Moderating is a thankless task

[OP Steven P. 6,310]

If you have never had a run in with a Neowin forum/news comments moderator and have been here a while, then we're doing a good job. If you have, I hope you appreciate the bs we have to put up with all the time :p

Be cool, thank a (Neowin) moderator today! :)

[The Evil Overlord 11,731]

Thanks, :) NOW GET BACK TO WORK! :p

Just the excuse I was looking for to stalk a Neowin Mod...

Marshall, oh Marshall, <insert psycho music here> :p

[Osiris 734]

haha nice image to go with the point :)

It might be a thankless job in many respects but I think everyone here appreciates the work the mods, the news team and the owners do, so keep it up guys and gals.

[The Dingus Diddler 674]

I hate seeing people bitch about mods because it's a tough task and, like you said, it's rare to ever see them getting thanked or appreciated. So yeah, thanks for all the hard work guys!

[Obi-Wan Kenobi 1,021]

Mr. Bond, I do not only appreciate the great, outstanding, wonderful, awesome jobs that mods/admins/gmods/etc, but I respect you all and put you all on a high pedestal. Keep up the magnificent work!!!!!

[Phouchg 1,744]

Sent thanks to a random moderator just now. Am I cool yet? :p

Ok, thanks!

When I was younger I used to be moderator on every message board I could get my cookies on. :p

My feelings were that I'd just make sure everyone follows the rules, and that was the end of it. Everything else was just to make chat and contributions like everyone else.

At the end of the day you're all (mostly) volunteers. No incentive to do what you do other than because you want to.

lol I posted this a few hours ago in the Random Pictures Thread :p

Love the "What banned members think I do" one.

It's now official - 05/05 is the day of the Moderator @Neowin!

[Barney T. 1,853]

Thanks for this nice thread Steve. I laughed a lot. And thanks everyone, for the nice comments.

[Steve B. 456]

Haha, I had a little laugh at the image. Kinda true though :p

[Jeston 388]

Thanks mods, keep up the good work :)

Have a :beer: on me!

[Nashy 801]

Neowin does a pretty decent job for a forum this size.

[Marshall 13,900]

Thank You Neobond, I'm truly glad to help out in such a great community you've built.

[Semtex 5,592]

No one said it would be easy... ;)

[Ci7 186]

Thanks mod (Y) keep up good work

and Big Thanks You to Neowin Administration for that great community. :)

[LimeMaster 9,640]

Be cool, thank a (Neowin) moderator today! :)

Guess admins and supervisors miss out on the thanks. :laugh:

[The Evil Overlord 11,731]

Guess admins and supervisors miss out on the thanks. :laugh:

and all the reporters, who spend a lot of time phrasing, and paragraphing all those articles...

[Chris123NT 351]

I can relate to the amount of BS a moderator/admin must put up with from my various experiences on other sites. It really is a PITA sometimes. But other times it is extremely rewarding.

So thanks guys!

[Azies 337]

Neobond, Weeell, I wasn't going to SAY anything.. :p

[He's Dead Jim 1,907]

We the users....

wish to show

our appreciation

of the efforts

made by

the staff,

on our behalf.

cheers boss.

;)

happy may weekend, or something equally pleasant to you :)

[articuno1au 1,264]

Well, I'm faced with quite the dilemma.

Either I thank a moderator, thus showing Neobond to be a liar; or I don't thank a moderator and come off looking like an ******* O.o

[Draconian Guppy 5,840]

Yup, mods are greatly under appreciated IMO! They get so much beef, so little reward!

[TheLegendOfMart 1,558]

They don't do it for reward, getting rid of the numpties is reward enough to keep the community going.

I don't get this thread, yeah moderators are great but I don't see why you feel the need to make a thread about them, they do it voluntary and they can always walk away if they don't get thanked.

[Yusuf M. 1,349]

Thanks guys.

Dealing with the troublemakers so Neowin is a friendlier and more inviting place is a reward itself; however, it feels good when people appreciate the work you do. This thread definitely put a smile on my face. We definitely don't do it to have a bunch of thank yous thrown our way but a thread like this is nice.
