Hello and welcome to the forums!

Volunteers/Community Managers:

- The forum community is handled by forum moderators and Community Managers. They are in charge of up keeping and promoting the forum community. They do not have tools to assist players with support inquiries.

- Community Managers (also referred to as CMs) are always reading what you have to say and make reports to the appropriate teams when necessary, thus it is highly important players have discussions so all readers, including Community Managers, can understand.

- Please do not make threads directed at the Community Managers/Volunteers. They will try to offer assistance if they can but please understand they may not comment or have information to provide at the time.

- Volunteers do not have the right to ban or give infractions and are under a set of rules and best practices provided by Nexon to help moderate the forums. Only Community Managers have the power to give infractions and ban other users.
