The reality is that this forum does not need mods. SC brings in enough cash per day to hire employees for the sole purpose of being mods rather than utilizing players. SC, you should look at doing this...

Step 1. Do some research
Step 2. Realize that you've made a fool of yourself
Yeah sure, let's hire Mods that don't know about the game and don't interact with the community, I am sure that will work because as of now the current mod system doesn't work /Sarcasm.
Why hire people when there are those that will do it for free?
LOL
trolololololoooool
The current mod system works exceptionally well. Actual members of the community are chosen to help represent and moderate that same community. This way we have people who actually understand members in those positions of power.
If you were to hire moderators, you would lose all of that community experience and invite bias.
Your right mp, the current mod system really does not work. I certainly do not care what a mod has to say about issues and would rather hear directly from someone at SC. In my opinion or what i visualize is that a mod is nothing more than a player living in his parents basement. They should go out and get a real job vs being a parasite on society. I suspect i will get blasted for that, however, thats my opinion and in the U.S. we are still free enough to have opinions for now...Quote:

Here it is good to have some high experienced Players that volunteer for mods and who says that they do not get some Money. I think it is more useful having a high th10 Player from champs as mod (or even a Youtuber like Daddy) than hiring a new employee that has never played the game and only did some cummunity Support for hay day or boom beach that get a gemmed max th10 account for work with filled with lots of decoration.
@beachbum: So you think hiring some low cost students for a week end job and Show them how to dump loot threads will give more Information? A community Manager in most cases does not create Information. He only passes them up and down from the developers (for example the sneak peeks). The reason why we get so few Information is because Supercell has a very restrictive Information policy which is common for most big companies. I was beta tester in a Microsoft game and I can till you it is much worse there.
The moderators have a constant chat going on between themselves and the staff, so the answers that they give nearly 100% of the time are the exact same answers that you would get from a staff member.Quote:

You might not get blasted so much if you explain why it doesn't work rather than just insulting the people concerned.Quote:
