Running IM:RP takes up a lot of time for management and most of the work they do is invisible and done when they are not in-game.
For example, they have to:
- Defend against cheaters, some of them designed specifically for IM:RP.
- Answer support tickets, Discord DMs, and forum PMs.
- Deal with appeals and reports (or help admins with them).
- Update the server software and dependencies, make backups, monitor performance.
- Monitor the staff team and hire/promote them when they're ready.
- Protect the server against daily DDoS attacks and exploit attempts.
- Read through forum suggestions and discuss the ones that seem good.
- Restore players who forgot their password and/or e-mail address.
- Investigate game crashes, improve mods, work on the launcher.
- Avoid and defend against RWT, fraud, and chargebacks.
Remember, management members are also humans, they have a lot more going on in their life than just IM:RP, and sometimes they join the server to have fun rather than work. Please avoid harassing them.
