I did not sign up to be insulted or be a punching bag for others. No staff member signed up for this role.
Each person in this community, whether they be a player or a staff member, has a right to respect.

Of course, but the point I was making with that post is that mods know how people tend to treat them before signing up for it. Alright time for an even more retarded metaphor, say you sign up to work as a guard at a maximum security prison, they give you a tour of all the criminals and make you aware that its dangerous but you go through with it anyway. Say like two months later there's a riot or some shit and you get your face slashed open by a lifer. When you recover and go back to work many of the prisoners see your entire painful situation as a joke, and of course they do, because it makes them more powerful than you and its not like they respected you that much in the first place. You can't punish the lifer any further, you can't punish the prisoners mocking you because they haven't committed any crime, so what can you do? The difference between the prison situation and the server is that you have no obligation to continue being a guard/moderator, so your options are basically to suck it up, or to resign, and unfortunately once you've already been put through the stressful situation there's not a whole lot you can do to gain respect (not that there were many in the first place, many of these people would want to do harm in the first place just because of your power.) And by the way, I don't mean to say that server troublemakers are dangerous people who don't see you as a person, but this is like an exaggeration and shit, idunno man i wrote all this bullshit and i wanna post it now


Edit: I also wanted to say that I think that the last post was a resounding success because it 1:got me attention which I crave as a troll on the internet, and 2: Got everyone to reunite and agree on something, that something being that I'm a retard who should have his opinion license revoked, and I am fully willing to sacrifice shit like positive reputation for those two things, unlike in the prison metaphor, everyone wins!
