I'd do it for free.

General Discussion Started Last reply 11 posts
If I were allowed a restricted GM status and follow guidelines instructed and enforced by a few NCSoft employees, I'd handle the bots.

I'd go full into it, on my evenings as I usually have plenty of free time. I'd observe, I'd investigate and terminate any bots for free.

I want to know how many people would also fall in line with this.

5 Days minimum a week during peak hours.
I've given my time to charity for free. I've fed the poor for free. I've gone door to door and helped get out the word about vaccination and preventative healthcare for free. I've given blood for free. I've cleaned up parks once riddled by homeless drug users for free.

I have done many, many more things in an effort to improve my community and the world around me. The REAL world. Give me a worthwhile cause and I'll sign on.

But I will not waste my time clearing bots for free. I play this game purely for entertainment. The minute that it ceases to be fun, I find something better to do.
I don't get paid by anyone from NCSoft. There is no conspiracy here. No behind the curtains action.

Vali and Juji are forum admins and are active and usually awake at the wheel. You'll be gone if you don't calm down.

The previous thread about the word "toons" is gone, in fact. I just wish they were so overzealous about other things too, but meh, there isn't a perfect world... :>

Well that one I actually reported. I generally don't report anyone or their posts,but this person was just going to keep it up in every thread. The forum admins aren't responsible for the entire company and I felt it was pointless to insult them and then spam the forums.

ETA: I actually like Juji and Vali for being laid back on the forums, I don't want to see that ruined by some troll kids.
Oh, I see, well that entertained me for some minutes, especially because I can't see the link between toons and bots... I mean, it's not like you're calling names on a disabled person, isn't that right?

I was amused for 15 minutes, I admit it lol. I've used the term "toon" for years. It doesn't have any meaning to "bot" at all. I agree with you.
If only moderation on forum would be less efficient than moderation ingame

I'm not entirely sure what you meant by I need to calm down. I'm perfectly calm and I've been here since Prelude day 1.

I have multiple accounts and this one became my less favorable one which is why you'd see my join date is so late.

In no way shape or form am I trying to sleight the company that is producing and improving this wonderful game I've been part of since 2004. I'm just showing interest in preserving and improving the community in an act to help others and them in the long run.

As for the derogatory post directly beneath mine, implying that I'm over-involved. I'm injured, I tore my ACL and have had to take a year off work simply because I couldn't stand or afford the proper surgery. I did grunt labor in a boat yard, sanding and painting. In the mean time, I've had more free time available and have resumed work and am taking it slow. I'm the type of person who would actually benefit from charity however I give all I can to the people I can. You know nothing about me and are already insulting me.
