Do CLs ever go incognito?

Front - your entire argument only reinforces what I said - it does not work - you basically said that anytime you are signed on you are fair game, and if people ask you questions, no matter what you are doing uyou have to help. That is pure and total garbage for teh way the system is set up. Add that to the fact that most of the people that WANT to be CLs do NOT WANT to help anyone and you have a recipe for disaster. And yes, disaster has happened.

I know there are many people who abuse the position of being a CL. I have seen it way too much. But I stick by to what I think a CL's job is...and that is to help whenever you can. I enter VMK and no matter what I am doing, I always answer a question that is in regards to VMK. I was hosting a game of mine the other night and someone asked a question about where to buy a certain hat. I took time out to explain where the hat is obtained. I know I could have just ignored the question and continued with my game, but I feel that as a CL it is not only a responsibilty but also a requirement to answer these questions. I applied to be a CL and I was accepted. I am playing by the rules and will continue to.

I completely understand that many do not do this and are only a CL to have the letters before their vmk name and the little blue badge in their signature. But I would also hope that there are some who are dedicated leaders.

I understand the system isn't flawless, but I am going to try my best to keep as much of what I can in tact. I want the CL system to work...I don't want it to fail (though I see that in some cases it most definitely has). I am a CL and while as such, I will do my best to make sure I am the best CL I can be.

I am not saying community leaders can't have mules. Heck, I have a mule that I made down at WDW this past July. What I'm saying is that making a mule to "get away" from the questions is sort of defeting the purpose of being a community leader to begin with.

So, if I understand this correctly, you feel it's ok for a community leader to have a mule as long as they use it according to your personal rules. From your other posts, it seems like you feel that a community leader who uses a mule is escaping from their community leader responsibilities yet you are allowed to use a mule. You didn't state what you use your mule for, but how is it any different from a community leader wanting to take some time off from the constant barrage of questions? It's still taking a break from being a community leader as far as I can tell.

Personally, I think it is just fine for a community leader to use a mule for pretty much any reason. For those who do it to take a break from having to answer tons of questions, I say Great! Everyone needs a mental health break at some point. I'd rather have a grumpy community leader play a mule than be curt or rude to another player. None of the community leaders who posted here have indicated they don't answer questions when they are playing their other characters. They seem to be playing like regular players. I've seen how having CL_ in your title turns a player into a question magnet. VMK hasn't instituted a system for CLs to be able to take a break so kudos to those who realize they aren't feeling up to performing their CL duties and smartly take a break.

An interesting change to the CL program would be some sort of method for going off duty. Maybe something along the lines of the furnishing mode option for rooms could be implemented. You could choose to be on duty (the badge and CL_ would be displayed) or off duty (the badge and CL_ would not be displayed). Of course, off duty CLs would still have to adhere to VMK values and exhibit the same behaviours that allowed them to become CLs.

I agree, to a point. (Btw, there is an ongoing debate about this very thing on another fan site.) The CL program is something that is needed on the game. Why? There is simply not enough staff to handle answering all of the players questions and moderate the text and approve names and on and on... I think the biggest part of the problem is the title. Too many people think that being a CL equals some sort of status within VMK. It shouldn't mean anything other than a CL is someone you can trust to help you. Unfortunately, this is often NOT the case.
I am a CL. I've been a CL for well over a year and I've seen some of the best CL's leave the program for various reasons. I've also seen some players become CL's that clearly should not BE CL's. There should be a better way of screening potential leaders. There should also be a better way of titling them. I don't feel we are "leaders" per se, but more along the lines of guides or helpers. Too often I have "stalkers" who think I am somehow closer to staff and have some special powers on VMK. It's even gone to the point of being harassed off the game, on the fan sites. Until other players understand that we (CL's) are just like them, this will not change.
How are we just like regular players? Do you really want to know the best kept secret of a CL? Read the Values, read the newsletters, play the games and learn your way around the kingdom. That's it. When someone has a question, answer to the best of your knowledge. Yes, this means admitting there are things you just don't know.
I am an adult. No, I won't say how long I've been an adult. LOL I don't see a problem with having kids help other kids, as long as they've been proven trustworthy. That's the whole problem. We need to change the way players see CL's. Any suggestions on how to accomplish that? I'd love to hear them, as I'm sure the staff would love to as well.

I can't count the times, people wanted me on there friend list because for some reason it puts you at a higher power or something to have a CL an a friend list. I don't anyway consider myself at some greater power than a Non-CL player, i have to get credits like everyone else does, i have to buy things like everyone else does. I'll admit it, i play on a play mule. Right now my computer here at school is kinda slow for vmk, and i can't respond to questions quick enough for some people. People get mad if i don't give them there full attention right away. I try to tell them but they walk off in a storm.

I also agree there are some CLs, who shouldn't be CLs. I know there were CL's who got banned and then magically appeared as CLs when they got back? Isn't breaking a rule, is breaking a rule? Though, i know there may be some things that happen and could have been a misunderstanding, but there is still some people, who broke the rules, and still pulled it off of coming back as a CL.

I came to a whole other conclusion from reading what that girl said. If the girl was really a CL and was on a side, why tell anyone? That would defeat the purpose of being on a side wouldn't it? I think that girl was pretending to be a CL for the attention and using 'undercover' as a really bad cover story for her actions. She'll get reported no doubt and I'm sure VMK won't be kind to her for it.

Ok my last post was a done really quickly because i would been late to a class, and class is more important than vmk

Yes, since the beginning of the CL program, it has always been run crappy. i felt like it was a last mintue idea to solve the over amount the questions that players were asking, mainly simple questions. Staff couldn't even walk into a room without being bombarded with questions. I think they really never thought about the pros and cons, or what will happen in the shoes (or flips ) of the CLs. I do give them a pat on the back, after laying down the set rules of vmk, letting CLs having staff on there list, knowing that probably a CL would follow, help with questions. Also a good idea that there would be no "payment", i guess you would say like virtual items (but there is always under table doings), to not try to be a CL for the wrong reasons. Though i see really no other thought process in the program.
You probably wonder why I joined up, if i think there is flaws. Well i did send in my app. before there was probably more than 200 CLs, so the flaws really didn't show yet and I thought VMK actually wanted the players to feel like they are needed and wanted in vmk. There wasn't alot of happenings going on, and it would be something new to experince on vmk. So i said, what the heck, i'll join up. Well, i think, i sent in july, and got accepted in sept. Yes, in the beginning the players thought you were staff and got paid and stuff, i don't remember how many times i explain that, but i understand it was confusing. Then, the OMG, IT'S A LEADER happened, and we were all like rare items, and if you didn't had us on the friend list, you were worthless, or something.... Then when events happens, and as CLs, mainly thinking we are suppose to help with the events and so on. I knew many CLs how were booted from event rooms, and also only a select few were asked to help, at the earlier events. The only actual event i felt like i helped at was that one event where there was like clues each day and we sat and explain to players what to do.
Why i am still a leader?, because hopefully making some sort of difference. Even if it was a small difference and i like helping people! But sometimes, helping people just is frustrating. Even though your suppose to be like a grown up type person, but some of the questions are asked is put on the VMK homepage for a reason. Is it that difficult to read? if you can read my little bubbles above my head, you can read the info on the homepage!

I came to a whole other conclusion from reading what that girl said. If the girl was really a CL and was on a side, why tell anyone? That would defeat the purpose of being on a side wouldn't it?

it is just like the, " i am a staff and give you don't give me your stuff i will ban you!". good times...

 

[Tiinkerbelle]

I don't think there is a problem with CL's so much. It's more staff. Yesterday I was in the plaza with my friend and this guest comes into the room screaming profanity, and saying she is looking for a girl. Hey it's a free country to like who you want, but kids play this game. You can curse all you like in life, but leave it off the game. Anyways, after reporting this staff sent me a message saying there is nothing wrong with what she is doing/saying and that I should review the rules again?? Since when did VMK add using profanity as an OK to do.

yeah but then she turned her story and accused me of pretending to be a CL and I got a warning in the room about it.

...all because I called her out on it. kids these days...

I don't think that creating a mule is bad. I think that creating a mule to "escape" questions is bad. If a person figured the responsibilty of being a community leader was going to be an easy one with people only asking questions when it was a good time for the leader, then I think the person was sadly mistaken. Any player can answer questions, but it is the job of a community leader to always be there. If a person is feeling grumpy or a little annoying of questions, then he or she can log off of vmk. I have been a CL since August 2005 and I know many many people who are also CLs. Neither myself or them are being asked questions every moment spent in vmk. I don't feel there is need to "take a break" from CL time. Everyone who is a community leader basically said that they have the time and willingness to help out in vmk. To create a mule to avoid questions is basically hypocritical. People are not forced to login to vmk. If a person feels he or she cannot successfully answer any questions while in vmk, he or she does not have to login.

Personally, I think it is just fine for a community leader to use a mule for pretty much any reason. For those who do it to take a break from having to answer tons of questions, I say Great!

If someone applies to be a leader, they are willing to answer questions. Why then create a mule to get away from questions to only then answer questions on the mule? The argument seems to be that people are creating mules to get away from the questions. That is what I don't agree with. If a community leader has a mule and still answers questions while on that mule, I have nothing to disagree with. That isn't creating a mule to get away from questions. Like I said before, if someone needs a "mental" break from the questions, why did the person apply to be a leader? I hope people aren't getting the idea that being a leader is easy and simply a way to get the two letters before their names. It is difficult. People should understand that when applying and if they don't feel they will be able to take that, don't apply. Also, if the questions do get so overwhelming and people are in need of a break, simply logout. Though, from all my time as a leader, I have had plenty of time to hang out with friends, play games and still answer all the questions I have. I also see this with plenty other leaders. The CL position is for those who can deal with the questions. If you still want to play VMK without the questions being asked, don't apply. Simple as that.

Please don't get me wrong here. I don't think that leaders should be sitting in a room doing nothing but answering questions, oh gosh no. I am ONLY disagreeing with leaders who create a mule to get away from the questions. Leaders shouldn't be trying to get away from them, but rather going towards them.

Or they can just log in as another character...Front, while I understand these are your feelings I am also feeling that you are putting other CL's down for playing "mules" and no one should be made to feel they are less than someone else because they feel like a break!

Ah, no, let me clarify myself, lol.

What I meant was not that you cannot do anything other than help, I'm just saying that creating a mule to get away from helping others is the best reason. We all know that upon filling out and sending the community leader application, we are basically signing a contract that says we are to dedicate our game play to the assisting of other players. We don't have to go out and look for people to help, we just carry on with our regular game play and if by chance a player is confused or of needing help, we help.

You can't really compare VMK staff members to community leaders because let's face it, staff members have it more tough than any community leader. They are doing work on and off vmk about vmk and they can't always go to a game or walk around vmk without a crowd following them and begging to know what is going to happen in vmk. Community leaders get asked a ton of questions, I know, I'm a leader and there have been many times were I would help many many people at a time and deal with rude players and players who simply could not understand and asked the same question over and over. I know being a community leader is often times difficult, but I honestly don't believe it is anywhere near as difficult as staff have it. I am able to play a game of pirates, walk around vmk, create rooms and do a ton of things all the other players can do. The only difference between the "regular" members and myself (and other leaders) is that we are obligated to answer any question asked regarding vmk that we possibly can.

Staff members work for vmk. Their job is vmk. Unlike some of us who use vmk as a time of "relax" or to just have fun.

What I meant in my first post was that if you cannot spend your time helping others when you are on vmk, it isn't necessary to become a community leader. "Regular" members can help in just the same way. Being a community leader doesn't mean choosing when you want to help in the game and when you don't want to help. If you only wanted to help periodically during your game play, being a "regular" player is just fine, no need to apply for the leader position.

I am not saying community leaders can't have mules. Heck, I have a mule that I made down at WDW this past July. What I'm saying is that making a mule to "get away" from the questions is sort of defeting the purpose of being a community leader to begin with.

It is a responsibilty, being a community leader, not a job like the staff have. Being a community leader doesn't soak every minute of your time in vmk. I bet every leader out there will be able to say that while on the leader account, he or she was able to play games and talk to others just as any player would. Staff members cannot do that. So I don't see how comparing staff to having mules to community leaders having mules is relavent.

Wow, I must have missed that contract this is what VMK says about CL's

" Community Leaders are expierenced and enthusiastic players who help out in VMK. A community leader can answer some of your questions about the game and may sometimes organize fun events. For help with a serious matter, contact VMK staff members."

I think you ae backtracking and contradicting yourself alittle there from your orginal statements. -Mal

I really get the impression from your posts to this thread that you are putting down anyone who thinks they deserve a, in my opinion, a well deserved break from being hounded in the game because of their CL status by playing another character and that makes me sad.

How you feel about your postition as a CL is a personal thing and others should not be made to feel that they can not live up to your standards. You are entitled to your opinion but try to express them in a way that does not "put others down"- Thanks-Mal

 

[Belle1997]

no, Dara, not at all.

Most of the Dis CLs I have found to be fine. But there are probably 2000 CLs and I would say 1500 of them fit that bill.

Wow and I have been trying since day one to be one. Wonder whats wrong with me. Other than when I first applied my email was aol and never got a response. Second time I was late applying and got the message sorry we have enough.

And now I see people still becoming CL and I do not understand how that can be since they are not taking anymore registrations. Though I have tried a few times.

But I still do what CL's do. I take new players around, I help them with the quests like divers, I help them to stay in the VMK boundaries of acceptable values. Hey I got tons of kids coming to my room for help and I am not a CL. And I find it frustrating so I agree All CL should be able to play other characters just to have some time to themselves.

My intentions are FAR from putting others down, so far from that. I am sorry if my posts are taken that way, I really am.

My main opinion is that if players want a break, they can log off and that by becoming a leader, one has the responsibilty of helping others. I know it isn't a requirement, but I'd hope players would realize their responsibilty as a leader. Another of my main opinions is that any player can answer questions, but a leader has to answer questions. If a leader doesn't want to do that, that leader can resign from leadership and just be a "regular" member to then answer questions when he or she so chooses to.

Please, please, please don't think I am downgrading or belittling leaders or anybody! Oh gosh I wouldn't ever even think of wanting to do that. I don't want members to feel so offended, but I guess on a topic like this, some will...actually, on any debate some members will feel offended. People get offended over debates between Walt Disney World and Universal, heh.

This is just a debate that both sides are presenting facts on. One side has strong opinions and the other side does also (lol -- somehow I think I'm alone on this side though lol - I'm okay with that though lol).

I am not making my posts personal because I truly understand where you guys are coming from. I'm just trying to hold my own ground on which I stand strongly on.

My last but most major opinion on this is that mules are fine. I just really hate to think that some mules are being created only to get away from the questions. Being a leader is tough, but not THAT tough. I don't care if anyone creates mules to get items or for other reasons like games, and so on...but I just don't like to hear that there are mules being created for only getting away from questions -- by the community leaders....when you'd expect leaders to be the ones going FOR the questions instead of away. I just feel so strongly on this issue because I know of a few very good members in vmk who aren't community leaders, but always find time to answer questions, never complain about there being too many questions and continue to come on and always stop for answering those people are have questions. Then these people aren't accepted as leaders while there are some leaders (none here) who apply to be a leader and then go on, answer a few questions, and then say they've had enough.

Please understand that my main position on this debate is that it is a debate against leaders finding time away from helping others...not against you guys. Actually most of my posts have been written with thought of people who don't even belong to this site. That is why I hate to think I've offended people...I am just trying to present my facts and opinions while the opposing side does the same.

Here's my problem with this. I'm human, same as everybody. So unfortunately, I do have "that time of the month". So you're saying that if I want to take a break from life by going on VMK during that time, I still have to fulfill my leader responsibilities, as though I'm a paid worker, and work past my personal problems? Or my other option is just not play VMK at that time?

I would say that if a person plans on being kind of "grumpy" in a game (as only natural) then maybe the better thing to, instead of trying to risk getting grumpy to others on a CL account and rather get grumpy on a "regular" account, try and control the grumpiness on a more "personal" account. That is, try to be as calm and collected as a person. That way, regarding this issue, the person won't have to resort to a mule just to get away from questions because he or she feels that they are going to get grumpy on people.

I do not think it was a debate until you so strongly stated your opinions that by CL's playing mules to get away from questions and being hounded was so blanantly wrong and I for one was offended by that as I am sure others were too.

Oh don't get me wrong...I never really take these things personal. But you made such a broad statement, that I'm just trying to figure out exactly what you are trying to say.

Personally, I don't use a mule often, but there are times when I really want to just sit and create a room or just play mini-games all day. Being not only a high profile player and a CL, that's next to impossible for me. So every so often (like once in a blue moon), I hop on a mule character to do just those things.

But as I stated before, I do have moments when I have issues in life and VMK is my escape, but something little on VMK can probably still ignite some sort of bad reaction. And rather than risk that kind of problem, I avoid it by using another character.

I do not think it was a debate until you so strongly stated your opinions that by CL's playing mules to get away from questions and being hounded was so blanantly wrong and I for one was offended by that as I am sure others were too.



Sorry, No it was not, your "debate" has taken this thread totally off topic.

I posted in response to another post. I didn't force anyone to respond back at me.

I am sorry my posts ruin this board.

I think this thread needs to remain on topic...which was not a debate over CL's playing Mules for what ever reason but whether they :

So anyway, back to my question: do CLs ever go "under cover" to keep an eye on things in VMK?

Let's keep this thread to that discussion thank you.

Oh don't get me wrong...I never really take these things personal. But you made such a broad statement, that I'm just trying to figure out exactly what you are trying to say.

Personally, I don't use a mule often, but there are times when I really want to just sit and create a room or just play mini-games all day. Being not only a high profile player and a CL, that's next to impossible for me. So every so often (like once in a blue moon), I hop on a mule character to do just those things.

But as I stated before, I do have moments when I have issues in life and VMK is my escape, but something little on VMK can probably still ignite some sort of bad reaction. And rather than risk that kind of problem, I avoid it by using another character.

That is a fine reason, then. I don't disagree with what you have said in this post at all. In fact, if anyone were to have a mule for getting away from questions, I would think this is the best way to use it.

ETA: Sorry, Mal. I was posting this when you posted that.
