What do You think about Mods?

[The Republic of Lanos]

Where the hell is the good Reppy when you need her...?

[TaQud]

The Mods of the forums of States.
*ahem*
the mods of the forums of states,
Swing their axes and stand by the gates,
They think they're so tall, and that they wont fall,
But the trolls of NS wait to push em all,
Off the site, with a dear bit of fright,
What a horrid plight, and without the light,
On the seven day ban...

Part two to commense next post, unless the Mods dont like being flattered.

Off the site they're at a strip club right?

[Carlos Harry]

Mods varies. Some are serious and strict, Some are friendly and has some humor. Overall, I voted for Neutral.

Why don't you use the Chinese water torture on people

Oh, I do love a good psychological tear-down, but sometimes it just takes too long to do. I mean, sure, if there's some free time and nothing else demanding my time, I love a good round of slow-torturing the users. But sometimes there's just too much terrorizing to get done in a short period of time!

Well, if you're short on time, you could always hire some extra help. Nothing wrong with sharing the workload a bit in our busy modern society.

I like my mods. I was warned several times on my old nation, and I disagreed with several of those warnings. However, I can see why they thought my actions were warn-worthy.

[Hladgos]

The troll on the seven day ban,
Was just a freak little man,
Who deserved to be gone,
He'd done everything wrong,
And the mods made the right call,
Dont listen to me drawl,
Be they AI's trapped in this dizmal place,
Or a bunch of humans without a face,
They always seem to be in a race, to protect this place.
Not gods, they say, but worse than that,
They'll beat you upside with their bat,
The RPers in stark contrast like gnats,
While they never get to be content as a cat,
And so, ... Damn. I'm out of imagination, but I've one more poem for a mod if they tell me not to flatter tem.

Yeah I guess the mental attack from the water would take to long.

If I get warned, I'm telling on you.

Well this thread has really turned into a joke thread really

But I made pretty poems! We need to host a mod breakfast or something...

I hate to say it, but they usually do. We have the positive or neutral folks who post, we have those with legit complaints that bring them up occasionally, and then we have the angry guys with the agendas who toss accusations around like confetti, but steadfastly refuse to link to evidence, or provide any proof, and prefer just to jab and poke and continue on with their griping.

Go run a search on any thread of this kind, and that tends to be the pattern. We've probably about run through the typical shelf life on this one if there's nothing more content-wise to be offered, unfortunately.

BTW is there ever a mod appreciation day?

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Any time there's a note of thanks, that's appreciation enough. We don't need any big to-do, really.

I think I'm the only person here who wants the mods to make more rules and be more punitive.

No you're not!

The mods dont really like to be flattered,
Cause the're brains just end up all splattered,
It's not like they dont think they mattered,
It's just they dont like to be flattered.

Now I'm going to be smattered...

[TaQud]

So basically if another thread about mods shows up it would turn into a spam fest? Why not just banned threads on opinions about mods

Cause there are logical people who use said threads to address relevant greviances.

I move that from now on you only post in poetry.

How quaint, to do so,
But I'll faint! But we prove so,
That this aint, against you so,
So I'll paint, that mercutio...

Not relavent anymore. Signing off this thread with the poetry stuff.

Some post are logical. The rest...

No, no - continue!
You have a quite good talent in you.
The world could use more verse,
Because it makes bad days less worse.
I think silly rhyming is funny,
And if you agree, send me some money.
I'm out of ideas for now, but if you have a few,
Maybe you can post one or two.

Okay, that last line was a stretch.

I'll reach in my pocket, and find all but money,
Maybe some lint will suffice?
I'm not sure if I can call you honey,
But that's up to the dice,
Yes the world is much worse,
Than these few soggy verse,
And I'll probably end up passing you in a hearse.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Alright, enough with the poemspam, kids. Amusing and all, but hey. There's limits.

And no, we would never ban opinion threads. Some good does come out of them. We're not above criticism, whatever a few seem to like to claim. I think it's important to make sure players understand that they aren't going to be instantly deleted just for questioning how we handle things, or commenting negatively about us.

If those accusations were true, how is it we still have people around to criticize and toss around unsupported accusations? If we were half the tyrants we're claimed to be, that's one of the first things I'd go about cleaning up, and then systematically 'removing' any and all evidence to the contrary. It would be the smart thing to do, no?
