GameFAQs is one of their smallest holdings, but brings in more profit than most of the other sites, even Game Spot. Yet they won't hire full time employees because then they'd have to pay benefits, like health, and instead just hire part time. It's a common practice thanks to Obama Care.

Huh. I did not know that. That's interesting.

Yea.

As of January 1, 2015, employers with 50 or more full time equivalent (FTE) employees are required to provide health coverage to full-time employees or else pay a tax penalty.

It's one of the main reasons that companies don't hire many full time employees anymore, but rather a swath of part time employees for anything not administrative.


This is one of the big reasons why the US needs to move away from an employer-based healthcare model to begin with

HAHA. Apparently some guys like women feet, even if they are broken in four places and require surgery to repair them.

Yea, ended up having surgery due to a massive metatarsal break on my left foot. My right foot was spared by only a break of my big toe. I couldn't stand or walk properly for like 3 months. So it's kind of hilarious when people try and attack my feet due to trauma.

I just don't like change myself. I signed up when the site had the censoring enforced so it's just more like keeping things the same to me.

Taken from my theorize topic:

When Krystal109 was selected, users pointed out her lack of karma (only 50% of what her total karma could have been), and lack of notability outside of the contributor community, a lot of people saw her as a bad pick for the community manager position.

Krystal was a little too unaware and clueless about the GameFAQs community. This was made obvious when she offered LUE access as a prize in one of the GameFAQs contests (although improbable, it was still possible to win), and kept bickering with CE for most of her time as a Community Manager.

In July 2015, her userlevel was dropped from “60: Administrator” to “34: Icon.” She claims her contract ended, although Allen’s response (“Just posting only to confirm this isn't a glitch or anything, we have parted ways with Steph”) implied she was demoted. Whether she actually was demoted or not, I don’t know.

I can’t speak for Krystal as a Community Manager, and I’m not going to pretend that I know how she did - because I heard from moderators at the time that she was actually really good. Maybe Krystal was a good community manager, maybe her contract actually did end. From the circumstantial evidence I see, clearly something went wrong.

No, because that's not what happened at all.

She posted a picture of sprained ankle and everyone trolled her for having fat girl feet, which she blamed on the swelling.

@Krystal109 are you still dating Devin
cuz I'm single and in the middle of nowhere. Just a plane trip and 2 layovers away, then you'll have to rent a car. ;)

Anyway I don't remember the reason you stepping down was due to CBSi cheaping out and laying you off but that makes sense. Sucks bro, hope you're having better luck now.

Of course I do, it was great blog material for when my Gamefaqs Users Against Censorship campaigning was at its peak.

Pros:

- Despite a terrible handling of the bover situation, I think the mod decks really started to clear around this time. I actually started getting overturns and apologies(!) when I disputed moderations, now I don't really get any moderations at all. The terms got looser and I don't know the extent of Krystal's involvement since it was behind the scenes, but there was a correlation.

- Actually responded to my PMs in a thoughtful manner, even though she probably knew I was going to complain about the parts I didn't like on my blog. I like to think we are on friendly terms.

Cons:

- Unprofessional. A lot of people thought this, and her reactions on CE didn't help any. When there are long-time users from 2000 or earlier and they accurately claim that a mod stole someone's account, don't call them whiny crybabies and liars for the entire weekend before Allen comes back on Monday and sorts it out.

- What was Gamefaqs getting out of it? Apparently not much, if they dropped the position that quickly. She was well-known for getting into arguments on CE but that's about it. I don't claim to be some expert on PR or community relations, but I think I could've done a better job.

they won't hire full time employees because then they'd have to pay benefits, like health, and instead just hire part time. It's a common practice thanks to Obama Care.

Obamacare has been such a bad program, I would say it's the single biggest drain on this economy. DC tried to mandate super-expensive plans and then acts surprised when nobody can afford to hire.

It's a pretty obvious question: If I was fired for being s*** at my job, why didn't they hire someone better instead of a different position?

What were the accomplishments you were proud of?

I thought people disliked her because they thought she was racist?

There was some comment where she said she didn't date black people (anymore) due to "cultural differences" - ironically I don't think anyone grabbed a screen of it, but it blew up on her later on and she confirmed to me in a PM that she said it.

So was the dating Devin thing true or not?

I don't remember hearing anything like this so I heavily doubt it.

Here's some more food for thought

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IvbAeUIBxx4/VaDh3GJimzI/AAAAAAAAAI8/VjTephaU2Sg/s1600/was%2Bkrystal%2Bgood%2B-%2Bnope.png

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H60cblTHbcM/Vax4bpEYL9I/AAAAAAAAAJk/DWFP-ZHEMY0/s1600/Krystal%2BCEsspool.png

More of that trademark condemnation of entire boards and some of the most active message board users on the site. Apparently the numbers aren't up to snuff for the higher ups, possibly due to things like staff hostility towards users or the site's trigger-happy moderation system driving people away, and Krystal's defense against this data was that her bosses simply don't understand how much the userbase sucks

It's easy to forget, but this site once went all-out with taking down messages when anyone made a general statement against political groups. Not just the typical complaints like "*sigh* liberals...*sigh* conservatives" I mean all-out. It was actually so bad that people were modded when they criticized ISIS as a group. It could offend someone!

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j1F96Q9zTEA/VJpzTgBKQ9I/AAAAAAAAAG0/qfVlLwwwITY/s1600/Krystal%2B-%2Bno%2Bgeneralizing%2Babout%2Bthe%2Bbad%2Bgroups!.PNG

So you guys got that? Just because someone belongs to a "bad group" of "f***ing terrorists" doesn't mean you get to make any generalizations about these bad terrorists...uh, isn't that what you did? Oh and sorry dude, but if we accepted that ISIS was a bad group then it's one slippery slope away from becoming a world where no mod knows who we can and can't generalize as a bad group, therefore we can't let you do it for clearly bad groups.

One man's embarrassment is another man's knowledge. I'm just glad that I can back my positions up with documentation and give accurate answers to questions.

I just remembered that "The man who cared too much" got added to my signature after Krystal made similar comments. Not a bad thing to be, and it wasn't even my job. Gamefaqs loosened up its restrictions and I was happy to play a part in that process.

No. I was nowhere near that side of things. Did I call stuff out and bring people together? Yes. Never underestimate the power of public pressure.

Would you like to tell us more about your accomplishments?
