The newest mod here I think and it does show, he has a tendency to be over zealous, and well needs to think things through a bit more.
I do feel that he has contributed to the issues over reputation, and he has to remember as a moderator, others will follow his lead in how he behaves in the forums.
Apart from that, in time he has the potential to be an excellent mod, and a real asset to the forum, keep it up.
