Thanks - To The Moderators.

21 replies
Before anyone flames me for ass-kissing just ask yourself if you've seen something you thought was inappropriate disappear, or a thread you thought was in the wrong section suddenly move or get locked.

I've been here a long time and I'm still amazed at the great job that the moderators here do.

Sometimes I click on the button to report a spam thread and it's already been nuked - between when I saw it and when I went to report it.

I know it must be a really frustrating job so I want to say a big THANKS!!!!.

    Yes, you're right. Without them this forum would become a worthless forum, full of spam.

    And also with our help, you can make the job easier for the mods. When you see a spam post, advertising, or bashing somene, simply report it.

    And I think, that everyone should thank them , because without them we won't have this great place for learning something new, resolving our problems or getting professional advice.

      I for once completely agree with you. Previously I had my own forum and after less then 6 months, I decided to close the forum solely for one reason. I cannot and don't have time to moderate the forum.

      It's not an easy job. So the moderator here deserve million thanks :-)

          They do a tremendous job.

          They're also a little like a country's "security services" in that some of their greatest successes are never seen or noticed at all.

    This happens to me a lot.

    Although the mods here are all volunteers (which many seem to not appreciate), they do a thorough and professional job of moderating.

    The proof is in the experience Andy mentioned. And in the occasional rants by clowns who get nuked and want to bitch about it.:rolleyes:

          I agree 100 percent there is alot of work behind the scene that nobody see's. It was nice the other Sunday night, when the porn spammers got booted. Mods have a life besides here. So here is a Great Big Thanks !

        Totally agree, Andy. It's good to remind us all about this from time to time.

        Although...

        In those instances, it's more than likely your report has triggered the number required for automatic deletion, pending a mod review.

        Goes to show that the "we are all mods" system is also working. Every member who takes the trouble to report a post should should also get a pat on the back - and encouragement to keep up the good work.

          As pointed out they quietly go about their duties and expect nothing in return.

          If your post was nuked 6 times you may want to read : "Forum Rules", That said, if you're post was nuked 6 times, you are probably fortunate to still have an account; extremely fair moderating, I'd say and noticeably, you have "never" thanked anyone at the forum, hmmm.

    Right on Andy!!

    They keep this place sane and workable 24/7. Without them this would turn into a wild west pretty fast.

    Go Mods!!!

    I think everyone is a moderator here, and besides the forum categories are not so much like forums that have over 50 categories

    While it is 100% true that the mods deserve the pat on the back, don't forget that Members are Moderators here and that if you want to pay the mods back or help the mods keep the forum clean of spam and other objectionable posts, that you need to do your job and use the report button.

    Mods cannot cover the entire forum and read every post, but if the posts are reported, they can act on it. Don't sit by and wait for the mods to catch everything. Hit the report button (the red triangle)

      Exactly!

      And I thank everyone who takes the time to play their part and help make the mods job easier by highlighting problem threads/posts.

      It's not an easy job and you're never going to please everyone but in a forum as big as this it's amazing just how well it does get moderated.

      We've all had posts deleted, but because we know that it's usually done from a considered and community-improving mindset it just reminds us to try and keep thing positive and helpful and not as the community for selfish ends.

    Yup, especially them getting the WSOs getting reviewed so quickly. This forum isn't much like some other forums where mods and members talk in threads like the best buds! LOL.

    It must be a real pain to moderate a forum in this IM niche. I don't know how they do it, but I have to give it to them. They are doing an excellent job. Thanks to the Mods!
