Powerclipping 

The act of cc'ing more senior people to an email thread in order to gain some form of recognition for your efforts. Desperate corporate types clambering up the greasy pole will exhibit this behaviour.

The powerclipper is usually not self-aware enough to use this in an ironic reflexive form, i.e. "I powerclipped senior management so they know how great I am"

Antonym: Powershedding - The emailer sees no need to cc'd everyone on the list so emails directly to the appropriate party. The emailer will usually exhibit high self-esteem.

Noun: "He's a powerclipper"
Verb: "Geez, he powerclipped me in on this banality; it's way below my pay grade"

Ann: "Why did I get this email from Bill?"
Colin: "He's powerclipping his way to the top."

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.”
