Know your enemy.
Sometimes the people you interact with on Alternative Nation have ulterior motives, they aren't just here to read, browse, post and enjoy themselves – they've been given extra reponsibility.
They are responsible for deleting the spam advertising and random (unwanted) porn links that the internet throws at us. They also have some responsiblility for keeping topics relevant and making sure things are easy to read, informative, interesting or at least fun.
They are the unsung heroes of the Alternative Nation Forums, they are the first line of defence, they are the people who complaints are buck-passed to.
I salute thee all:
