Bolt is banned why?

[florian999]

Hello Gree,


A long time there was no community communication with the people here then Bolt comes and things was a little better. Now bolt is banned? Any comment why?

Halpy Ruin your Company Gree :)

[Vile Lynn]

hmm... Just noticed Bolt is banned... What's going on?

And, Clementine & Relic are not accepting PMs.

:confused:

[florian999]

I'm sure that gree make a new ultimate Customer Expierence with better Support for Player when the Banned the community Manager. Love Grees way of thinking :P

[Vile Lynn]

Actually, I'm a bit worried. :(

Most likely got fired

[Dipstik]

No talking about bands!

[Vile Lynn]

Clementine's and Relic's avatars are gone, too... curious.

[Dipstik]

And thus 1shot will be taking over sole duties of moderating the forum?

Let's just say that it has nothing to do with "moderation."

Layoffs. Multiple confirmed sources. Pretty sad.

[Blaggard]

They were too helpful for Gree's liking. :(

Awww. If true, that SUCKS!
Best wishes to Bolt.

That's pretty accurate. Similar story with Tadaaah and A&F.

[Dipstik]

So seriously then... 1shot is now completely unsupervised as moderator of this forum? No one to complain to even if they never replied, and no one looking over his shoulder?

[Brendan]

Cool, no mods, does this mean we can say whatever we want?! Like being in school with no teachers around.

[Vile Lynn]

That's pretty accurate. Similar story with Tadaaah and A&F.

Not exactly... Tadaaah does FB posts and A&F went to the design dept or another job at GREE, and they both still kept their forum accounts. Even LFizzle still has hers, remember her?

This is the first time I've ever seen a mod banned.

[Sirius]

Hey Guys,

Please keep the forum guidelines in mind when posting. I'm sure we will have more information for folks soon! Thanks!

I was just talking about a situation where a mod becomes useful, and suddenly "moves on". Our so called "developers" don't like them.

[Rodimus]

1Shot is still a mod but he doesn't have the green text anymore as well.

Because they did the layoffs before deleting mod accounts. So they banned them. Really sad and poorly managed company. Certainly doesn't help when micromanaged from Japan as well.

Revenues obviously r down. The original new mgmt that took over funzio promised the world to their owners and managed for very short term results (stat inflation etc). They bought time for new products of which only WON has succeeded. That team quit and r starting their own app company.

You have to wonder how long these games will be around. CC, KA, etc managed for just cash flow

[Vile Lynn]

Yeah, heh, that is the truth! Check out Bolt's last post.

Banning Bolt seems too dramatic.

[bevsxrs]

Now that just sucks!

[Vile Lynn]

No Bolt? No more winners lists being promptly posted. :(

[Vile Lynn]

Oh hi, Sirius! Thanks for posting. :)

We'll be good! Right guys? :cool:

Common Sirius is this your only answer? As an Admin you should know that its no good answer to say please keep your mind with the guidelines this is a joke. And you will have soon more information? You are Admin?! You should know what is going on in the Forum. first thinking, then communication the things and then make the things. But you always do things then customers are asking and then there is no or a bad communication. Think about this.

[Sirius]

Sorry If it came across that way which I do apologize for. I know communication is pretty much the top concern from our players hands down. I just want to reassure folks that we are here (the Team) and things will go on. Just give us a bit of time to sort a few things out and we can go from there.

[Rodimus]

We'll be patiently waiting for answers regarding the state of affairs of the Crime City forum, Sirius. Thanks

[Vile Lynn]

Even though everybody knew Beyomd the Dead was RIP, forum users frantically asked & asked what was going on: it took GREE almost 2 weeks before they officially posted that BtD was being cancelled.

Give Sirius some slack... At least he posted something.

Thanks Sirius! :)

Which type of Company you are? A internet Company right. What is the thing what Internet Companys dont have? Time. The internet is to fast of changes that you have much time. Now we must wait until you sort things. Should not happen but you do it again and again. Invest more in your Communication Department its no Thing that you only have a Moderator. Improve this listen more to customer and btw common a Weekly standard Feedback thread is a joke. Make you Homework and player will be more happy.

[J-manKometh96]

In case you missed it, they just fired their communications department.

[florian999]

Yes thats the way why the should invest more in it then when they fire someone is the department not emtpy

[JakeCullen]

Whoever banned Bolt sure is a Nut...just saying. Seriously though, I somehow feel there's something gree isn't telling us based on the info drought in the forums. But, that's just me I guess. :-)

[Red BD]

I hope it is within the Guidelines to inquire of players of other Gree games if similar stuff is happening in those Forums.

If it violates the rules, I'm just wondering if it violates the rules.

Pretty sure Sirius was referring to the treatment of our favorite pin cushion here on forum. Most of us know his antics in chat apps plus contributions to the forum really are inane.

Things will continue on as normal guys, nothing is going away and if anything, we will be improving in every facet that we can by far as you guys deserve it. If there is anything you folks want me to pass to the teams all around, feel free to let me know.

I'm still waiting for a reply on what happened here. Could be a permissions error gone wrong, but not sure yet. Myself or someone will let you know exactly what happened whenever we get an update.

If Bolt won't be returning, please tell him thank you for all of his work here.
Bolt seemed like a good fit for us & really went above and beyond whenever he could. He is already missed.

And... Is the Raid Boss beta testing still planned for this week?

Yea, it seems like the Community Management team has been laid off.

[Sherod]

Well this sucks!!:mad:, guess its like the old saying...can lead a horse to water but if the well is dry then were all f#%*d with empty black kettles and no pot to smoke!:mad:

Lol a reddit moment?

[Umpa Loompa]

Why do we care so much? Bolt was a nice guy, yes. But the rest of the 'community team' never ever communicated anyway. If they're fired, that's probably the reason why they were fired.

[Vile Lynn]

Soooooooooo..... When is Weasel coming back?

At least one of them actually plays a GREE app.

Perhaps my cagey thing isn't working, so to put it clearly (I hope): are other Community Managers disappearing in other Forums( or perhaps Bolt, etc, worked them as well- if so...?)

[Dipstik]

Overrated. Events are all the same. Prizes aren't really relevant. Just keep the game running without major disruptions, and "communication" becomes kind of unnecessary.

Ok Sirius, I know we have been asking for this for the longest time, and gree seems to think we don't need it!!! if we ask is because we do need/want!!! we are paying customers. when you put out an LTQ, post info on the whole LTQ as it starts, every level, every hit, every prize. most have given up on LTQ because they don't know what to expect. all they know is that it costs gold to finish. maybe some would buy the gold needed if they know how much gold they needed.

on another note. i have been trying to help out with LTB info for Crime city. crime city is pretty easy to guess, but Modern war is not. we would like to get a community admin that actually has these numbers to post LTB info as it comes out as well. base cost, base output. and prizes. again it might make more people buy the gold necessary if they know what they are getting. heck if you don't want to post to everyone, send me the info and ill update the LTB sheet i have going on. a lot of people think it is useful, but in the case of modern war, the base cost keeps changing i don't even know how many building types there are right now!!! latest gold buildings seem to have a new output schedule (Paper mill, hot dog truck, fireworks booth). basically we would like to know what we are buying.

Yup what he said. We used to get given this info a long time ago.

I'm sure Lehman Brothers etc were telling all their clients and employees everything was fine.... right up to when they chucked everyone onto the street and locked the doors. Anyone who buys gold with this uncertainty around is a fool.

For the first time... in, forever... I agree with you.

For what it's worth, it has been fun all. Even those I didn't see eye to eye with, we were fighting the same battles.

But we lost the war.

To answer the original question, it appears he and others were lost their jobs in a RIF. He was not banned in the sense of having done something wrong, or was too helpful to players as some oddly have speculated. It just looks like that was the way someone chose to terminate his moderator access when his employment was terminated, however awkward.

I am kinda surprised he hasn't created an account to mess with GREE. Though I doubt he cares enough too since they fired him. Personally I think the layoffs were a good thing since there is no reason why there should be 1800 people working on their mobile game divison. At most each game they have should have a 50 person team and they have maybe a dozen games

Yeah, because there have been no problems with this game, even with a staff of 1,800 in San Francisco. Getting rid of two thirds of them can only improve matters......right.

Usually any sort of severence pay comes with a clause that would discourage people from doing that sort of thing.

Bolt and the rest are probably hard at work or on their CVs/resumes. Or in a pub somewhere, drowning their sorrows together. But I think Bolt wrote once that he wanted to work in the adult entertainment industry, I wish him well with that.

Yes, most production companies film in Miami, FL. statement is correct, only state now where they can film without condoms.

Guys, that type of discussion isn't made for these forums. I won't ban atm but this is being closed and folks need to note the rules.
