jessamyn: Thank You. I've been an internet forum moderator for years now and I think you've been doing a kick-ass job in my professional estimation. Kudos.

Yes, complete and total ass kissing. When I grow up I want to have a brown nose.

Yea Jessamyn! You are definately a Pro, in the best sense of the word!

Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN TO MAKE A COMPLIMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!

OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.

Jessamyn, you obviously have a martyrdom complex to put up with all this shit and for that I salute you!

*drops pants*

Agreed. A toast to Jessamyn~

Jessamyn is a class act. And a New Englander to boot. She can clip my comments any time!

Wow, classy indeed Mr. Mayor, I cant stop thinking about double entendres reading your compliment.

Oh jessamyn, you always know when we're drunk and spoiling for a fight. Thanks for keeping those fights from happening (or from being recorded on the server for very long).

I dissent. I haven't been an internet moderator for years. That's just crazy talk.

So which forum have you been moderating for years, Captaintripps?
posted by scarabic at 9:55 PM on December 3, 2005

I concur, wholeheartedly. Well done, I say. Well done indeed.

Thanks, Jess, you make this place work.

(Though my AskMe comment you deleted was comedy gold, I tell you.)

I knew there was a reason AskMe was Green, not Gold.

These ones. They're all over the place as far as focus and populated by male teens. So if you think anything here is bad...imagine what I have to deal with. I actually took the place of a MeFi member as moderator a few years back.
posted by Captaintripps at 11:37 PM on December 3, 2005

Cap'n'tripps, I am agog. What is that all about? I mean, would you like to share any insights. I have to deal with a lot of 'male teens' and I thought I had a good handle on the situation but... WTF?

I know hotlinking is bad, but come on.

Hang on!

It looks like porn but has the name of a board game played by young boys yet according to the tagline it's actually about Tractor Repair. How do you get around the basic problem that it makes your target audiences' heads explode as soon as they learn about it?

Dude. This is like beer and xmas turkey combined in an M&Ms-like package. It makes me drunk, puts me to sleep, although, contrary to the jingle, it does, in fact, immediately melt in my hand.

Link to forums no workie. How am I supposed to sign up and torment you at work ;)

jessamyn's polite behavior in the "OMFG WHY DID YOU DELETE THE 29TH GEORGE BEST THREAD YOU BROKE MY HEART YOU'RE DOWNRIGHT RUDE" MeTa thread demonstrates once again that, as the good Mayor said, she is indeed a class act.

thanks for all the work you put in at this kindergarten, j.
unruly child that I am, I'm very grateful for it.

I don't think I could handle all the abuse. You're a better man than I am, Jessamyn.

She's a good looker-upper, too!

Thank You. I've been an internet forum moderator for years now.

God, damn drunk linking. These forums...durr.

justgary: Not anymore I don't. I mean, the pay sucks, but having to listen to the 30th topic about how to talk to girls is just so rewarding.
