At the end it is also a question of rank, because a newbie doesn't know all the forum yet and he may be in difficult to moderate it (that's obvious). People like full member and above have a high chance respect the other low ranks (this is only a personal opinion).
im against this issue with the rank, some people are not an active poster, he could be just a silentreader, therefore his rank maybe lower than an active poster, what matter the most is the knowledge of the forum rules and the respect to the other member ( this is also my personal opinion )
