Storm Clarence Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Is "sysadmin appreciation day".\o/ for all us admins. I am sure I will be appreciated.Anyway, I was thinking perhaps we should hold "slf moderator appreciation day" this coming Sunday. I know it's a Sunday and most mods are taking a respite from their brutal weekday grind, but I was hoping they could come to this thread to introduce themselves, and tell us forum folk how difficult and important their job is to the SL Community. And we can bestow the accolades they truly deserve; and one by one. Many of us only know the mods by reading their names as they move a thread to an appropriate sub-forum or when we receive the "We appreciate your participation, but...." PM's when the RIC's come rolling in. Perhaps it's time to change all that. And have a very happy sysadmin day! Please don't forget to send the little gifts like a lunch voucher or comic con tickets or cigarettes to your favorite sys admim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, at least, make it appear as if they can. So hockey tickets, fast food vouchers, and/or a well written thank you note are more appreciated. PS I will send the SLF mods some pie!

Some of the Sys Admins I have known have been worth their weight in gold. It is very gracious and generous of you to include the SLF Mods in the celebration. Perhaps a gift from this fine Purveyor of Pies would be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Clarence Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I was not being gracious or generous with my act of inclusion. Friday, SAD day, is NOT Sunday. I am not *that* politically correct. I was only soliciting opinion. PS I look forward to sending some pie to the mods. Thank you for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenMichelle Lane Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I for one appreciate the "Sysadmins" and Moderators here in the SecondLife SL Answers & Forums arenas. I love the exchange of ideas, ,methods & philosophy without the distraction of personal attack posts, porn & escort services posts, Sports Spam posts and the like. Keep up the great work all you Moderators and Sysadmins. Your job can;t be easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall be providing lots of surprises to the Moderators to celebrate their SADness, although in the spirit of their own customary stealth operations I won't actually send them any notification of what I have done; they will have to guess. They should think of it as a Treasure Hunt, so please don't help them if you see something that they might appreciate. The surprises may even disappear between their identifying them and returning to enjoy them. They will, of course, be provided at my sole discretion, without warning or explanation. I am particularly delighted at their continuing prevention of my access to the execrable 'Trending' tab in the Feeds, and even more joyous that the history of revision of my displaynames is being recycled so that readers can compliment me on changes that have passed their zeitgeist. I am also confident that their definition of "harassment" as "logically, clearly, and as the occasion demands, humorously, expressing a dissenting opinion" will eventually be accepted by Merriam-Webster.

I can't make up my mind whether or not this thread is sarcasm, but just in case it's not... There are no moderators here because nobody moderates this forum There are some managers who respond blindly to complaints by users (often without any brain cells involved), but that's all. So there's nothing to either thank them for or appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd spend the rest of their SL lives being bombarded by requests and "suggestions" from users on how to improve the system...at least, that's my thought.
