Our forum moderators (those guys with the animated avatars and blue text) deserve a little appreciation. Heck, they deserve A LOT of appreciation. Their job isn't easy...
They regularly get guff for things that are clearly outside of their control. Yet they plug on.
They're demanded to provide concrete facts for issues that are nowhere near to being officially resolved. Yet they plug on.
They must bite their tongues and act professionally, despite personal attacks that twist their words, scoff at their answers, and outright insult them. Yet they plug on.
And if God-forbid they do respond with a bit of humor or sarcasm, they're chastised, threatened, and rediculed even more. Yet they plug on.
So I'm asking all of the mature-minded and even-tempered members of this community to come forward and post in appreciation for the fine job that Nethera, Drysc, Bornakk, and all of the others do, day in and day out. Sure, you'll likely be flamed by some for being a fan-boi or a suck-up, but you'll get much less flack than our moderators get on a regular basis.
So show your appreciation! Offer a heart-felt "thank you" and wish them well.
They deserve it.
