	https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/were-looking-for-volunteer-moderators-f or-an-official-discord.12730/ We are looking forward to opening our first official Dungeons & Dragons Online Discord, and we are looking for some members of the community to volunteer to help make it a reality! Since Discord is an always-on text and voice communication tool we are hoping to gather volunteers to help keep an eye on things. We are required by law to not provide formal compensation for your volunteer service, but you will be helping to make an official Discord happen, you'll have direct communication with us, and we'll do our best to conduct periodic random giveaways for codes for volunteers. Volunteers will need to sign a legal document with us called a Non-Disclosure Agreement. This agreement will be drafted by the Daybreak legal team and you must agree to it in order to become a volunteer. This allows us to communicate with you as a moderator. You will need to provide us with personal information including your real name and address, contact information, and game account user name. Volunteer Moderators will help me moderate the DDO Discord by supporting our community rules, assigning roles, and being available to answer general questions. You will never be asked to volunteer during a certain time frame, and there will never be a schedule for moderators. You'll simply be around to help when your time permits and you are active in the Discord. To learn more and apply, follow this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BDRJFKZ We have not yet announced an official open date for our Discord, but we are expecting to open in the coming weeks. There'll be text and voice chat! We look forward to getting more information to you about the Discord soon. Cordovan Community Manager, Standing Stone Games

	Its called Jerry's Law. It applies exclusively to Standing Stone Games.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

( minimum wages, social security, healthcare, retirement and more ) And they don't wan to have to deal with that kind of clusterfuck.

	Yes my avatar is an Hermine eating a Greenland Lemming for brunch.

	I think fat jerry is invocing "the law" to avoid having to give any kind of perks/rewards to the volunteer moderators. If you look at the laughably pathetic shit they consider "VIP perks" for people who pay THEM, you can imagine what they think a volunteer is worth. Probably Steel sat down in a meeting and said something like "Ok, this discord thing... how can we get people to pay us for the privilege of moderating it?"

That was 20 years ago but still.

His mantra of non making him do mod work is the true mark of a professional BUT, unfortunately, he would be overperforming and SSG cannot have their incompetence tarnished by good work.
