No, that's god-modelling. God-Modding is more of showing extreme control and acting like you can do anything. Right? That would include randomly deleting comments, being overly forceful in your punishments for breaking the rules, taking control of other's characters, etc. Am I right?
No, the one Asa said was definitely god-modelling. That is pretty much creating your character to be like a god. Completely perfect and invincible.
uh..... God-modelling.... Then there's also power-playing, which is the invincible part of god-modelling. Oh, and another thing not to do is have no rules. If you don't have rules you have no base for anything. If someone in the group starts talking back, swearing at people, and in other ways being rude and disrupting things... you have no true reason to kick them out. You didn't make a rule against it, so you can't reprimand them. I find if you have rules in place, but are loose about them(for example: no swearing. Everyone has different views on it. I'm not going to attack/warn someone for using a minor swearword because you don't know if they consider that a swearword. However if they use them a lot, I'd ask them to be considerate and remember others do consider them to be swearwords. But for other more serious ones I'd just ask them to * them out.) then you gain the respect of the group members and they're more willing to listen. If you are overly strict, people won't like it and won't want to stay in the group. Anyway, that's just something I've observed.
Or, if they powerplay. Like I was in a Hunger Games group where one charrie kept killing these big ol' powerful dragons with 2 knives.
I heard about that.... :/ Briaq kept asking me how to deal with that situation in her arena....
Yep. I was watching it. It was that person Matthewesbald.
that suckes....maybe there should be some advice on stopping that
Yeah, that's who it was. I think she fixed the problem, but I don't remember how.... Bobbie, do you want to make a topic for how to enforce rules without deleting members? :) We can discuss stuff like that there.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'll do it ^.^

Dearie, there is now term God-modelling, unless you are a model, in which case that's modelling as a God/Goddess. Power-playing is God-modding. What you were thinking of God-Modding is simply being a jerk.
I thought there was Power-playing and God-modelling(meaning you're modelling your character after that of a God and therefor making them invincible, perfect in appearance, overly powerful, etc)? Then God-modding was acting overly powerful and doing whatever you wanted to in everything(inside and outside of roleplaying) because you have all the power of a moderator? That's how I always thought it was, and the only ways I've heard them explained. Until today, that is.
Don't delete a group without telling the members, or just leave. Someone can take over the group.
