It comes with the territory, I'm afraid. Not everyone can be liked. But if you're being flamed as staff, you have the same privileges as the users too. Just have to let it ride off of your back sometimes, though. Not everyone is nice. :<

Also, if it's a select few, maybe dealing with it case by case would be easier than an announcement too. That way it gets the point across better.

We are talking about the fact that there are people who forget that there are REAL people behind these avatars. That everyone here deserves to be treated with respect, not just mods, but every user. That you should not write things you would not say to a person standing in front of you just because you think you can hide behind the anonymity of the internet.
And that our mods are also users and not robots or payed employees and have feelings too. and like every other user they can get upset or have a bad day.
They do not move or delete threads just to annoy you but because they try to keep everything in order here.
They act not upon their arbitrariness or mood, but according to the rules of this site.
They are only human and bound to make mistakes like everyone else.
They are an important part of this site and devote their free time and effort to help this site exist.
Mods do not ask for you to worship them or threat them better than any other user gets treated, but they would like not to be treated worse.

Our moderators don't get anything out of this, no money, no food, no extra items. I think that it isn't too much to ask for some appreciation at least.

I think that a great part of our users understands this and treats our moderators well, but this is for the few users who don't.
