I have to say this is absolutely outrageous.. people are so jealous of CL_'s that they have to make up rumors about them.. it's disgusting :sad2: That's all this is.. someone is jealous of a community of people, that are only different from others because they have a few extra letter in their name, and a badge..
 
Oh my!
This thread has made me extremely sad.

Why is such a HUGE group of players being grouped together??

NOT all CL's have HOST staff on their friends list (I don't)

Some of us have also been on since 'Day 1'--- And some of us (just like a lot of DIS players) do know the 'in's and out's of the game' - I am definitely not saying that I do - I just don't have enough time to be on enough! BUT - I DO try to help other players with what I DO know.

And for the record I very RARELY get into a HOST game or VMK staff room - I just don't have the patience to sit and click over and over - just to disconnect in the line up. (I have enough stress in my 'real' life)

(not spell checked OR grammar checked on PURPOSE :teeth: )

That makes you far more lucky than I! I've yet to make it into a host game or this weekend's trade event in a very long time.
Making assumptions is a very bad habit. Starting rumors with those assumptions is hurtful and wrong. You made a statement that CL's have an unfair advantage. How do you think CL's feel when we read posts like this? Oh, and there are MANY, believe me!
It's not cool to assume CL's get anything more than the CL_ in front of their names and a Mickey Sorcerer badge. That is all we get.


Im sorry CL_'s
 

off topic but how do you quote from other threads and websites i want to quote something to put on here

on topic: i also want to be a CL so badly and i wont even be able to have staff as friends as my list is full although i might be able to delete ppl. and maybe the reason they are in early is bc they were helping with the room as i did my research and CLs are sometimes called by staff to help but im not saying thats always the case. if there not helping i guess they do have trouble. even if they enter through the friends list the room might still be full.
 
here are some myths and rumors about CLs:
CL Stories
Do you think you know what's true and what's not about Community Leaders? We'll see...




Claim: CLs don't have to play games to get credits.
Status: False.
Sometimes we think CLs have it better than normal players in every possible way. From that, stories have been started about CLs getting free stuff, free credits, etc. None of this is true. But it IS partially true that they don't have to play games to get credits. They can also visit NPCs and sell furniture, just like everyone else.



Claim: CLs know everything about the game.
Status: False.
While CLs do know much about the game, they do NOT know things like the release of certain pins (Unless this information has been revealed already), when new lands are coming out, and many other release dates.



Claim: CLs have booting powers in all rooms.
Status: False.
Many believe this is true, even though it isn't talked about much. That's because most people think that since CLs are leaders in the game and keep the peace, they can boot players out of a room if they're bad. This is not true. They can only boot players out of their own room, like normal players.



Claim: CLs are staff members.
Status: False.
CLs are just normal people at home/parks that love VMK and are on often. They do not work for Disney in real life, even though they have something in the front of their name. Though this is very common belief, it is not true.



Claim: CLs give out free stuff.
Status: Sometimes.
CLs are not required to give anything to anybody, but every now and then a CL or a normal player will give a new player or friend something free to welcome them to VMK. But, you should NOT ask for free stuff from anyone. It is annoying, and people don't like to be nagged for their stuff, especially rare and quest items.



Claim: CLs have supernatural powers.
Status: There's no way to know.
While most don't, no one has never proven stuff like ESP, ghosts, ancient slime creatures from outer space, etc. to be false (Or true for that matter), we'll probably never know.



Claim: CLs will make you popular.
Status: False.
There are a lot of community leaders out there, around a hundred, so if you know one, it's not like you're going to be famous just for knowing them. Just like if you were friends with a cast member, it's not like you're going to be the most famous CL ever. I mean, do you know the names of even half the people on a staff member's list? Didn't think so.



Claim: CLs help with events.
Status: True.
Many community leaders help around with the events. The first event in which this was featured was the Halloween Maze events, where CL's had rooms involved, and CL_Poseidon, CL_Nedakh, and CL_Enderz and many others worked endlessly for people. Since then, CLs have been involved and been able to help with almost every event thereafter.

it is those beliefs which really bother me Nat - many of the newbies and younger players do believe those things like "you can trust a CL" - we see it on posts here "oh, you can trust a CL, have them act as a go between in trades" - that scares me, because if people belive that, then there are alot of CLs who have gotten free stuff. Not every CL is trustworthy, although, like the average population of VMK, most are. But there is always that percentage of unscrupulous people who will steal your stuff, and CLs are no exception. HOWEVER: with that CL tag comes a responsibility of sorts. If someone asks a CL for help, they should do it if they can - NOT charge people for help like I have seen CLs do before, not call people dumbo and beach like I have seen as well. That CL tag means you SHOULD be held to a higher standard and if you break one of those higher standards, you should loose the tag.

And that is MY pont for the day. CLs are people too, and not all people are good.

Exactly true. We are people too. If you witness ANYONE trying to scam another player, CL or not, please REPORT them. If you notice a CL who seems to be doing more than his/her fair share to help someone, remember there is a link on the contact menu to leave feedback about a community leader. Reporting CL's works both ways. No, we get nothing from vmk, but I think vmk should know who's actually doing a great job at being a CL, as well as who's not. :)

Very good point, I will have to remember that the next time I see a CL go above and beyond as well as the times I have seen them act unscrupulously (although I have not seen one act against VMK values, per se, and I have seen them do a great job too in the past)
