So what is the background behind the rule of misleading somebody on into thinking you're a moderator? Just curious what is the seriousness behind that rule? If anything you could help the server more by implementing guidance. Impersonating staff, you clearly can't do anything because you're not staff so why is it a big deal? And if it is such a huge deal why is joking about it made into an even bigger ordeal?

This is my viewpoint on the whole ordeal. Impersonating staff is against the rules. It is against the rules because if a player said "I am a mod" then went and did something horrible, like harassing someone, then it would in turn make the staff look bad. I've seen, and banned, people who have claimed to be staff, then threatened to ban someone because the person killed them.

We do have guidelines/guidance. It's called the rules, most of them are common sense though.

Because if people think you're a mod, but then you don't act like it, it sets a bad example for what the staff really are.

It's not that big of an ordeal, you've only made it into a big deal by the amount of threads and other things you've posted.

Well it's funny, because you do however agree with me, but it's tip toed around the one simple fact that it will make YOU look bad IF someone does something bad, which in most cases (like mine) nothing would have happened and nothing did. Thank you for looking at my previous posts I really do appreciate that, it's not an ordeal for me however. I'm currently trying to get to the bottom of this and figuring out a solution to a problem. ;)
