Being a Mod is a hard job. Most of the work is unseen by the general pop.

I've always thought Millie phrased things tactfully when she had to step in and close a thread.

So before it's too late I thought there oughta be a thread to say, thanks Millie.

Hey, I'll second that.

Millie, I've occasionally grumbled about the resmods here, and probably taken your name in vain more than once, but you did a great and rather thankless job. I'm here to thank you for it.

Actually, one of my favourite memories is Millie closing a particularly nasty thread with something like "Oi!! We'll have none of that here!" :p

That one didn't just get locked, it was nuked. But here's another favourite Millie moment:

In before the lock!

Yeah. I enjoyed her lock-ups. Used to watch out for them like the cherry on a high-cholesterol trifle.

Mind you, I often wonder if it was she who deleted a post of mine that made use of the empty-space-in-the-ground word, which I had carefully modified with the indefinite article and two sibilants?

Could be. She's a tricky one.

Why don't you try posting it again, and see what happens? :D

Yes.

And to Strife and Cybin.. You guys were all great. Hopefully (but not likely) LL will review the way things were moderated here and take notes. Well done, y'all.

*raises a glass of warm AB negative* To all the resmods I have known whilst reading and posting here, Strife, Millie and Cybin, thank you for your efforts and time spent doing a difficult job here.

My name for Millie was "Mealy-Mouthed Millie" because she usually danced around the "real" reasons she closed threads down; she would have been really at home in the Zombie Thread with those feminist inclusionary attitudes of hers that she tried so hard (and unsuccessfully in my case) to hide.

Strife, on the other hand, closed threads with a final ambiguous comment that usually suggested possible agreement with whatever mayhem had occurred, but that it was against the rules - except when closing down the outpourings of those poor people that thought the forum was a substitute for the professional help they so obviously desperately needed.

Cybin was/is just a closet Linden; Clark Kent, eat your heart out.

Pep (wonders why Strife never counselled Jig to look elsewhere for answers.)

The reason this forum survived so long was because we had the Resmods, IMO

Thanks to them..

Specially Strife, cause she was the one who was here when I first came to RA

I thought the reason it survived so long was that there was almost no moderation . . .

Pep ( . . . except when wusses like Lindal or Mo went running to Millie complaining "he's being mean again".)

I can't even imagine how strange it must be to act as ResMod without any particular support by the people who own and manage the forums being moderated--a situation that extends back even to Strife's tenure. I'm in awe of anybody able to operate in such an environment, and we've been tremendously lucky to have folks who've done so with such restraint and good humor.

Thanks. You've done a phenomenal job under the weirdest of conditions.

A personal attack was always one of the surest ways to get a thread locked, so excuse me, Lias: your mother has a moustache and wears army boots.

Well, this one is particularly creepy. Like something seen through a half-opened door in The Shining.

*shudder*

Yes, thanks much to the resmods. My mind always boggled that they continued to help out, even when ignored and dissed by Lindens.

And particular kudos to Strife, who simply and amazingly calmly enforced Forum guidelines, while enduring public personal attacks by insanely paranoid residents.

that'd be.. "was"..

granted, i was a ResMod before i was a Linden. And have done a little modding since that became "was". But that's not important right now...

I hope Millie and Strife see this thread, i imagine they would appreciate it as much as i do.

So, thank you everyone and it's been my pleasure to help. :)

Was that the plan? I thought we were going for a quick vote of thanks followed by an nice lockdown.

The best laid plans of avs and trolls, eh?
