I rarely have any issues with the moderators or site admin. In fact most of the time I have found these people to be great fun loving individuals that really enjoy a good joke.

If you remember that they are primaraly members first and don't do anything to where they HAVE to get involved you can see that they just want to be a part of the crowd as well.

Theres also the bonus that if a good thread comes along and some moderators are able to post in it the thread also seems to do better. I would be willing to bet they would rather participate on the board than to moderate it.

Recent DNA and other tests reconfirm that all* staff are still mammalian and human & have no inhuman or non mammal traits or features. Genetic manipulation and or EBE or ET seeding has not influenced or infiltrated our cadre.

Simon's strict code enforced by Sr Admin hasn't faltered. Even though some times we do, because after all we are still human, and prone to discrepancies. Working together as a team, and keeping each other in check, such occurances should be far and few between.

Thank you for reading this Public Service Announcement, I now return you to your regularly scheduled ATSer travels.

All staff also refers to and includes Mirthful Me, our solo genius "Simian" who has been or should be said, has adopted the entire staff of ATS.

You sure about that??

I was almost positive that MemoryShock was kind of squirrely.....

I always kind of figured the indoctrination process for mods went something like the "treatments" in a Clockwork Orange...

Yes, how ever;
MemoryShock may or may not have under gone severe and extreame influences from MKULTRA. I can not confirm nor deny that.

He has passed the genetic testing, and meets or exeeds the requirements for quality control.

Let me reassure all members that every staff member does adhere to OSHA, FDA and purity codes.

Again, I can not confirm nor deny any activity of MKULTRA upon staff.


Thank you, thank you no more questions.

I have also noticed that an unusually large percentage of the staff exhibit evidence of being susceptible to external influences affecting neural pathway formation and behaviour, to a much greater extent than the general public.

You might want to look into that.

Quite honestly this thread is more true now than it has been in the past, at least from my perspective, I mean, look at all these people disrespecting the staff as of late. People crying "censorship" and the what not, even people going as far as to publicly state they're going somewhere else, as if they stand a chance gaining the respect the community here has.

I don't believe I'm being one sided when I say that either. ATS, and it's staff have gained quite a lot of respect from a good number of people, unfortunately it's those people who are new to the game don't have the know about to show respect in return, and thus we have conflicts similar to what have arose lately. I suppose it also has to come with the terms of getting larger, I'm sure many large and astute communities have had the same growing pains over the years.

The sad thing is that it does feel like it's affected the discussion here for the worse, these "pesty" members. It might just be me...but I remember the good ole days when ATS just always smelt of conspiracy, now it's more of the hoax killer site and what not, and at the same time, full of some of the most "too open" minded people on the net it seems. Again, it might just be me, and might also be my lack of therough browsing lately.

Still remains though, ATS mods do a thankless job, and it really does sadden me that there are so many users who seem to have a problem with them, and feel a need to draw attention to themselves.
