Probably tighten down the rules/enforcement for R&P. When it comes to religion and politics, people can get very inventive in how they insult people without breaking the rules. Not saying I'm innocent of this.

I would ban everyone and everything because why not. Not like there are any great users left.
You got that right, remember me? I used to be on here a lot back in the day, until I started getting into trouble for every little stupid thing. Then the site became a dull land of generic pleasant opinions full of lollipops and rainbows.

Having been a super mod elsewhere for 6 years, it'd be a huge pain in the ass. Mods are essentially the adults in a kindergarten, and the ones that has to clean up all the shit the kids keep smearing on the wall.

You do not want to be a mod. Trust me on this.
Pretty much my experience as well. I've also found it interesting from my time on another forum (one that I was not a mod of) to guess which moderators had been asked to moderate and which moderators had volunteered to do so. I think I was ~90% accurate in guessing which was which because the latter group where douche bags and pretty crap at the task. In general no matter how trivial an amount it may be it's generally not a good idea to give authority to those who actively seek such authority over others out.

I would do absolutely nothing. I would just keep posting my not notable posts around this site.

Quit. Too busy with other things right now.

But if I did stay, I would probably be a generally lenient person. Basically enforcing the rules, but not going ban/suspension happy.

I would exact petty revenge on Vault101 and Daystar for being better known than me.
I've been on here almost as long as them why can't I be famous... well at least well known by the forum community.

EDIT:
After that, maybe make a sticky thread title "That's just you're opinion". Inside would be directions on playing live-and-let-live with everyone else.

Cut out the middle man (give warnings) regarding behaviour that's against the rules.

Review the list of flagged posts.

Continue with my life.

Panic and permaban myself on accident.

That, or suspend absolutely everyone for only a couple of days to confuse them and amuse myself. And then get permabanned.

Either way would be a hilarious abuse of power.

I certainly have never seen one post. Are they supposed to, like, stick out? Be visible? I can't tell, because I don't think I've ever seen one.
Some mods are quieter than others when it comes to forum posting but come on! I've made 23 posts in only the last 2 days, and have an active thread going at the moment.

I damn well can't name one.
Now I am sad panda.

I don't think that's quite how it works, mods dont absorb the powers of the people they ban....or do they? Maybe that's where they go, they eventually absorb so many users that they evolve to a higher state of consciousness or union with the forum software.

Eviscerate almost everyone in the R&P section.
But, but, you do know that entire subforum is a subtle troll trap right? They look at the forum list and see R+P and head straight there rather than venturing into the other subforums. Some slip the net but the majority are fooled.

I'd ban this user [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view], God I hate that guy so much. Other than that... just laugh manically at my newfound power.
Come on, guys, nobody's falling for that anymore. Besides, I knew it was a joke the first time I saw it simply because I'm too sexy to be hated.
Pah, it's not like this community is static, there'll always be new members to fiendishly trick!
