Nothing wrong with some appreciation. It is usually those who get no appreciation that call it ass kissing. Not poiting any fingers, but why do so many people feel threatened by admins and mods being appreciated. It is the admins and mods who do all the dirty work and fix up everything when people fight on threads and have to clean up after everyone. They're like the police: they do all the dirty work that needs to be done because it is right and they believe in what they're doing, even though they get called "pigs" by ignorant pieces of shit on the streets.
