An Appreciation post to the Herald "The Djinn"
This post is what the title says. A thank you and an "I appreciate you" post.
As you all know, today and yesterday the boards have been at a sort of crisis regarding mods being vehemetly hated by a small, but vocal group of people who seem to be very pissed off and just so happened to meet each others at an untimely time.
But when you see any of those posts, you always find Djinn there, trying as hard as he can to find a solution, to peacefully and politely address any issues there are and to clarify wherever he can. Try giving me an example of any post that has ever addressed the mod team where Djinn HASN'T made at least some approach towards.
Whenever I think of Mods and Initiative, my subjective imagination of Djinns mugshot pops into my mind. I've never known a mod who gives as much effort to be there for as many posts regarding issues with mods in correlation to how damn calm and collected a person of responsibility on the internet can be. This guy's level of enthusiasm would make Keanu Reeves jealous.
Now, nobody here has to agree with me, matter of fact i don't expect many agreements today, but as far as I and my opinion goes, it's unquestionable how much effort The Djinn gives into trying to address issues with moderation. What I'd give to have an administrator at my work who cares for both his fellow workers and his customers, to give an example easy to visualize.
So thank you Djinn for always trying to make the best out of every situation where the Mods and their work conflict one another. It has contributed to quite a lot of peace and understanding for those who can accept it.
