I was in a host room a couple months ago and saw a person with the Gold Star pin. This person who shall remain nameless said, specifically, that he or she got the pin by helping Hula run a host game. Hula was not in the room at the time, in fact, no host was. This person also proceeded to tell everyone there that Hula had specifically asked him (or her) to run the game while she was out of the room and that he got his Gold Star pin by doing exactly that, helping Hula out in her room. Now, keep in mind that this person is NOT a CL. This person stood in the middle of the room telling everyone to move through the teleporters etc etc. Other non-CLs came in and said "I want to help too" to which this person replied "You can't, only I am allowed, I am in charge here" - they ignored him, as well they should have, and stood in the middle of the room doing exactly what he did. Through this time, he insinuated to many people thathe was a staff member, and in fact, several people reported him. After a time, Hula came back in the room and this person said "Hi Hula, I saw came in and saw that you were not here and decided to help out" - the others who were in the room said the same thing. Hula thanked the original person and then YELLED AT the others and booted them. (For the record, this entire time, I just stood in the doorway so I could not be seen and followed the conversations)
Moral of the story is, certain people can do whatever they want in VMK and they get a gold star pin for it. The rest of us get banned and yelled at for doing EXACTLY the same thing.
