102546-thanks-to-the-forum-staff

== Content ==
			
Not a lot of bum-polishing here, just a genuine thank you to the people who were behind the new server sub-forums. Evindra's forum is now quite clean, all of the guild recruitment posts are shelved for quick and easy access, and I pray we can begin to use these server hubs for the purposes of RP and general dialogue— as intended!
 
I saw someone asking for this in a post recently but didn't expect any change so quickly.   /highfive(also, did I notice Chillia's avatar is now a traumatized unicorn, or was it always that way?)

Don't you like having your customer thanking you for when you do a good job?

the reality is maybe you have never worked or maybe work in a position where you never get recognition for doing things or never do things outside your basic "get a pay cheque" work flow. just like most people never thank their doctor for keeping them healthy, or their post person for delivering mail, it is basic courtesy to do so. and if nothing else, makes that person feel that they are appreciated and their job is worthwhile.
 
 
the work environment would be a far better place if people generally felt that they get noticed for what they do day in and day out.
 
being a jerk often has the opposite effect as I am sure you know.

Yea forum guys/gals take the brunt of things while the higher ups sit back drinking their starbucks making video's and streaming on twitch all the while ignoring the poor souls (probably underpaid interns) who have to regulate this mess.
 
Thanks forums peeps, even if you hate me at times (most times probably).

Not everyone who disagree has to be "cupcakes" . Some people are smart enough to have a conversation without insults. Glad you seem to be one of them. Best of luck no matter how things turn out.

I dunno, I go full derp sometimes and the moderators lock the post, shoot me in the kneecap, and throw me in the basement.

Why are you thanking them? You should be thanking me and everyone who posted in my thread to get them to fix that mess.

I have to say, your OP was really rude, and you continued to be rude in almost every post you made after. I think you're lucky they gave what you wrote any creedence at all.
 
You pretty much turned on the "I'm talking to a faceless machine" tone when dealing with people. We all do it, but it's never justified. Also, I didn't thank them for anything you were talking about, i.e., guild tags or whatever. I wasn't even aware there was a change in that way. I thanked them for creating sub-forums, which I don't believe was your suggestion.
 
I also think it's pretty immature to come here going on about how you deserve all the credit. Humility much? I don't know if you've been just having bad days, because your past posts didn't come across this way, but come on, man. Not cool.

Meh, what ever to the argument I was going to throw in with.
 
But yea, they may be slow sometimes but it's good they take requests seriously.

You can only take so much and keep smiling before you're just tired and burnt and tired of making excuses. Was I rude, yes, was it very intentional, yes, did it net results, yes. Seems to be the only way to get anything done around here. I hate doing it but eh.. they don't deserve my respect anymore they lost it. Constantly moving positive and good ideas to sub forums to die and where no one will ever see them... while negative threads out the wahzoo get to stay on the general forum where all the traffic is.
 
 
The Guild recruitment forums was the final straw.... No I'm done with playing nice with the forum mods.

Well here are a few things to think about:1. Do you really think they responded to your rude tone? Does it seem reasonable that they were like, wow, Scott is super pissed, we better get on this! Sounds like irrational justification to cover up the part of your ego that knows you did something wrong.
 
2. While pointing out the rampant negativity on general, do you feel that your thread (which you believe had positive results) isn't part of that negativity? Tone and respect are significantly more important than what you're pushing. If that wasn't true, most of these rude, negative threads would be perfectly fine, because they're all pushing for the same thing: What the author believes is right and true.
 
3. I myself was very negative recently in the gchat of a guild I was in, concerning population issues and other things related to WS. It pissed some people off and depressed others. Combined with some other things that weren't necessarily my 'fault', it led to me leaving the guild. And nothing good has really come of that, all said. Maybe with time and a bit of mature reflection you'll come to the same conclusion I did: Rude negativity is not a productive tool, just like punching someone in the face doesn't make them any smarter or sympathetic to your cause.

			Do they ever plan on fixing the issue where you are logged in but when you try post it logs you out? Or are they simply going to keep acting like this isn't a problem?

If you look at my post history that was the only Negative topic I've ever made ever, most are suggestion topics with ideas etc, and usually on a helpful positive tone, sure some of my posts today are pissy and I am in a bad mood but that's because.. well look at the forums things are getting bad, and now I'm literally getting scared for a game I enjoy, I can get hostile with some of the trolls.
 
But generally I'm not negative, and I'm usually very constructive, so yeah I do think me changing tones 180 degrees might have made them go oh.. well .. and pause for a second. That has nothing to do with ego, and has everything to do with most  of the mod staff have interacted mostly positively with me in exchanges in personal messages etc. even when I questioned why some of my helpful suggestion posts were moved I generally stayed positive about it and respectful to them in the PMs.
 
So I think seeing me pretty irrate when i'm known for a different demeanor may have nudged it.

			Regardless of all my excuses above (yeah I know what they are I can call them what they are.) I apologize for being bitchy today.

			The mods rock 6 days a week. Sundays? Maybe they hide in the shadows on Sunday to see how the mice play when the cat pretends to be away ... ;)
