Allow me to chime into this topic. I think things would be a lot better if people were to remember these guidelines. (Not sure I covered everything, but these are the things I've noticed.)
1) You don't need to earn your place in this community.
No really, you don't. If you are a nice guy I will respect you, you don't need to earn that somehow by making a 'contribution'. Of course contributions will help people to recognize you, but I know that most people here have respect for new users.
2) Police officers are disrespected.
Unless they have a badge. Acting like a police officer only makes you look silly. That includes everyone trying to correct trolls somehow.
This does not mean you can't disagree with staff. It also does not mean you can't voice your disagreement, but it does mean that you shouldn't be trying to take over policing tasks. (On the Dinknetwork every spam message seems to cause three more spam messages explaining why said message is spam.)
3) Forum post are not a useful forms contributing.
Yes, having something interesting to say in a discussion is a useful contribution, but a post isn't necessarily anything good. I don't care for your post count. It's quality that matters, not quantity.
4) Insults only makes the insulter look stupid.
You don't need to defend yourself all the time, usually not responding to an attack makes only the attacker look stupid. Lowering your level to get into a flame war makes you look silly as well.
