Got a Gallery in the Wild Chapter 35: Sub-moderator (2)

Chapter 35: Sub-moderator (2)

Normally,‌⁠ the gallery badges‍ refer to the‍‍⁠ main moderator and​​ the sub-moderator.

They‌ are administrators with⁠​‌ authority to manage‍​ the gallery.

At⁠‌⁠ first glance it‌ seems like they‍ have to work‌‍​ hard managing it,‌ but that is​ not the case.‍‍

In​ fact, they can‍ manage it quite⁠⁠​ casually. Each one​​‍ has their own‍ circumstances.

In‍‍‌ those cases, they⁠ can appoint sub-moderators⁠‌ and share the‌‌‍ workload.

Title)‌​‍ What is good‍‍ about being a sub-moderator?

I have no idea‌​

ㄴYou​ can delete posts‍‍ and ban users‌‍

ㄴAnd?‌⁠

ㄴNothing⁠ else haha

ㄴThen⁠‌ what is the‌⁠ point of being⁠ a sub-moderator?

ㄴThat⁠ is why nobody‌⁠​ wants to be‍⁠ one

ㄴIf⁠⁠ you manage badly,⁠‌ they also remove⁠​ you from the‍ position haha

ㄴDoesn’t​‌ the same happen​ to the main‌‍​ moderator?

ㄴNo,‌ that one just‍ has to log⁠‍⁠ in and that⁠⁠ is enough lol​⁠

ㄴThis‌⁠‌ looks like a slave system haha⁠

The‌‌⁠ problem is that⁠⁠ the reward is‍⁠ minimal compared to⁠‌ the responsibility.

Basically​‍ it is volunteer‍⁠ work.

That⁠ is why users⁠​‌ avoid being sub-moderators.‌

Even‌ if they do⁠‍ not like the‌ main moderator, it‍‍⁠ is enough to‍‌ say do you⁠ want to turn‌⁠‌ blue? to shut​⁠ them up.

Title)‌⁠‍ But this main‌‍ moderator does not​ appoint sub-moderators

Isn’t‍⁠ it tiring to⁠‌‌ manage everything alone?​

ㄴYes,⁠ that is why‍​⁠ everyone says to‍‌‍ appoint sub-moderators except​ themselves haha

ㄴInfinite‌ selfishness haha

ㄴIf‌​ it were you,‌​ would you accept?‌‍‍

ㄴOnly​‌​ if they paid⁠​ me haha

ㄴBeing⁠‍ a sub-moderator = group work leader,⁠‌ understood?

ㄴDamn,‍⁠‍ that reminds me‍‍ of the academy…‌ as a commoner​‍‍ it was awful‌‍‍

ㄴNow‌​ nobles are forced‍ to lead to​ set an example‌‌ haha

ㄴThat⁠ is how society‌‍ should be

The‍‍ sub-moderator is necessary,‍ but nobody wants​​‍ to do it.‌‌

Even‌‌ if they can⁠‌⁠ delete posts and‍‌ ban users, it‌ is not enough​‍‍ reward.

Title)‌‍ I remembered something​

When‍⁠ the moderator and‌‌ the sub-moderator fought‌‌⁠ and both died⁠‌

ㄴYes,‌‍ I remember haha​‍ it was great⁠‌​

ㄴOne​‍‌ of them was​ a noble haha‍⁠

ㄴWhy‌‌ did they fight?​

ㄴThe​‌ sub-moderator demanded the‌‍‌ position from the​‍​ main one

ㄴMakes⁠‍ sense

ㄴThe‍ main one said⁠ if he beat‌‌ him he would​ give it to​⁠‍ him haha

ㄴAnd‍ both died haha‌

Title)‍‌⁠ What powers does‌⁠​ the main moderator​‍ have?

ㄴIt‌‍ is the superior‍⁠ version of the⁠‍ sub-moderator

ㄴThey​‍⁠ can trade freely‍

ㄴThey​ can also make​​ private chats

ㄴCan’t⁠​⁠ they track users?‍‌‌

ㄴYes,​ once he helped‍‍ capture someone who​​​ threatened the emperor​‌

ㄴThat​‌⁠ is dangerous

ㄴHe​ also harassed a noblewoman and they⁠‍‌ gouged his eyes⁠‍⁠ out haha

ㄴHow‌‌ dangerous haha

Unlike‍‍ the sub-moderator, the‍‍‍ main moderator has⁠ a lot of‍ power.

They​​ can trade without‍‌⁠ restrictions and manipulate⁠ systems.

That‍ is why the​⁠ atmosphere of the‌‌ gallery depends on​⁠ the main moderator.⁠​​

The⁠​⁠ current one, HeroDontThrowAway,‍‍‍ is somewhat clumsy,⁠ but fair and‌ faithful to the⁠ rules.

In​ other words, a bit rigid.

The​‍ problem is that​​‌ sometimes he disappears,​​ and the gallery​ becomes chaos.

That⁠ is why sub-moderators‍⁠ should exist, but⁠⁠ he does not​​‌ appoint them.

Title)​​​ Why does he​ not appoint sub-moderators?‍⁠‍

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway)⁠​ I can handle‌‍ it alone! Besides,‌ they are not​⁠ paid!

ㄴAren’t​‌⁠ you paid either?⁠‌⁠

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway)⁠⁠⁠ I receive commission!‍ I use it‍​ to improve the​‌ gallery!

ㄴLike‍​​ what improvements?

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway)​⁠ Soon there will⁠ be minigames!

ㄴSo⁠​ you are not‍​ going to appoint⁠‍ sub-moderators?

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway)⁠ You are right‍‍ there!

ㄴI​‍⁠ am not a registered user haha‌‍

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway)‍‍ I can appoint‌‍⁠ you with commission!​

ㄴSorrysorrysorrysorry⁠​⁠

ㄴLol‌‍

Title)‌ How is the‍‌‍ main moderator chosen?⁠

ㄴThey‌ say they appear​ suddenly

ㄴIs⁠ it random?

ㄴYes​‍⁠

ㄴAnd‌ if they stop⁠​ logging in?

ㄴThey⁠⁠ lose the position,‌​‌ or if they‌‌ die

ㄴIf‌​ they go to‍ prison, they surely⁠‍⁠ lose the position‍​

Many​‌⁠ are interested in​⁠‌ the badges, but‍​ nobody really knows‌​ how they work.‍‌

Not​ even the main‍⁠⁠ moderator himself understands‌‍ the system.

In‌⁠ summary, the power‍​ is concentrated in​​ the main moderator,​⁠​ and the sub-moderator⁠ is almost a slave.

It​‌‌ is like being‌​ a group leader‍ without reward.

If‌ you do it⁠ well, it does‍‌ not matter. If⁠‌‍ you do it‍​‌ badly, they insult⁠​ you.

Only‍⁠ someone with great‍ patience or too‌​‍ much free time‍⁠⁠ would accept it.​‍‌

And​​ there was exactly⁠‍ someone like that.‍

[HeroDontThrowAway:‌ Are you really‌ going to do‌ it? I can‍​⁠ handle it alone!]​‍

[HeavenlyDemon:‍ I have already​ decided. But on‌ one condition. You‌ are busy too,⁠ right?]

[HeroDontThrowAway:⁠‍‌ I am fine‌ for now. But⁠ if I accept⁠⁠ that, they will‌‍ criticize me]

[HeavenlyDemon:‍ It does not⁠‍ matter. It does​ not affect me.]⁠

It‌⁠‌ was a private⁠ conversation between HeroDontThrowAway‌⁠ and HeavenlyDemon.

[HeavenlyDemon:‌‍​ I prefer to‌ say it openly.⁠‍ Better to receive‌ the criticism quickly.]⁠⁠⁠

[HeroDontThrowAway:⁠ I understand]

[HeavenlyDemon:‌‍‍ Then, will you‌‍ give me the‍​‌ badge?]

HeavenlyDemon​ had two objectives.‌​‍

First,⁠‍‍ to speak privately⁠ with WildGrills.

Every‌ time she commented,⁠ SwordTasteMaster appeared like‍⁠ a fly.

Second,‌‌⁠ to better understand‌⁠​ the gallery system.​

[HeroDontThrowAway:⁠‌ Alright. I will‌⁠ give you the‍‍ badge. But if⁠ you abuse the‍ power, I will​‍​ take it away]​

[HeavenlyDemon:‌ Do not worry.⁠⁠⁠ Besides, you can‍​ also see private‍‌ chats, right?]

All‌‌‍ private chats are‍‍ visible to the‌​​ main moderator.

But⁠‍⁠ HeavenlyDemon was not​⁠​ worried.

‘He‍ already saw it‍⁠ before.’

The‍ moderator can even⁠​​ see private messages.‌⁠

[HeroDontThrowAway:​ It is for⁠⁠ security. Is there‌⁠ a problem?]

[HeavenlyDemon:⁠ None. I will‍ even allow you​ to understand my‌‍‌ technique]

[HeroDontThrowAway:​ I am fine,​‍ I have the​ blessing of the⁠⁠ goddess]

Besides,‍​⁠ he would not⁠⁠‌ even understand it.‌‍

Yoo‌‌ Sowol knew very​‍​ well how she​⁠‍ was treated in‍​ the gallery.

A famous user who⁠ every day only‌​‍ wrote useless posts​‍⁠ or nonsense.

But‍​ the point was‌⁠​ that, within those‌ useless posts, the‍ enlightenment of HeavenlyDemon​‌ was contained.

No​‍ one would believe​⁠‍ it. Not even⁠ the main moderator​ would be any​ different.

Yoo‍‍ Sowol had already‍ calculated all of​⁠ that.

[HeroDontThrowAway:‌ From now on⁠ I am counting‍‌‍ on you, sub-moderator!]⁠‌

[HeavenlyDemon:‍ Likewise.]

After​‌ finishing the conversation,​ HeavenlyDemon obtained a blue badge next‍‍‌ to her name.⁠‌

As​‌ soon as she​ received it, she⁠ went to check⁠​ WildGrills’ post.

It⁠‌ seemed that something​ had happened while​ she was convincing⁠‍‌ the main moderator.‍⁠​

With‌⁠ a smile full‌ of expectation, she‌‍​ left a comment.⁠⁠

ㄴHeavenlyDemon)‌ Ah, I forgot.‍ From now on,‍‌​ call me sub-moderator.‌‌

ㄴAll⁠‌‍ of a sudden?​‌‌

ㄴWhat​​ happened?

ㄴWe‍⁠ are screwed. They⁠ gave power to⁠‌​ someone with too‍⁠ much free time;;‍⁠

ㄴEmergencyyyyy!!!‍⁠​

The​⁠‌ reactions did not‌ take long to‌‍⁠ appear.

No‌‌ one had imagined‌‍‌ that Yusowol would​⁠ become a sub-moderator.​​⁠

‘What‍‌‌ a strange feeling…’​‍

Yoo⁠ Sowol’s pride rose​‍ slightly.

Look‍⁠ at how they​⁠ tremble.

Before‌​ they treated her⁠‌⁠ like a useless⁠‍ old woman.

But‌⁠‍ now…

With​​​ that power, all​ the users were⁠‍ trembling.

In⁠ real life, HeavenlyDemon​‌​ Yoo Sowol could‍​ destroy many with‌ a single gesture.⁠‌‌

But​ receiving this treatment‌⁠‌ in the gallery…‌⁠

It​‌ was strangely satisfying.‌⁠

It‌⁠ felt as if‌‍​ she had left‍⁠ behind the identity‌​ of HeavenlyDemon and​ had obtained power‌​ as a human,⁠

That‍‌ is why she​ could not leave​​‌ the gallery.

For​ someone who lived⁠​ boring days, this​‍​ was a great​ excitement.

‘I‍‌ must announce my‍​ appearance properly.’

In⁠‌‌ the martial world,​ when one enters‌‌​ the world, one‌‍‍ announces their name⁠​ and origin.

Here​​⁠ it was no‍‍​ different.

With‍​ joy, she announced​ her presence.

That⁠ said, she moderated‌‌‌ her tone so⁠ as not to⁠ irritate the main⁠‌⁠ moderator.

Title)‍ Listen, commoners

HeavenlyDemon‌

Thanks‌ to the grace‍⁠ of the main​‌ moderator, I have⁠ obtained this badge.‍

But‌⁠ I do not⁠‍‍ plan to oppress⁠ you like an​‍ emperor.

I will only ban​ with justified reasons,⁠‍ so do not‍⁠‌ worry.

If‍‌ you have questions,​‌⁠ ask them. Today‌ I will answer.‌⁠‌

ㄴShe​‍‍ really has a badge? The world​​ is over;;

ㄴWhy‍‍‍ did they give‌​‌ it to this‌​​ old woman?

ㄴIs⁠ she not going‌‍​ to ban anyone‌ she does not​ like?

ㄴIf⁠ that were the‍ case, they would​⁠ not have given‌‌​ it to her⁠‌⁠

ㄴShould‌​ we apologize already?⁠‍

ㄴSwordTasteMaster)‍⁠ Why did you‌​‌ become a sub-moderator?‍‍ I do not⁠ understand.

That​‍ comment could not⁠⁠ be ignored.

Yoo‌‌⁠ Sowol started to‌ respond but deleted‍⁠⁠ it.

She⁠⁠ thought of something⁠⁠ more interesting.

After​⁠ thinking for a moment, she replied⁠‍⁠ smiling.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon)‍​ Think about it⁠​ yourself.

ㄴSwordTasteMaster)⁠‍ ??? But you‍ said we should⁠⁠ ask…

ㄴHeavenlyDemon)‍‍‍ I said I would answer, not‌⁠​ that I would​​⁠ give the answer⁠⁠ you want.

ㄴSwordTasteMaster)‍‌​ Are you joking?⁠

ㄴHeavenlyDemon)‌​‍ I am serious.‌

ㄴSwordTasteMaster)⁠ Now I feel⁠‍‍ like removing you;;;​

“Hehe.”‌

So‌⁠‍ this is how​‌​ it feels.

Yoo‌‍​ Sowol let out⁠ a slight laugh.‍

In⁠‌‌ reality, she wanted‌​ to punish her⁠‍‌ with a permanent​ ban.

She​​‍ was always bothering‌⁠ someone important.

But‍ she held back.​​

She‍‌‌ showed mercy.

After‌ all, now she‌ had control.

There⁠ was no longer‌⁠ any need to‌‌ pay attention to‍⁠ her.

‘Although‌​ if she also​‌ obtains a blue‍ badge, it will‌⁠ be different.’

But​‍​ that will be‍⁠​ a problem for​⁠ the future.

She‍‍‍ had all the​⁠ time in the​⁠ world.

Then⁠‍ she saw another‍​ comment.

ㄴWhat​​​ color is your​ underwear today?

“……”​​‍

She⁠​​ wanted to punish​⁠​ him.

But…‍‍​

“Hehe.”​

She‌‌ let it pass.‌

For⁠ her, that was‍ acceptable.

‘Seriously,⁠⁠​ this place is‌⁠⁠ full of idiots.’‍

And‍‌‍ once again, she‌‍ realized how peculiar‍‌ the gallery was.‍‍​

***‍

The⁠​ news that HeavenlyDemon​​​ had become a sub-moderator spread throughout‌ the gallery.

With‍​ that blue badge​⁠ clearly visible next‌‌​ to her name,​ it was impossible‌⁠⁠ not to attract‌‌ attention.

On‍ top of that,‌‍⁠ since she even‌ made a post,‍‍ her post was‌ full of comments.‍​

The​⁠⁠ problem was that‌‍ many of those⁠⁠ comments were pure‌ nonsense.

To‌‌ begin with, perverted⁠⁠⁠ comments were the‍​ norm.

It​ was something common‌ in the gallery,‌‍ but with the⁠ appearance of a sub-moderator, people had‍ gathered even more.​

‘It⁠ seems she is​ bored because of‍ her age.’

From‍⁠⁠ the kind of‌‌‍ things she always‍‍ posted, it made‌​‍ sense.

They‍ say that when⁠​ one gets older,​⁠⁠ one lives remembering​ the past.

Otherwise,‍‍ that level of‌ absurd provocation cannot​​‌ be explained.

‘Or‍‍​ could it be‍‍ that she wants‍​ attention?’

If‍​ that is the‌ case, it is‌ better to treat⁠‍ her with a bit more respect⁠‌‍ from now on.‌‌
