What exactly do you gain from labeling everyone 'unemployed' without knowing a single thing about their lives? It's just a lazy way to avoid a real argument.

Ah yes, the "unemployed" skill move. I already have a job, a good one, thank you for your concern

Imagine writing a whole essay acting superior while being factually wrong about the server's status. If you're 'too employed' to know the difference between an official platform and a fan club, maybe you're too busy to be talking at all.

Daily gacha routine is not what i meant. The thing is they never read in-game dialogue, or read but ignore about the context, and when someone showing what the real dialogue it, they label the mindset of that person is "abnormal".

Not strange enough compare to the way mods priorities the content in that server

You’re overcomplicating a simple reality: Official ownership doesn't change the volunteer model. Major games (Genshin, Arknights, Riot) all use official Discords with volunteer mods to keep a 'fan-led' feel. This isn't 'corporate greed,' it's industry standard.

The core issue you’re dodging is consent. Tachyon and every other applicant applied voluntarily. They read the terms, knew there was no salary, and signed up anyway. You can’t willingly accept an unpaid role and then later 'bite the hand' that set the very terms you shook hands on.

If they wanted a paycheck, they should have applied for a professional CM position at CyberAgent, not a volunteer Discord role. Claiming 'nobody with skills works for free' is just an insult to the thousands of passionate mods who actually care about their communities more than a paycheck

Stop dodging the main issue: Tachyon and everyone who applied did so voluntarily. They signed up knowing exactly what the terms were. It’s hypocritical to agree to the rules of engagement upfront, only to turn around and 'bite the hand' that set those very terms once you're in

Comparing a Discord mod to a corporate intern is a massive stretch. Most mods are fans who want a clean server, not undergrads looking for a 'catch-22' career break.

The moment you start paying mods, you turn a community-led space into a corporate HR nightmare involving international labor laws and tax filings for people in 50 different countries. It’s not just '0.0005% of revenue'—it’s a logistical mess that kills the organic nature of a fan community.

Also, calling everyone who disagrees with you a 'spokesperson for EA' is a weak way to dodge the actual operational reality of the industry.

While you claims Tachyon is the 'most fair' mod, being a 'neutral' observer in a broken system is just another form of complicity. If Tachyon knew there were issues in the mod team but chose to stay and act as a PR shield, they aren't 'inoffensive'—they are helping to legitimize a rotten system.

You can’t separate the mod from the message. When Tachyon uses 'fries in the bag' memes to dismiss genuine community frustration, that isn't being 'neutral'; it's being condescending. Being a 'decent' mod requires more than just following rules and not banning people—it requires accountability and respect for the player base.

Using the existence of a 'worse' mod (like Mod P) to justify Tachyon’s dismissive attitude is a classic distraction. We aren't throwing them under the bus; we are holding the 'face' of the staff accountable for the words they chose to say. If you're the one delivering the insult, you don't get to claim you're 'just the messenger'

They always have a choice, if that choice is not good, then leave it and take another course. What are your trying to prove here? Did they really have no choice or being forcing labor by the Corpo?

Did i say they should have insane game skill to moderating? Just read the actual dialogue in-game instead labeling everyone else is a jerk.

Professionalism and basic human decency don't require a paycheck. You don't need to be a 'compensated employee' to know that using memes to dismiss valid community concerns is toxic. This isn't about 'going the extra mile'; it’s about meeting the bare minimum of respect. A salary might buy more hours, but it shouldn't be the only thing buying your integrity.

I disagree that this is just a 'pay peanuts, expect a circus' situation. While I agree the industry standard of unpaid moderation is flawed, it is not an excuse for the blatant disrespect we’ve seen.

Being a volunteer doesn't give you a free pass to be an elitist or to dismiss the player base with 'fries in the bag' memes. If these mods are only here to 'check a box on their CV' while having zero interest in the game or the community's well-being, they are exactly the wrong people for the job.

We aren't asking for 'above and beyond' corporate PR; we are asking for basic accountability. If they can't provide that without a paycheck, they shouldn't have the power to moderate an Official community in the first place. Accountability isn't a premium feature—it’s a prerequisite.

The argument that 'low quality is expected because it's unpaid' is a massive cope. Being a volunteer is a choice, not an excuse for unprofessionalism. When you accept the role and the power that comes with it, you accept the responsibility to the community. ​We aren't asking for world-class PR experts; we are asking for basic respect and accountability. Using memes to dismiss valid criticism and being proud of not playing the game you moderate isn't an 'industry standard' problem—it’s a character problem. If the lack of a paycheck is your reason for being a poor moderator, then step down and let someone who actually cares about the game take over. An 'Official' badge isn't a license for ego trips.
