No, it's all volunteer work.

Unless it's Shishka, who works as an aritst at Bungie, but he's the only exception.

Do they actually work at Bungie?


No, they're unpaid members of the comunity who were selected for their good deeds and not breaking rules.

The only one who is a bungie employee is Shishka, he's now back on the bungie payroll.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

Are you sure you know all the rules? Because flaming is against the rules.

You may think you do not need them, but others do. They keep the forums clean of jerks and idiots. At least show a little respect.

The moderators work hard to keep this place clean and make it better for all of us. They're all polite, helpful members of the community. The least you could do is be respectful.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

I do believe that I am quoting TGP here, "You don't ask to be in mod-club, mod-club asks to be in you". Something like that. Basically whenever Achronos feels like dishing out some moder-doms, he picks the best and brightest of the community, and they endure a horrible unspeakable innitiation process. I heard it involves bananas, screaming, and hippo-licking. However, I wouldn't ask to be a moderator, since I've been told that pretty much eliminates you from ever being one. They chose those who don't seek the power to wield it. Does that answer it for you?

I think isohappy666 was referring specifically to Emo Tears, who has been playing "I'd love to be a Moderator." I understand where he's coming from, the moderating should be left to the moderators.

I think I know where Emo Tears is coming from as well, though. Apparently he was a spammer back in the day... and he'd like people to know he's changed his ways. He's just being a little zealous.

Currently Shishka has been employed by Bungie as a contract worker, the rest of us are just regular joes… And we do it because we love the community, enough love to do it for free… sometimes even we question it.

I'm suprised you do it for free sometimes. That's a lot of time out of your day. Time that could be spent finding ways to make money. Scams, overtime, whatever you like. Although I hear Recon managed to find a way to scam members and blacklist them at the same time.

By the way, Emo Tears was making an attempt to be a Forum Cop (I don't feel like explaining it, so just look in the past pages for it). And Ish is right, he got overzealous.

Question it? Sure. I've been moderating for 4 1/2 hours straight, because I've been the only moderator online. You know how tedious that is? IRC blinking, MSN blinking, GoogleTalk blinking, Yahoo blinking, PMs blinking, ALL THROWING LINKS AT ME TO LOCK.

It's the price we pay for actually caring... I mean, who else is going to do it? Where else would you find another Shishka, another Maka? I guess it takes a lot of heart to do our job for nothing, but I guess it takes a lot of heart to care too.

Well you can always use it as a pick up line at a party.

"I once blacklisted thirteen people for spamming and flaming in New Mombassa in just one day."

The girls would be hanging off you Yoozel.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

He doesn't need a pick up line. Your mom is already hanging off him.

pwned, verily.

Anyway, while I may be the only ninja being paid by Bungie, I'm not paid for moderating. This is, and always will be, something I do for free to help the community.
