Steelman as community moderator thread?

[Speed ump]

I know I saw and posted to a thread that stated this earlier this afternoon, now I don't see it, nor see my post to it. Obviously deleted, but why? Was this some secret that got posted by accident?

[Jg48]

I was thinking the same. Gree is always being secret.

It was a troll thread by 1Shot who lost his moderator job after throwing a hissy fit when GREE stopped paying him 240 gold/mo.

[Speed ump]

Ah, makes sense then.

[MAD NUGGETT]

That 240 gold must have been breaking them.

Thank you. I can't say what I did when I learned of your revelation, but crying wasn't involved. LOL

[HellRaizer]

are none of the mod getting their 240 gold (or equiv) anymore?

Hmm, four, let's call it 10 mods at 240 gold equals 2,400 gold each month.
Stop giving away the mellow, yellow product a savings of 2,400 gold can immediately be realized.
Why, that's about $110/month in real coin, plus saleable product.
No gold for you.

I speculate our former CMs had everything to do with the "volunteer" player moderators getting paid.
They're gone, pay gone; hissy fit, mod gone. Only 2 left.

Did the player mods get paid from the beginning of the program or was it an afterthought, requested later?

[HellRaizer]

Yeah we got paid 240 per month after the first successful month (or equiv in other games). We would normally chat to Clem on the "Slack" app, if it was forgotten.. So i assume she would tap someone on the shoulder..

In fairness 240, was really nothing special, when you think how little it can get. When I killed off my HLP and was still mod, I didn't even bother asking them to top up my mini...

edit: wasn't an afterthought

[Vile Lynn]

Yeah, 240 isn't much, but it's definitly better than nothing.

The program thread never mentions getting paid. I thought it was completely voluntary until recent events: Clementine wanted us to believe it was all voluntary from reading her posts in response to our reservations about the program being good for the forums. Hindsight is 20/20.

I respectfully beg to differ about the program being successful in any way at any time, especially in the Crime City forums. Over-moderation is a terrible thing, but the catty drama they created was hilarious! The MW forums were generally ignored and spared from their wrath.

[J-manKometh96]

Lol. If MW was ignored, I'd hate to see how bad CC was. Oi vey.

[HellRaizer]

yeah, i took a different tactic than the others.. 1. Killed off true troll threads.. i.e. outright swearing and naming calling from the offset, 2. spam and 3. then mostly kept raising community issues with Clem and Relic.. I wouldn't get involved in anything else, because that meant siding sides of some sort .. i know the others tried to get involved in touchy topics which would always create tension... i think that while i was around, because i was the "MW" guy the others generally didn't need to even look at the MW stuff.. i in turn didn't really get involved with CC or KA..

lets face it thou, all the forums need are Gree employees actually experienced from the player point of view of the games to be able to assist.

[Vile Lynn]

haha, exactly! It was really bad and so completely unnecessary.

One guy got an infraction for posting a "Yo Mama" joke about his own mom. :rolleyes:

Wait, I thought that was SUP...

Totally agree! And, I liked your style of moderating.

[HellRaizer]

i'm assuming there were problems with the ability to remain impartial.. kinda glad i didn't see it going on :)

[Captain Steelman]

Did I miss something....? I guess there must be another Steelman around here....

Just as the chair was entertaining nominations for forum president, you were nominated from the floor.

I voted for you.

[David Steelman]

There is. Remember me? LoL

[Captain Steelman]

There is. Remember me? LoL

Get back to your CS:GO.... Cant stand you cry about getting banned for staying AFK too long....

[Agent Orange]

Yup, or just plain bad/misinformation which typically made bad situations worse. You have been the only PM that did a great job and it was a huge loss when you quit. Albeit I see why and I would have as well.

[King little fruit fly]

C'mon, people, 240 gold nuggets is nothing compared to what the beta testers used to get.:rolleyes:

[Vile Lynn]

Enlighten us. What did they get?

[HellRaizer]

I was a beta tester as well :)

Technically still am.. But never bother now

[Speed ump]

Did we get anything for that? I don't keep up with prizes at all, so really have no idea.

[redvenge99]

Lots n lots of gold

[Speed ump]

That's not the GREE I know. We must be playing different games

[crazeejay]

Yeah sup has their own "special" way to get unlimited gold

[Speed ump]

Yes we do crazy, jealous?

[crazeejay]

Nope not jealous of hacks
