Xp in closed threads

Wait... so I shouldn't give XP to the mods for doing their thankless jobs? Or are you meaning comments like in another post?

In my opinion, no you should not.

The policy of ENWorld has always been that moderation is not something that is commented on in thread on a case by case basis. There have been plenty of "Moderator Appreciation Threads" and that's fine. And there have been plenty of Meta threads where an instance of moderation or trend in moderation was discussed and that's fine too. What we want to avoid is situations where a mod comes into a thread and nails somebody who is crapping up the place and people +rep them with a comment like "Right on! That guy got what he deserved!"

Even the simple act of giving +rep without comment is effectively commenting on the moderation. Moderators are posters too and I'd much rather get XP for what I post as a regular guy here than I would get it for simply doing the job I signed on for.

If you like my (or anybody else's) moderation that much then you should just buy us a beer at GenCon. Only some of the moderators don't drink. So if you like their moderation a lot then you can give me their beer.

Another way you can show appreciation is to send a Private Message to the mod if you want to thank them. I always appreciate positive feedback. Failing that, every time you are pleased with my moderation you may buy Rel a beer :)
 

Given that the mods have said that they don't want people to give them XP for moderating, but some people do seem to want to, I propose that there's a solution that'll make everyone happy: have a surrogate who accepts XP on the mods' behalf.

I humbly nominate myself. :]

I would certainly buy you a beer, but unfortunately, as a father of twin infants and one more on the way, my gaming travel budget is approximately $0. However, know that I will toast to you from here.

Appreciate the comments, although if I buy him a beer every time I'm pleased with moderation Rel may be in trouble. My beer of choice is the Hobgoblin Ale from the Wychwood brewery, tall bottle, approx. 2.6 UK units per beer, good stuff. (http://www.wychwood.co.uk/beers.html)
 

Suggestion to improve the website:

Add the capability to move beer through the XP system.

This is 100% guaranteed to make ENWorld the most popular site on teh int3rwebz.
