== How to keep your GM status ==
* Never abuse your powers. And don't forget that your use of your GM powers is logged
* Talk with other admins and share your thoughts
* Be active
* Check [[Stendhal:Administration]] for update to GM commands 
* If in game, /gmhelp reminds you of commands
* When you punish someone, have evidence and be fair
* If possible, warn a player before you punish him, what will happen to him. Then he has the chance to stop.
* Don't give weapons, armor, potions, money or any other items to players with no fair reason. Tell them to play the game; you may give some advice but don't spoil the fun by giving away all the secrets. They must find stuff out themselves
* Don't do favors to specific players or treat other ones badly (unless necessary as part of your GM duties)
* When you think you must do something serious, like a permanent ban on an account/player, contact the other GMs and discuss it
* Respect the others GMs (e.g. try not to interfere if they are already dealing with a support issues, unless they asked you for help themself) and expect the same respect from them. Demand respect from players
* Try to ignore annoying players as much as possible, Answering them just encourages them. Do punish abuse of the /support channel if it is repeated and you've already warned the player in question that they will be punished if they do it again.
* Notice and praise the players who help others and who play nicely. It will make you feel better about all the annoying ones, and they will like to be appreciated.
* Organize monster raids or other events or games, remember to announce the majority of these in advance using the website.
* Regularly check the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] to this wiki so that you can delete any spam that is created or fix changes made by others which have wrong information
* Update the Stendhal FAQ yourself if you think it is missing useful questions, as well as updating admin pages if any useful commands are missing.
* Solve the basic [[Database Query Exercise]] and the RPG specific [[Advanced Database Query Exercise]].
