I consider myself to have been very lucky in modding. I have received thanks, and appreciation threads (mainly from spammers, but they -spammers- are the best kind really). On the other side I've dealt with a lot of nasty stuff. I believe that I can honestly say that I've see the best and the worst.

I will say this: when things get bad those thanks/threads that were given (without me wanting or asking for them... in fact I removed most of them) gives strength to continue. It sounds corny, but it's true. I appreciate and am grateful for that.

I am grateful and appreciative to those who would be so courageous (there is vulnerability in it) and thoughtful to express gratitude to another for their effort. It's easy to rip someone down or tear them apart, but, to try to brighten someone's day is a whole other matter. I think they are the heroes of SGWs.

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.

much truth there... only a small minority thank the mods when they deal with stuff... and as a former forum admin, you know that well... the titles were given by Forum as a small token of gratitude for the work we mods&admins put into this forum...

And I myself as a former forum admin know the innecessities of further seperating the Staff from the Players. Moderating, if anything, is a PRIVILEGE.

I've done my share of Forum Admining, 3-4years of the same forum and community. I had zero ingame bonuses, no special weapons that did the same or anything. The only difference I had was on the forum.

Can we mass better with that? grow faster? or heck even be better then the rest of you guys? In no way that is possible. Jason(Forum) offered a reward for us as a token of appreciation. Baz came with the idea of titles. This was the best way as we dont get any benefit from it. If you wanna mass us for cleaning up the mess you create on yourselfs go ahead. However i heard enough of these complaints and thats why i am locking this topic. Go ahead rant on me i coudnt care less. We sacrafice our free time(yes voluntary) to be mods/admins here. And all members of the current team do this with passion. Let us have our titles and go on with your lifes if not do whatever you wish. We'll still be here modding the forum

come off PPT and i'll take my chill pill
