A saying to describe a member trying to get a rise out of a staff member. This is a common saying for either Discord Admins or admins on any other platform.
Some dude in a discord server I am in posted a meme in general chat and was banned because he was testing the authority of the admins.

Get the Testing The Authority mug.When an audience either applies 'Death of the Author' or goes against the personal desires of said author. Often while this person, group or company is still alive.
This can include 'new cannon' being ignored, 'fan cannon', copying a game they want to remove, or adding mods more entertaining than dlcs, etc.

"Hey where can I get that horror game P.T?"
"Oh, they pulled that off the shelves for some reason. Pretty stupid if you ask me, its a great game"
"Really?"
"Yeah, luckily a bunch of people just copied the data and now spread it for free, real Coup of The Author."

Get the Coup Of The Author mug.The idea that the Bible has multiple authors is not something I learned from Jordan Peterson but, rather, Morgue.
Hym “The funniest part about this is watching you turn into a self-serving, self-important narcissist. It’s hilarious. You’ll take the undue credit and claim to be what this is based on but it is based everything I have ever encountered. You are one of many and (In my opinion) the most arrogant and contemptible. You are you and I am Hym. You couldn’t do what I did if you tried and the funniest part is that I was just winging it. So, there are no ‘authors’. I wrote down ideas that I had internalized in addition to ideas of my own. You’re conflating the two. In every instance where the ideas of others are replaced with mine, mine come out on top. By every metric. Whether it’s ratings, revenue, or the standard for creative achievement (subsequent texts being based on the source). This is what competence looks like. Behold. Is I blinding? Can you see? Or must you shield your eye from the radiant light that is the very essence of my being?.”

Get the Authors mug.Written with a hyphen, the phrase author-cast refers to the author's equivalent of a fancast. It is the practice of casting celebrities as characters in your book. Originated in the fanfic-writing community and is very prevalent on Wattpad. However, there is still an issue with representation in author-casts.
"Hey, I just finished my author-cast, want to see?"
"Oh, cool! You have Idris Elba casted as the dad!"
"Yeah, he looks just like how I imagined him!"

Get the Who's the author mug.At what age does someone get the authority to shut shit down? If they can shut something down at 40 something, they could do the same thing at 2, and if they couldn't do it at 2, they don't have the authority to do.it at 40 something.
Authority or status is kind of like a title on a piece of paper or a plate of metal. It's about as meaningless as life itself.
