"By lampshading the fact that you were gaining moderator power, you made it look like a power grab, even if it wasn't meant to be."

I'm sorry if I created that impression; I just wanted to convince people that this will not turn into a low-quality unmoderated free-for-all, like what most of Reddit is now. I certainly don't intend to randomly abuse power, just to ban spam and non-intellectual stuff like lolcats.
