NationStates Jolt Archive

Not a complaint but a thank you for your hard work. I work in tech support and thus get alot of what you get here, and like here, very little thanks in return... and so I would like to open this thread to everyone so that they can say thank you for deleting of offending threads, the booting of offensive posters and trying your best to keep the forums a civil (if not peaceful) place.


Thanks guys.

Yup. They do loads of work, yet receive little in return. Thanks.

(on amore serious note, this could be counted as spam)

Hopefully, this will be counted as a "positive thread" and not spam.

Anyway, I will also like to thank the mods, especially Frisbeeteria, for his recent attempts at being courteous, diplomatic, and attempting to form consensus.

For example: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8557977&postcount=25

Moderation ain't Mount Olympus, y'know. You're willing to work with us, and we're willing to work with you. Let's see what you can do.

Again, a big thank-you to the mods.

(on amore serious note, this could be counted as spam)True... but I wanted to show my appreciation for all that they do. if they deem this spam, then so be it. hope they won't hold it against me.

If you don't like it leave. You won't be missed by many.

Edit: I had just finished looking through the Jamum thread. Well done Fris for not losing your temper.

If you want to build it, there can be. Until then like it or leave it. You don't have to play NS do you?

No. He is suggesting that if you do not care for this site, you are free to go elsewhere.

Frankly, childish behavior, flaming, and complaints that the rules are unfair don't impress the vast majority of the people who post and play here. One might get a bit more support and respect if one actually tried to follow the rules and get along with others.

I strongly suggest you leave off trying to provoke the moderators and go back to enjoying the game and the forums.

just saying that I would prefer bots that's all geez!

Yeah, the mods do a great job.

Thanks :)

Bulgers and Alien Born: Knock it off before this thread turns into a flamefest or something like that. Let's not give the mods more work then they already have.


Mods: From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for the great job you're doing for NS. While it may be unappreciating and sometimes insulting, I want you all to know that I think you're doing a great job! Thank you! Keep up the great work! :D

A heartfelt "Thank You!" for keeping this place from turning into one big chaotic flamewar.

Indeed much thanks. Mods have been more than helpful to me and Earth II, even though they may not know it. Here here!

There was a NationStates without Moderators. It was a special, magical place, where everybody was happy and nice and civil. Oh, yes, the server was brutally raped by all the internet traffic, and you frequently septuple posted as a result, but people were courteous.

...and then, troublemakers started ruining it for everyone else. So, Moderators were appointed to deal with the troublemakers. We've had Mods ever since.

Very much oversimplified, but you get the idea.

Let's weigh.

Secure, minor service hiccups, mods to keep us safe.

Unsecure, constant hiccups more like giant burps, no mods.

Hmm...I'll trade freedom & headache for security & stress-free on this one.

Thank you for deleting Bulgers (if you did) for flaming me because of the fact that I betrayed Jamum OOC to the mods for bypassing a forumban. That must have been one of the most controversial bans ever.

Anyway, I will also like to thank the mods, especially Frisbeeteria, for his recent attempts at being courteous, diplomatic, and attempting to form consensus.
Same here. And for his moderating on NSWiki. To him I must have been one of the most annoying n00bs ever to disgrace the wiki. Heck.

I must also express my thanks to the mods, for their patience and hard work keeping the forums safe and secure :)

Thank you mods, is there a dominant mod?

is there a dominant mod?
SalusaSecondus and [violet], the admins, would be the 'dominant mods', I think.

Seconded.

Thank you mods, You have definatly helped me to the best of your ability, And I really appreciate it. And a special thanks to fris for helping me on several occasions, and a thanks to Myrth for being so Awesome.

Not for anything... but this thread is really starting to edge on verbal fluffling... is it really needed on the mod forum anymore?

*NOTE* Ish not a mod */NOTE*

I'm a mod at another MB - I know how the job goes.

An occassional thank you thread is never harmfull as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you all Mods and Admins ( and Mr. Barry of course )

but this thread is really starting to edge on verbal fluffling... is it really needed on the mod forum anymore?
I'm with you, actually ... but some folks seem to like these things. What the heck, it only takes up one slot on the page.

I as well would like to thank the moderators for teir hard work.

thank you for taking care of the griefer that ejected those nations from my region. Thank you for taking care of those nations that couldn't help what insult me...

I would like to not thank you for ejecting me from the UN. I understand however that you acted on what the security system said. I still think it's unfair, and that my nation will be scared forever because of it.

SalusaSecondus and [violet], the admins, would be the 'dominant mods', I think.

Does that mean that there are 'recessive mods'? :p

Yes, and when we get together, you end up with red-headed stepchildren with blue eyes.....

Thank you mods, for putting up with the weird sense of humour some Nations display.

So if this is verbal fluffing... so what... they deserve praise now and then.

Yup, us old folks still remember that magical time.

But yeah, you mods do so much for the large player base that you have. You guys take so much flak for every little thing you do that angers someone, and yet you rarely get a thank you. Seeing as this thread is still open, allow me to say:

Thank you.

Thanks for sorting out n00bs and everything else.

Aye... they do... but personally, I think it'd be best served in the IRC room... just my oppion (Fris, correct me if I am wrong, you always do!)

Anyway... I too am a mod on another forum, 'tis hard work, it is always nice to be thanked... I just thought the thread went on rather long is all...

*NOTE* Ish not a mod */NOTE*
(well HERE anyway)

I'd have to toss in a thank you as well. Not just for all the hard work in keeping the forums clean and deleting griefers, but also for all that button clicking to resurrect my nations when they died.

Thanks!
