Thank you Mods!
« on: December 18, 2014, 07:35:56 PM »
I wasn't sure where i should put this but, i was reading through some of the recent posts including the conversation about Raay's trolling and I just wanted to say, thank you Mods of the MMM forum.

 Thanks for keeping the forum on track and keeping this place from turning into some horrible, ignorant place. Can we get a 3 cheers for the Mods?  Hip Hip....

I'm thinking of one particular mod who often goes above and beyond the call of duty to avoid being an ARS(e) . . .

Sorry,  being a forum moderator is a thankless job, so I feel obligated to not participate.

I have to thank Arebelspy in particular for two reasons.

1) He puts up with a lot of crap and although he has a sharp pen -- ahem -- he generally takes it in stride and doles his stuff out fairly.

2) I'm brown nosing in the hopes I don't get banned at some point in the future, which I probably will anyways.

I've been thankful for each of my temporary bans.  They were well deserved.  :)

In all seriousness, this forum (as reflected by the moderators) does a nice job of hands off moderation.  Most things are allowed to stand, which is how it should be.  Nothing kills my desire to visit like heavy handed moderators.  I think the hands off approach is also what creates good discussion as differing viewpoints aren't stifled just for being different.

Cheers!

Thanks everybody.

Honestly, I'm the most visible face cause I post a lot, but the other mods do a crapton of work too.

And really, you guys are awesome and make it easy for all of us.  We may all argue a lot, but we can do it to learn from each other and without being negative or rude people.  Which is real rare, on the Internet and IRL.

I do hate when we have to moderate someone's post, but luckily the times where that's needed is rare.

And big thanks to those clicking the "report to moderator" button on the bottom right of questionable posts (personal attacks, spam, etc.).  We can't be everywhere, so sending those reports help us out a lot.  We may not do anything right away (so if it appears something didn't happened, don't get discouraged), but even if we don't immediately edit something, we may have PM'd the poster, or be keeping track of a particular poster to see if something needs to be done in the future, etc.  We like to give leeway, but if there's a repeated problem we'll act.

Sometimes you just need a timeout.  You're probably used to the disappointment, being a Cubs fan.  ;)

That's less than two weeks to wait.  You got this!
