Man, I was power tripping last night, started with a hit of acid and did some lines to keep it going.

Power Tripping

The abuse of administrative or moderation authority to dominate, punish, or humiliate others. Power tripping often involves selectively enforcing rules, banning users for minor or invented infractions, and demanding deference from community members. It is driven by the intoxicating effect of authority without accountability. Power tripping is a major driver of clique mentality: mods often build cliques around themselves, using bans to eliminate critics and reward loyalists. When a server or subreddit feels like a dictatorship, power tripping is likely the cause.

Example: “The mod banned anyone who disagreed with his favorite streamer, then posted in the staff channel about ‘keeping the community safe.’ Power tripping: authority as ego fuel.”
