Command verb

In user interface design, a command verb is a verb or verb phrase that actually triggers some software functionality, e.g. edit page, search, log in, help, talk, block IP address etc.

Sometimes such verbs are confused and may have subject-object problems. For instance, help usually means "help me the user", while talk usually means "talk to someone else".

The worst of these confusions is that between trolls and the (many) IP range blocks generated to slow them down: sometimes sysop power structure cannot actually tell the difference between the opinion or process that leads to their action, and the output of the action, and the implication of what it means to edit from that IP. The most general word for this sort of phenomenon is stupidity.

More generalized verbs like ask, fix, revert, drive off are quite possible given a more complete understanding of the power structure.

This would however be a social network design problem not a GUI one.
