the force they'd need to succesfully run gaia and keep it scammer-free, would probably be around 250-750 mods. I don't think that they'd be able to hire that many, at least not running on just the gaia cash thing. they'd need more money first before they can do anything

You don't pay moderators though.... They volunteer their services.... So money shouldn't be an issue.

Hatake-Sama- Thanks so much for the heads up! I gave the "My Account" a very, very, thorough gleaning and the word "Infractions" appeared nowhere! Huzzah! It must have really simply been a warning, though.

Where I moderated for years, we would send users PMs, take the appropriate measure, (delete posts, remove points/gold), but the list of infractions was known as "annotations" and was completely backend only.

And yes, while I was a "Staff" member, who even helped the development of the system in miniscule ways (Yes, the code is a friend of mine's homebrew that is available on sourceforge), I have been paid nothing, in fact, I even made a couple of paypal donations here and there and offered my own webserver to help handle the load if need be. The forums are just a handful of people above a ghost town, but at one point circa 2000/2001 we had 100,000 user accounts, not all signed in at once thank G-d, but it was still significant.

maybe they should use their gaia cash and the money they get from their sponsors to hire a task force to take care of what actually needs taken care of. Then have the volenteer mods as well to kinda help.

dragonlover- I know you mean well, but my guess is you haven't worked in retail/had a job/been in business for very long, personally. It would be at the very bottom of Gaia's list to actually HIRE a moderation team. The money they get goes towards servers, enough to handle the loads not just from the 100,000 users on simultaneously, but also for their MMO, zOMG. The servers, and the rent for their office space, and trust me, the San Francisco-Peninsula-San Jose area is THE most expensive area in the COUNTRY to live in and/or rent and/or have a business. Their little cubicled office could probably rent a two story almost mansion elsewhere in the country. I know your suggestions mean well, but they're just not very realistic T_T

Okairi-nasai, Poppet. I'm not sure what exactly you missed... the conversations change as the different people come in and out. Some oldbie/regulars... then like five new nekkid people... then the dead zone time. Uhm... Inu/Mori finally completed Mori's outfit. That was excting. Now it'll be even easier to tell whom we're speaking to at the moment. You know, it's actually kind of funny that I have no qualms whatsoever with the different personalities online, but if the guy was to try that irl, he'd be getting ALOT of strange looks and disapproval, probably.

Poppet- I'm actually about to try to go back to sleep. It's about 6:30 AM my time, and I've been awake since circa 3:30. My sleeping (and everything else) schedule is so messed up I'm even hesitant to call it a schedule... more like... randomness. -.-
