ATTENTION! This is not a dig at any member of the panda community staff, this is merely expressing my opinion on the situation at hand - I am not intending to provoke anyone.
I love how it's suddenly gone away from the threads actual purpose; to debate whether or not "admin disrespect" should exist or not as a rule in panda community.
There is no such thing as "admin disrespect"
Being an administrator is a role, a role is not a life-form, but a job you do.
Therefore, you cannot disrespect the role as a role cannot act, or portray anything by itself, as it requires somebody to carry out the work the role describes.
This immediately disproves the concept of "admin disrespect" however also brings in the necessity for an overall view of disrespect towards the other
people, whether they are a staff member or not, as disrespect is not multiplied towards a person whether they have a shiny prefix on their name or not, calling a person who is a staff member a bad player, and calling a person who plays on the server a bad player will have the same effect on the person's feelings, therefore meaning more severe punishments for disrespecting people who are administrators are unnecessary, and are merely existent for the player with administration powers to reinforce their position in the hierarchy amongst the other people in the server, in the sense of
"don't mess with me, or you'll have it coming to you" which is obviously not needed, as if panda is the community with the best servers, the playerbase of panda community will know that disrespect is wrong, and that they shouldn't disrespect anyone, and that if they do disrespect a person whether they are sporting the badge or not, this exemplar member of the panda community will know that the disrespect they just committed is breaking the rules, and there will be a consequence upon this member of panda community.
A note respecting evo's post. Say you were told your moderator skills were shit, that is a comment about your role as a moderator, but is all in all directed to you.
You. That is disrespect to a person playing on panda community. That is breaking the rule of disrespect and no other rules
The scenario in the paragraph written above, in most peoples minds in the thread would suffice as enough to be deemed "admin disrespect" yet in reality, if the moderator/admin/staff member-person could see past the blazing flames of their power, then maybe they would understand that it is only directed at them, not at EVERYBODY IN THE SERVER BECAUSE THE STAFF PEOPLE ENFORCE THE RULES AND BY DISRESPECTING A STAFF MEMBER YOU DISRESPECT THE RULES, SO YOU ALSO INSULT THE COMMUNITY WHO ABIDES BY THE RULES, WHICH CONSTITUTES AS "ADMIN DISRESPECT. In reality all adding more protocols to punish players is doing is elevating the staff members god complex, which is unnecessary as it will lead to a point where people are scared of the admins, as one slight move could end that player's time on the server.
To conclude, I vouch for the rules of "admin disrespect" to be removed, and to be replaced with an overall rule of general disrespect because as mentioned above, "admin disrespect" doesn't exist, and although inu did use strong language in his post, the general motive of his post is shipping what I am also vouching for.
