I don’t really know if I endorse bum-kissing, but in my time here I’ve never seen a mod do something that made me think less of him/her/it/them, considering that modding is a fairly thankless job, that’s about as high praise as you can get.

From the impression that I get, these forums seem like they would be truly awful to moderate (since flamebate is basically set up to be an awkward pairing of a real community and a community that exists to be ruined), and things seem to be running pretty smoothly. So, good job moderation team!
