[GM Feedback]

At least this is in General instead of flooding the Localization forum. That forum now only has two or three relevant posts on its front page. The rest are GM feedback.

I believe they were saying to ignore MPK, who was "the quoted player" in their post.

Gotta be careful with the way you word things these days. It certainly didn't read that way initially.
Amended my post., as reading it again it seems you have the right of it. I read it as them responding to MPK quoting me lol. Oh well. Mistakes happen.

Legit never understood thanking someone for doing their job. Being professional and helpful is should be expected.

Awha: Honest answer? After decades in the workplace in a variety of industries, being thanked when you go above and beyond or do your best to help a customer is crucial to morale. Years ago i worked with a lady, got a small issue fixed no big deal, next day she calls me and sends me a huge zen hug, she had had one of THOSE days and having someone step in to make the day a little less AARGHHH made all the difference.

We all need to be appreciated, we all need positives in our day to make our day a little better.

Even those RP posts showed pictures where they mention giving general feedback on the forums and it's implying feedback about issues they are having, not meant as a subtle hint to help them get promoted.

I think the intention is just to get more people to use the forums because obviously most people don't.

Going above and beyond I can understand to a degree, but it seems the GM in question was just doing what they were hired for.

Question.. When your server at a restaurant does their job correctly and to expectations, do you just... ignore them? I understand this is a less personal interaction but thanking people for doing their jobs correctly is something I was taught was courteous and well mannered. Not only that but positive feedback IS helpful. It's important to know when your employees are doing their job badly, but it's also important to know when the customers are being satisfied.

Personally I just let my tip speak for their performance. Sure if someone goes beyond their duties I will go out my way to thank them and show my appreciation.

Though I also did not come from a house hold where positive reinforcement / feedback was a thing. I was raised around you did what was expected of you. Do your chores without being told, do well in school etc . . . Had a job you did it to the best of your ability no matter what and no matter if you did not like the person or task.

So generally getting a Thank you for doing what amounts to what should be expected is a foreign concept to me.

Still trips me up when people would thank me for doing my job. I mean that is why I was hired to perform my job to the best or my ability.

Sure but humans like being complimented on good work. It makes us happy. You robot?

There is never anything wrong with offering thanks to someone who does their job. Thanking people for their hard work is in of itself, the professional thing to do.

"Please" and "thank you" are common courtesies that most children are taught from a young age.
