I looked at the monitor, nodding with satisfaction.
Yes, this is the right reaction.
The negative sentiment is still in the majority, but this will soon be overturned.
Still, some uncertainties remain.
A small number of users persistently latch on and present their doubts.
To deal with this, I need to deliver a final blow.
I did have the thought of picking one more assistant mod.
So I looked to see if there was any more talent.
I need a fixed-nick who hates taking on responsibilities but is still active in the gallery…
That way, I can imprint the idea that the assistant mod position isn’t something to be desired but rather forced conscription.
Also, I have this urge to give it to those who refuse it the most.
Or do I?
Whatever.
I searched for a suitable assistant mod candidate, but there wasn’t any real progress.
It even got to the point where I thought it might be better to wait and appoint someone later.
There’s such a lack of talent.
It’s the end of the world.
Scoffing, I looked around with a feeling of semi-resignation.
My aimlessly scrolling came to a stop at a certain point.
Huh?
I found one.
A fixed-nick that perfectly meets the conditions, not a sacrificial lamb.
Without hesitation, I sent an assistant mod acceptance request.
A post appeared on the bustling Yuri Gallery, which was filled with talk about the change in leadership.
It wasn’t from a fixed-nick or a semi-fixed-nick, but from an anon.
The post’s title was full of cursing at the newly appointed head mod, so I thought it was just another attempt at criticism.
Or maybe it was a follower of the previous head mod making an underhanded attack after logging out.
People clicked on the post for amusement or to find common ground.
And then they were greeted by content different from what they expected.
<Head Mod, You *sshole, You Evil *sshole>
(A pop-up window shows that the user has been banned for 30 days by the head mod. The reason given is to accept the assistant mod position to get unbanned.)
I really don’t want to be a mod.
I was deliberately laying low during the conscription period, but you still forced it on me?
It’s so malicious to ban me for 30 days so I can’t use the gallery unless I accept the assistant mod position;
Why me, seriously?
Go f*ck yourself.
oo: This is why I use the gallery as an anon lol
-oo: Smart people are truly anonymous lol
oo: Wow, I’m jealous of the assistant mod.
-oo(Author): Jealous? They just have more work, and there’s nothing in it for me.
-oo: Still… cool, isn’t it?
-oo(Author):
oo: This is a bit sad, wasn’t this person a normal fixed-nick?
-oo: People complain when they appoint crazy fixed-nicks, and they complain when they appoint normal fixed-nicks. Which is it?
This post became the catalyst that reversed the gradually forming cracks in public opinion.
<Assistant Mod << On second thought, it doesn’t seem like a position worth fussing over, upvote>
When you think about it, they just have more work on top of their usual gallery activities, without any benefits.
They don’t get paid, and the only perk seems to be getting close to the head mod?
Honestly, I had a dark feeling when the assistant mods were appointed, but that post just changed my mind.
Good luck lol
Upvotes: 548, Downvotes: 56
oo: This isn’t rigged, I upvoted 10 times.
DaRangNyong: That’s what rigging is.
oo: But what’s the big deal about being an assistant mod in the Lily Gallery?
oo: During the previous head mod’s reign, it was a sweet position where they’d pick people they liked, meet up regularly, and network.
-oo: Oh….
oo: Also, people are worried the gallery will be ruined because they picked weird people as assistant mods.
<Honestly, There Was No Management During the Previous Head Mod’s Time Either>
They only suppressed negative opinions about themself and never quickly deleted hateful posts.
The previous assistant mods didn’t do anything either, except for occasional events.
oo: It’s just that a new, exciting topic came up after a long time, so everyone’s excited lol
-oo: I’d send inquiries to the suggestion box all the time, but she never even looked.
oo: But if you said anything bad about the head mod, you’d get banned immediately, which was ridiculous.
LilyFlower: You don’t know anything.
<The Lily Gallery is Honestly Getting Normalized Now>
The head mod wasn’t working -> Replaced.
The assistant mods weren’t working -> Appointed people who are active in the community and seem like they’ll do a good job.
Everyone’s resistant because the changes happened all at once, but I think it’ll be normalized soon.
Barista: lol
oo: But are you sure this head mod won’t be the same?
-oo: Even if we’re not sure, it’ll be better than the last one.
Thanks to this, the gallery quickly regained stability.
To the point where they even tried to catch the fixed-nick who was trying to incite a rebellion and lynch them.
I had to step in to save them, as the head mod.
In the process, there was, unfortunately, one sacrificial lamb.
<I Ended Up Accepting the Assistant Mod Position.>
Author: Lee Haon
It ended up… like this..
Since I got it, I’ll do my best…….
oo: (lots of ‘great’ emojis)
oo: How do you feel?
Lee Haon: I want to cry.
oo: The last assistant mod is actually a normal person.
-oo: A likable fixed-nick (for real)
In the end, since they became an assistant mod, it’s a happy ending for everyone, I guess.
Good for them.
<But is the Head Mod Pretty?>
There were rumors that the previous head mod was really pretty, which is why she could rule for so long even with that kind of management.
I have no idea about the newly appointed one since I’ve never heard of that fixed-nick.
oo: Is that important right now?
-oo: It’s very important;
oo: Since they were an assistant mod, there’s a 100% chance they met the previous head mod. No one knows except the previous head mod.
-oo: But there are rumors that the previous head mod only appointed people she liked, so they’re probably pretty.
oo: If she’s ugly, I’m going to commit a tactical terror.
Ttururu: Please don’t………
After appointing the last assistant mod, I leaned back in my chair.
I think this can be considered a rather successful debut.
I wrote a post on each of the newly appointed assistant mods’ guestbooks.
This was to invite them to the mod’s private chatroom.
As a side note, we decided to create a new chatroom for the mods, because of Hwayeon’s strong request.
She said she wanted to keep the chatroom with the four of us as it is.
That’s what Hwayeon asked.
I felt a bit uneasy, but since I had already ignored Hwayeon’s request once, I decided to listen to her this time.
I don’t think anything will happen, anyway.
I first invited Cho Hyeseol and Hwayeon to the newly created group chat.
I tried to invite Juyeon as well, but she refused.
Instead, I got a call from her and had to listen to her nonsense for a while.
Embarrassing.
“Hang up!”
[There’s still so much left to say… Okay. You’ll call me tomorrow too, right?]
“Alright…”
[Hehe, okay!]
Juyeon hung up only after securing a call with me.
I brought my hand to my cheek.
It felt hot from embarrassment.
I have to listen to this every day.
Should I run away now?
After seriously considering it, I decided to leave it to my future self.
It’s over for now, so that’s good!
Most importantly, I need to check the replies from the newly appointed assistant mods.
I refreshed the page and saw replies from ‘NotATroll’ and ‘AlcoholIsLife’.
First, I checked the message from ‘NotATroll’.
Kim Seoyoon: I’m the fixed-nick NotATroll.
Kim Seoyoon: (Screenshot proving they’re logged in)
Kim Jia: Okay, please join the mod group chat.
Kim Jia: The password is 10069.
Kim Seoyoon: Link?
Kim Jia: https://nhvnovels.com/chapters/chapter-41-first…ted-one-person-3/
Kim Jia
By the way Seo yoon Your speech is normal?
Kim Seoyoon: …That’s because it’s a concept.
The first assistant mod’s real name is Kim Seoyoon.
Interestingly, unlike her behavior in the gallery, her way of speaking was normal.
I sent a startled hamster emoticon and left the chatroom.
If I’ve given this much guidance, they’ll figure out how to join.
The second message to check is from ‘AlcoholIsLife’.
This person was also a huge concept player, how will they talk in the chat?
I went in with a lot of curiosity.
EneHa: Nice to meet you. Korean. Awkward. Please understand.
My mouth fell open.
They were really Russian?
How do I even read that name?
It was even more of a twist because I thought it was a concept.
I hid my surprise and kindly guided them to the group chat.
Can you even use the community in Russia?
Many questions came to mind, but I decided to ask them later as time went on.
After finishing the guidance, there was still one person left.
The fixed-nick ‘Lee Haon’, who became a sacrificial lamb for public sentiment.
And this fixed-nick is…….
Jo Sooa: Isn’t this totally mod networking?
Kim Jia: It’s been around since the previous head mod’s time, so it’s okay.
Jo Sooa:
As the most normal fixed-nick, there was nothing special about her.
If anything, it’s that her fixed-nick and real name are very different?
I was curious, so I asked her directly.
It’s okay to ask about their nickname, right?
Kim Jia: By the way, your fixed-nick and real name are quite different?
Jo Sooa: Of course.
Jo Sooa: Who uses their real name as their fixed-nick? Only a fool would do that.
Kim Jia: .
I instantly became a fool.
I blinked.
Kim Jia: Just hurry up and join.
Jo Sooa: lol
I felt like I lost, but whatever, I was happy that my work was done.
It’s like the feeling of a child who finished their homework and gained freedom.
I sent a message to the group chat where all the mods had gathered.
Kim Ji-ah: Please take care of me, everyone.
Cho Hyeseol: Haa…
Baek Hwayeon: Please take care of me!
Baek Hwayeon: Let’s all get along!
EneHa: Take care. Me too.
Kim Seoyoon: Please take care of me.
Jo Sooa: Please take care of me too.
I smiled faintly as I watched the messages coming in.
