Steven P. Administrators Popular Post Posted May 5, 2013 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2013 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! :) Carbon Fiber, Charisma, IanHead and 40 others 43 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1150538-moderating-is-a-thankless-task/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 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.

Mystic Mungis Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 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!

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted May 5, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted May 5, 2013 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.

Chris123NT Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 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!

articuno1au Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 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 Steven P., Calum and Yusuf M. 3 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1150538-moderating-is-a-thankless-task/#findComment-595673308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconian Guppy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yup, mods are greatly under appreciated IMO! They get so much beef, so little reward!

TheLegendOfMart Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 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. Veteran Posted May 5, 2013 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks guys. 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. 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.
