If Jason wants to give these titles, give them, for efforts ingame. G&R points are good example.[/color]

i disagree, G&R points must first be worth more. they're practically useless for normal ascensions, but, thats not the main point of my objection.

it should be special for those who are actively using their time here. granted, not many people think it's fair, and i'd probably question the motivations of any mods accepted from this point on,(unless a proving period was used to make sure it wasn't solely for the title.)

is it going to kill you if anyone who is helping the administration get a small title to appreciate their hard work, mostly not compensated.

there are little times, when one person may be kind, and actually say "thank you" when you do something as a mod. but usually the tendency leans the other way, and it's not the easiest thing to deal with day after day of social attacks, sometimes cussing out in PM's, as well as the constant ignorance of the higher level of modding most people don't see.

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 title i 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!
