parts of the question imply that the OP has no authority (the users say that we have no right to punish them). The owner of a site would have plenty of rights to punish, as would staff or others in official status. I think the wording of the question leaves ambiguity as to the exact role the OP holds.

| Oct 19, 2014 at 4:00 | comment | added | Anonymous Penguin | @WernerCD the question implies that either they are the owner or the owner gave them explicit permission to moderate however they feel for (pf course, with restrictions). If they didn't have any powers over the rules, that would make the question entirely different. | |

site that you pay the bills for, you and your staff - that depends on whether or not we are talking to the "owner", a "staff member" or simply "one of many moderators". You can get permission to moderate without being staff/owner. Stick around here long enough, get enough points and you can moderate here (or other SE sites). The unknown parts - specifically how much power the original questioner REALLY has - plays a large part in this question.
