I thought of this thread the second I saw [#10](http://www.cracked.com/photoplasty_293_if-mundane-jobs-got-indiana-jones-treatment_p2/). 😃 Srsly, for the most part, I think the mods here do a terrific job at a very difficult and usually thankless task. So, thanks y’all. I appreciate your efforts, your time, and the resulting best message board on the internet. ---

I don’t have an active piece of moderation to thank, but thanks to all the mods for catching the spammers so fast. I can imagine the sheer amount of spam accounts and posts here is insane. ---
