not for the ordinary reasons, but because it gives a view into 'my life' (yes, via the mods...they share much of the same joys).
1) it's a label.
2) it's a VERY expensive label.
3) "you get out what you put in" -- not true. This is true - modding brings the storms of (player) wrath down upon you, by those you mod, for the benefit of <all but those who you mod, and their friends>, and the thanks by <all but those who you mod, and their friends> is zero. Modding is like taxation - its never appreciated ... (except the occasional drunken post edited...).
4) unbenounst (a word?) to all - i used this ability to tailor labels. i now can easily do custom labels. where will i use them. when will i use them? dont know. but the mod ability allowed it to be easy.
5) my god. think about it. its not unfair. its not crazy. its a way to identify the mods of the community in game (IF they want to be identified -its not a forced ability...one can choose not to use it)... i cannot see how that makes any one else 'less than'.
6) become a mod. if you can demonstrate the skills, keep a good attitude, and help the community - you too can get a title. the community benefits if the right people are helping....as a comparison - the US army pays 20,000USD signing bonus to become a soldier. mods here get a titlei dont think its all that crazy (the title that is).
7) any number of other arguments...
I am also opening this thread again as I have never been so amused, amazed and interested in such opinions.
Mods - please let it go... No need to reply to the criticisms - they are par for the course, and your heartrate is best spent elsewhere
Players - please have respect for the job. It is NOT everyone that can/will/keeps doing it. for a reason. same as soldiers - not so nice to get the occasional smile at the cost of a clip emptied at you...
so - in the words of Ali G - RESPECT!
