lets get something straight, about the mods Options

[*[2]Nekked*]

i'm going to try to remain as calm as i can about this. but you all know me so .. yeah.. if i get a little out of line, you'll have to forgive me.

i dont understand how some of the members can bash the mods when they really dont know crap about what we have to put up with every day.

seriously, if you had to deal with 22,257 people everyday, receiving 20 pms a day from people who either need help with something, want to request a layout, or people who you've warned or yelled at for one reason or another because they broke a rule, and they pm you just to cuss you out because they think that's the mature thing to do in such case, then you wouldnt be all bright sunshine and daisies all the time, would you?

it's seriously really stressful sometimes, and i think some of you take for granted what we give you everyday. we try to give you as safe and friendly of an environment we can, and we're always willing to help people in reasonable situations, and yes, at times we have to be strict and maybe sometimes mean in order to set things right.

please dont forget that there are 22,256 other members on this forum, and you are not the only person here. if you've broken a rule, it effects everyone else in one way or another and if we warn/yell at you about it, its because you are not only disrespecting the guidelines that the admins have layed down for us, but you are disrespecting other people who are trying to have a good time on this site.

i am curious to see what would happen if certain mod-bashing members were modded temporarily. i know for a fact that they would change their views in an instant if they had to go through what we have to go through everyday.

dont get me wrong here. just because i say that being a mod is sometimes stressful, it has still been by far one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable experiences in my life. but i just think that people need to seriously think out what kind of position we're put in before they judge us mods.

i'll leave this open so that some people can respond, before i ask someone to close this.

Thankyou, Trish. I'm really glad someone finally came out and said something about the way the mods have been talked about recently.

Most of you guys know that I'm fairly new to the whole mod thing on here. I will be honest in saying that prior to being a mod, I had thoughts like 'oh, modding doesn't seem that hard. Piece of cake. I could do that no prob' because I had no idea what it was like to be in their position, and have to deal with all the things mods deal with on a daily basis.

I never realized how tough it is to be a mod on cb. Like Trish said, there's over 20,000 members on here that we have to look out for, and do what's best for the entire createblog community. And like its been said before, mods are people too. They just have a different title than most of the other members. They should be treated with the same respect you would extend to any human being - and sometimes even more. Modding is a tough job!

Honestly though, being a mod here at cb has been one of the best things I've ever had the chance to do as far as internet - communities go. I've made so many new friends here, and its just been a great overall experience.

Thank you to my fellow moddies, for making Createblog what it is today. and thankyou to Trish for getting something off her chest that really needed to be said.
