Hello guys.
In light of the spambot blitzkrieg I woke up to, I wanted to remind every one that politeness will get you a lot farther than rudeness and sarcasm when you do anything.
I know it's frustrating when a spambot attacks, especially if it's in a thread you started. And I'm glad you were all diligent in reporting it while the mods were AFK so it can be handled now.
But please remember that we are reading the comments you guys make in your reports. They're not just getting fired off to some wasteland never to be seen again.
But mods are not always here. We're people with lives who need sleep too. And waking up to find this mess? Yeah, it's frustrating and annoying to go through and delete all those, but it's equally frustrating to see snippy attitudes, sarcasm, or implications that we're not doing what we're supposed to in the reports.
If this happens in the future, please make your report. Be conscise, clearly and politely state the problem and a mod will get to it as soon as possible.
Thank you.
