Exit scammers are impossible to predict. We all know that. We've had high-reputation members exit scam and almost none of us could tell (and please don't say "oh but I knew they would!" - you couldn't have predicted them all, so shush and listen).

So why is it that when certain staff members exit scam, the whole staff team gets shit on?
  • Maybe it's because that staff member broke your trust and/or scammed you. (If you were scammed, chargeback and file a police report as you would any other procedure for large sums of money. Not that difficult.)
  • Maybe it's because you didn't know that member originally and therefore it's the team's fault for selecting them.
  • Maybe it's because you want something to hang shit on the team for not doing as well as you want.
I only have one thing to say to those points. The staff members who get banned generally did a good job while they were staff. Harrison did. BucketOfSloths did. DiabloTurtle did for a time. (Seb1 I don't know), and Myiume did before he went inactive. You simply couldn't tell who would exit scam when to a precise degree. And honestly I'm sorry that 5 staff members out of all 45 non-banned staff and ex-staff ruined it for all. I'm sorry that people think it's okay to hang shit on the entire team.

But it's really not okay to hang shit on the team. There are 45 staff and ex-staff (including Mick, Bosny, Verr) who do, and have, put their sanity on the line to deal with the community as much as they have. With all the toxicity, saltiness and harassment, it's not easy. Staff choices are pretty much always good. You can tell people have been researched; because most staff wind up doing a lot of good for MCM.

Now just because the people they choose generally aren't well-known (Capaldi being a prominent example to the contrary) and popular doesn't mean they're not good staff/people. For example, 'unknown' staff haven't scammed, despite the aforementioned staff who were actually well known, who did actually scam. Even Harrison was well-known prior to being picked for staff. It shouldn't be a trend of mistrust in the unknown members.

Am I kissing ass right now? Probably. What I'm not saying is you can't be angry. But when people say "So let's choose exit scammers" (referring to staff choice) - seriously just fuck off.

As much as I want to agree with this I can’t because there could have been precaution taken. If Mick, Justis, and other staff members knew that staff members receiving loans and loans in general were bad, why wasn’t action taken despite multiple people suggesting to them it’s a bad thing?? I don’t think it should have taken a worst case possible scenario for them to take action they should have and could have taken a while before something like this happened

I daresay that the loaning was an under the table sort of thing. And if not, it would have been frowned upon. But you're absolutely right. Unfortunately that comes after the staff selection process though, so while I get where you're coming from, it's impossible to initially tell even with the most stringent research.
are you getting paid to post this

and if so how much
Yes and yes, about 30 yen per word.
