Unproffessional Comments form moderators

Question

Dear Moderators,
I am member since 2006 and I used to participate in SDN fourum activiely in 2006 and 2007. That this I was the top contributer in From Priting. That  time most of the members used to open threads and once get the answers they used to leave it as it is.
I used to give a comments in all my threads that "Please Close this thread.. when your problem is solved andReward if Helpful"
due to my busy work I did not participated in furums since 2 year and since few days I am posting answers. Now also I am using the same comments at the end of my answers.
I observed that moderators are editing those messages or rejecting the postings. It seems the time has changed and all forum users are aware about how our forum is working..
One of the moderator kishan P has edited my positng and updted unproffessional comments. like "Welcome to the 21st Century. Do not beg for points."
I am surprised.... we all are working proffessionals and should have minimum knowldgede of respecting other proffessionals.
If the moderator really wants to say that donot ask or inform about points I think he can remove the post or edit it.. but I think it is not a proper manner to give such a comments.
Could you pelase give moderator status to the members who are good professionals or give some training how they have to respond to the new members... the comments should be encuraged enough to invite more professional but not to dissppoint them
Thank you for understandig...

Naresh and the Community,
Firstly, my apologies for the unprofessional words used. As has already been stated, there are times when we Moderators snap. This usually happens when a full-time employee with work pressures have to spend part of his time in:
- Moving 30-40 threads to the right subforum,
- Lock, edit and warn 10-20 threads
- Suggest 10-20 postors to use appropriate titles, informative questions, post questions in the right forum etc
- Edit 5-10 ASAP and Argent requests for answers
- Read through 10-20 Abuse Reports and act on them
on a daily basis.
Some people even after repeated requests and warnings just dont get it. In such cases, we propose their ID for deletion. And in between all these we get posts with a "request" for points - which as you must have found out is pretty obselete. This is where the usual snapping point comes. But yes, you are right we do need to maintain a professional approach.
As I stated earlier, some users just do not get it after repeated requests. In such cases, we as a moderator resort to various tactics - humour being one of them. This was one such case that probably went horribly wrong for me. And I sincerely apologize. I will be more polite in the future. People who know me here, probably already know I've already sobered a lot after the Moderatoral responsibilty and trying harder at it.
I would also like to thank you for pointing this out, as it will only make this community a better place for all of us.
