To address staff argument that everyone is bringing up:

The thing is, while Toribash staff is very inefficient, there are obvious reason why that is, and those hint to the fact that it was never meant to be a serious position.

To begin with, standards of staff recruitment are set by other staff, which turns it into a circle jerk of like-minded people. Even for higher roles like Smod or Admin, it's not about how efficient or good you are at your duties, it's how well you can manipulate other staff into admiring you.

Game devs like Sir are obviously devs, not public relations managers, so they can be as opinionated and biased as they want, but somehow devs are at the top of the pyramid which means there is no one at any level of staff that would care the slightest about positive image or professional attitude.

Of course this also derives from the fact that no one is getting paid for moderation of any kind (except for Sir to some extent) so not one person has anything to lose in the first place. It all leads to Hampa being incompetent at managing his own staff. As an indie developer you are expected to either be involved with the community or hire people to do it for you and monitor them. He's doing neither, so while you can point fingers at staff, the person to blame for creating this circle jerk and those people getting staff positions is none other than Hampa himself.
