a "forum cop". Why even post that? To see if it's "ok" so people can say "I have no problem with that method of 'copping'"? Just be a member like everyone else and post how you want (if that includes so-called 'forum-copping' then I don't care either way). No use in asking if it's fine to post this way or that way... just do it and let people decide whether they like you or hate you. Let nature run its course.
'Forum cop', 'wannabe-moderator' and other similar forum slang are all synonymous under a derogatory term. You shouldn't say "It's ok to be a forum cop" in response to people's insults; you should be saying, "I'm not a 'forum cop' (a word designed as an insult), I'm a member and I'm just trying to help".
Everyone here is simply a member (even moderators), so there should not be a caste system of "Trolls", "Forum Cops", "Septagonians" and such. People who think of themselves as 'Forum Cops' should never forget that they are just members. I'm not saying this as an elitism issue, but as an issue of how people label themselves. People aren't black or white, they are grey. Or at least they would be in an ideal world.
Now... I 'dunno how grey = ideal world. I think I went off on a tangent there. But hopefully I got my complicated point across.
