Why do most members on B.net always suck up to the Mods? I mean they do a good job and all but a lot of people say how there so awesome and everything. If I was a Mod I know that it would get annoying after awhile. Plus if you want to show how much you love the Mods keep it to your self it just gets annoying.

I don't know what your definition of "foot-kissing" is, but I don't really see that. There is certainly a deep respect for the mods, since they are pretty much supposed to be the epitome of a good member. However, members don't necessarily "suck up" to them.

I ment foot kissing as like in the Bible feet were a big deal like you would wash your feet all the time and in one story a ladie rubbed espensive perfume on Jesus's feet. I dont know that that makes sense to you...? ( not saying the mods are better than us) And if you dont see it go to the thread about mods getting paid I think its the Second post

Ahhh, yes. Johnrap. His opinion is based on the fact that there is a lot of trouble on these forums, and the mods handle it extremely well. I would also guess he believes that Bungie.net mods are better than mods on other forums. You could say that he was saying what many of us were thinking.

How would you know, are you a mod? Has a moderator told you it is annoying?

I don't see a lot of people around here trying to suck up to the moderators. There are the typical members that you get and they do give the mods a lot of complements. This is one of two things. Either members being thankful for the mods keeping us controlled (it is actually possible that people can be kind.) or them wanting mods to like them and result in a reward.

Bottom line: People are just being nice, or they want to eventually become a moderator themselves. Bungie is free so, be thankful for that.

You see, you say most of the members suck up. But in fact, it truly is only a minority of the members. I believe there are more who are openly hostile to the mods than those who take the time to post about how much they love the mods or how great of a job they do and so forth. To be honest, I don't think the casual user even considers the mods when they log on.

One interesting twist to this. Is that there is not much reciprocation from the mods towwards me, despite the ovation. For example, I PM-ed a mod yesterday, responding to something he posted online. And he replied to me with something to the effect of "-blam!- off, you're bothering me."

If you feel like you are being treated unfairly by a moderator you should PM one of the Senior Moderators Stosh or Shishka, or of they are not avalible PM Achronos. Just make sure you are not doing something stupid like sending chapter ads through the PM system.

For obvious reasons. Mayo is not good. Steak sauce>Spicy Mustard>Mustard>BBQ>Honey Mustard>Ketchup>Catsup>Mayo.

Sorry, I don't make the rules. They're just set that way.

Gosh dude, get a spell checker!! :D

Thanks Jim. That was close.

I've heard you can get a great-tasting sauce by mixing mayonnaise and BBQ sauce. It was a sauce at a restaurant I go to, and the server said those were the only two ingredients. It doesn't quite taste the same when I try it though...

To the thread creator: I say the moderators deserve what praise they receive. I mean, if somebody's sucking up for the sake of sucking up, that's different. But if they're simply complementing the Ninjas' good work, I find it perfectly acceptable.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I make it a point not to suck up to anyone.

Infact I hate you all.

People kiss ass because they think their chances of being a mod will rise by infinity. They just dont realize the truth.

I dont know about that. Well maybe not the suckups, but The forum cops who try an act like mods have been succsessful. At least a fiew anyways.

Because there's a fine line between Forum Cops/psuedo-mods/helpful members and wanna-be moderators, and few people know where that line is.

yoo•zel- ('yoo-zhul): slang: vb.

Officium quod Fidelitas.

First off marinealver is correct, if you feel you have been mistreated by a Moderator or think your question was not answered fully or at all, you should message one of the Master Moderators. (Stosh, Shishka, Myself or Recon 54)

As for ass-kissing and all that jazz, despite some people having negative comments or views about us and what we do, it's more of a moral booster. I mean, we do all this work for free and it never hurts to see that our efforts don't go unnoticed. I know I appreciate it when I get a friendly message from someone or I'm not dealing with someone who is probably throwing their keyboard against the wall and slamming their face against their monitor. Sure I don't want to log on and see a million “i <3 modzeratorz!” but it's good to see it every once in awhile, I think everyone on the team appreciates.


P.S. BBQ ALL THE WAY

that is actually a good point yoozel (not that you don't make good points, its just finding good points on bnet nowadays is...sketchy). Like cheering along for an athlete at a game.

And eagles5 doesn' t hate everybody...well, i guess he does. But its a mutual hatred. No racism involved...he hates everybody equally!
