I don't know if it's just me, but every time I see a speedhacker and don't feel like frapsing, encoding, uploading, and filling out a report; I decide to do a //gmlist check, and never once, has there been a GM online.

Let's face it - most GM's on gamez keep the GM status just to have it, they don't feel fully obliged to actually do their work. Some GM's can't help it; they have IRL issues or they have schoolwork. If you have IRL issues and you cannot log on, you should not be a GM if you aren't going to do anything. If the staff feels that demoting a GM could do too much harm than good, make a new forum user type named, "Retired GM" or such, and let them still have access to the GM section.

I propose that Karissa re-opens the GM application form and searches for a GM (or GM's) that would be SUPER active. I'm talking about a no-lifer that would stay logged in as GM for at least 6 hours a day (no offense intended.) There are people like that - we just need to look for them.

I don't see the harm in opening a thread like this, all I want is to actually have active GM's to log on, I can't imagine many players feel any different.

P.S: I know how the community of gamez is, some players just feel that something like this is never going to get approved, and decide to vote "No." We can get anything done, we just need to stick together and fight for what is right.

P.P.S: I proposed a GM being demoted because Karissa may have a guideline she uses, and she only allows so many GM's at a time. If you feel no GM's should be demoted then say so.

Yes - I agree, Siel is in some need of more active GMs, but to have a requirement in order to apply of " You can't have a life to be part of the GM team" is a tidbit too extreme.

How old are you? Im guessing one who's under the age of 16 because you NEED a life to pay for electricity and the internet so you may play the game. You NEED a life to be able to purchase a decent computer so the game can play well without lag. Everything boils down to money to do such things. They need to eat, we don't need Carl getting sued for killing someone for starving themselves or something..Im sorry dear, but living off mommy and daddy is not the way of life.

You would be saying such if you were working and had a life to earn the money so you can DO all these great things.

Not to mention, Have you tried looking to mature, experienced person who doesn't abuse power, or have an attitude to willingly do this job without getting paid??? I highly doubt it....

The GMs we have now, are doing wonderful... But the only thing I'll agree with, is that Siel can use more GMs.

FYI- If a GM is invisible during your time in game playing, doesn't mean they are invisible the rest of the time while they are GM'n.

Thing is shes never, ever, wanted to respond to that. I don't know why. Even when I was a head-GM and someone she'd listen to more often than the average staff member, I could never get inactives fired. Alente could not, Albull could not. Its an issue that really needs to be fixed.

Also to me, inactives simply mean people who are literally inactive and theres no way of disputing it. I would never accuse someone of being inactive just because I don't see them on //gmlist, but its easy to tell that some people just aren't doing their job and have given up interest without formally leaving.

In any case, I hope things will end up changing sometime..If I had ever been in a position to choose & demote staff I swear things would be polished up, but then again I'm a hardass and I would fire half of you (just being honest, don't take offense to it - also that doesn't include most of you posting in this thread) for not meeting perfect expectations xD, but its not like I ever had that title or ever will so no reason thinking about it. Regardless of who does it, someone needs to end up manning up and firing people that aren't good enough, or that are visibly inactive, and promote those who show loyalty and dedication, immediately.

Perfect Expectations?? No one is perfect, not even you, yourself.

No offense, Edi. You were a good HGM but you expected way to much to be handed to you as for responsibilities and resigned because Karissa felt it wasn't time to hand those responsibilities over to you.

Need to be flexible in order to be CEO of any company. If you expect things to be perfect, your setting yourself up for failure.
