I know this question sounds incredibly stupid but I am told that I am "Mini-Modding" and do not know what that means. I think it might mean that I am modifying answers by a very little amount but I really do not know its been irking me a lot so can someone tell me what this is and if it is a term for this site only.

Mini-modding is basically doing or attempting to do what a moderator does while not having the authority of a mod.

Telling people the rules when they break them doesn't mean you're mini-modding; telling people that they should be warned, banned, stop arguing etc., however, is.

What constitutes as mini-modding can also differ from site to site & forum to forum. There's also backseat modding, which again differs in definition from site to site, but is generally used as a synonym to mini-modding.

In direct relation to the site; useless flagging and saying "this should be hidden" is minimodding. Answering suggestions in Meta without knowledge is minimodding.
