Except for all the threads like this thanking them, oh excuse me “praising” them, and all the thanks they get any time an unpopular troll is banned.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I see there was a thank you thread last June, and I see another from August 2006… it’s getting to the point where we’re drowning in “T3h Mods R0xx0rz!”
Once again the world is safe for democracy.

What search terms did you use? Did you check on the "thank you"s in the various troll banning threads? What were the numbers there? Just wondering what we have to do to get up to Frank’s happy equilibrium so I can plan out my Summer.
I agree with the OP. Every time I see the Moderator or Administrator title, I begin masturbating furiously.
Incidentally, on a totally different subject, HR scheduled a meeting with me on Monday. I wonder what they want to talk about?
Hey!
Leave Frank’s happy equilibrium alone!
Prevert…
I would just like to point out that Rico is a fascist.
That is all.
I don’t know anyone named “Cervaise”.
I hope this isn’t a shamless attempt at brown nosing. Oh, wait, that would be the work life. Keep up the excellent work people, without you we would be a pack of snarling wolves.
(Everybody all together now!)
What did you say, Silenus? I can’t hear you.
YOUR SHIRT IS TOO LOUD!

“Mods” and “Moderators” in thread titles. And yes, there are kudos in ban threads sometimes. Of course, those are always in the Pit and there are always people who disagree with the bannings. Point is, your poor eyeballs are not exactly being assaulted with threads praising the Mods. No, I don’t need the thanks - maybe that Gfactor guy does, I couldn’t say - but since you felt like threadshitting I figured I should bring some toilet paper.
Would you like him soundly thrashed, Your Grace? Cervaise and I could…oh, wait, he’s…ah…rather busy at the moment…

My poor eyeballs? I wasn’t complaining that there were too many of such threads.

'Course not. How silly of me to suggest you would complain.
That reminds me- Congress wants to know if you’d prefer a gold medal, or silver. I’ll ask them for samples if you’re having trouble deciding.

Yes, but he is our fascist.
I agree that they do a great job. Enforcing rules ain’t easy, especially when they include things like, ‘Don’t be a jerk!’, hard to delineate the edges of that, on a good day.
Their actions always seem even handed and well thought through. Pretty rare in the real world, when you think about it.
Interesting discussions are rarely free of passion for the topic, without the mods I think things would get real ugly, real fast. And the board wouldn’t be host to such interesting viewpoints and discussions.
You take heaps of abuse for unpopular decisions and so I reckon you deserve a little adoration from time to time, you’ve earned it.
Keep up the great work, we do appreciate it, even if we don’t often say as much.

I took that bit out because it seemed un-necessary but I’ve got to say I have no idea what this response is supposed to mean.
Since this is the pit…
It is **fucking ** great to be on a Gd-damned * board where the dickheads and assholes who abuse the fucking system can get their dicks (or other appropriate appendages) chopped off by a well armed mod with a pen knife.
As a whole, having a modded board does wonders.
Seems like a like of people around here have to renew and are short on cash.

I was asking if you wanted a medal for staying on topic while crapping on the thread. Maybe it was too oblique.
Anyway I’ve enjoyed moderating here over the last two months. Keeping this board ship shape is fun, and I suppose I’m getting my aggression out by blocking the people who try to screw it up. There’s a little ‘protecting the earth from the scum of the universe’ going on.
So how did you get to be a moderator, Marley23?
