The best mods that I've been around in my experience are the ones that are willing to let chat flow as it does but you only get rid of people that are over the top obscene, spamming links, or those who are just starting up flame wars. Trolling is an absolute part of it that you shouldn't even bother listening to. You shouldn't EXPECT thanks whatsoever. Until you get used to the idea that you are NOT supposed to be thanked by anyone for being a mod, and can get used to the fact that people troll you because you respond back to them, you won't be ready for some of the more insane streams around. I've modded for stream chats everywhere from 5 viewers to 40,000. The way I've seen you conduct it is far from ideal. | ||

If you're modding because you want praise or some meaningless power and respect, then you should probably just stop. In my opinion the ideal moderator is just another contributor. Someone who sees a void and wants to fill it for the community's sake, not just his or her own. Sadly, on most of the internet people are doing it for the meaningless power and then when they realise their job has all the glory of being a garbage man (a noble job, but not a glorious one), they get tired of it and start complaining. | ||

Hell you made it a personal competition to try to get more compliments out of the chat that you're the best mod that iNcontroL has or something like that...thats absolutely ridiculous dude.

The compliment thing was a complete joke between me and mortal because everyone <3'd you lol. Thought you figured that out lol. But yeah i know you won't get thanked lol i just thought the responses were funny/interesting. | ||

The majority of people understand the need for mods and i for one think they do a great job. I would become a mod just to try and make something like the TL community better by getting rid of the idiots who flame, troll and are disrespectful to other forum members. If you think about it, when you get messages like those you should look at it like this: I have just baned aa awful person and made the community a better place, where is my next victim | ||

+ Show Spoiler + now i know that you, goku`, do mod nasl and maybe even ipl if i'm not mistaken, but i don't think that these should count. because (again) it's not big news that there are infinity trolls on these kind of streams. so my point stands. on average (personal) streams, nobody except for the people you ban (obviously) will be angry at you being a mod. and sometimes people thank you, in fact that happened to me quite often so far. maybe you mod wrong bro. | ||

Then one day I sent my laptop in for repair, and they lost it, and they ignored my emails, and ignored my phone calls, and it took 3 months for them to send me a replacement, and then they didn't even send me one with the same specs as before, then the computer broke again in 2 weeks. I look at modding the same way now. Sure, there are lots of great mods, but there are also lots of crap mods on the internet. It's easy to lump them all together as great until you get fucked by one. For example, on the NASL chat, one of the mods asked "how are people getting 1080p for free?" So I typed how they were doing it. I was perm-IP banned, and I sent about 4 emails and they were all ignored with no response. Excuse me if I don't thank him for his work. | ||
