Our first poll ended in a tie, with options two and three coming in at four votes each! This poll is to serve as a tiebreaker vote, and here's the breakdown:
-The tied options were to let Staff earn money for Deity/DM posts: one option for a full 5g per post, and one for a lesser amount per post.
-Provided this, the question now is: How much money do you, as site members, feel is fair to allow Staff to earn for these posts?
-We have split the poll options into gold amounts: 1, 2, 3, and 5 gold, based on the results from the initial poll.
The same rules apply to this poll as they did in the first poll:
Each member is allowed one vote, no matter how many characters you have.
Staff members are not allowed to vote in this poll.
Staff members will NOT pester members for their votes, or which option they voted for.
Active members are the only ones allowed to vote in this poll.
The poll will close at 11pm EST on Tuesday, 2/21/17
Again, the poll is completely anonymous. Nobody, Admin and Mods included, are able to see which member voted for which option. Rinny is the only one who can see WHO participated, but not their votes (this is to prevent staff member and multiple character voting).
Subject: How much ic money should staff earn from Deity and DM posts?

Reposted from Poll I:
So a request has been made within the ranks of the website's staff team. However obviously we don't want to make a decision by ourselves because that would be conflict of interest. Thus we are reaching out to you, our member base, to see what your opinions are. And a judgment will be made in compliance to what you loves think are fair. And I promise, as your admin, the poll is anonymous. I've turned off the code that allows anyone, including myself, to see who voted for what. And it will remain that way. However, where I cannot see who voted for what I can see what accounts voted in general. With this in mind, each member is allowed one vote. Not one vote per character account.
Staff Note: You (the staff) are not allowed to participate in this poll at this time. Yes, you are members of inertia as well but we are also many in number and the subject of this poll. You will not vote at this time. You will not pester members for what their vote was. This goes without saying but I will take serious disciplinary measures against my own staffers if need be.
EDIT 02/12/2017: You must be an active member to take this poll please. I didn't think this had to be said but it does. If you have been inactive long enough for your playable characters to have been archived (months worth of time with no ic posts), please do not take part in our membership poll. This is to get a read from those who would be active on the site and thus "have a stake in the outcome".
With all this being said...
Thank you!!!
The staff would like to thank the member base for voting, and for allowing us to earn some amount of gold for our posts. It is appreciated that you think we deserve some compensation for the work we do with Deities and DM events, and I can honestly say we are blown away by the overwhelming response to our humble request. We really cannot thank you enough for this opportunity. Our duties are first and foremost to you, our beloved members, who make this site what it is today, and we hope to continue to make Inertia a wonderful place for you to spend your time.
BELOW are posts that were made by fellow members (not staff members, just inertia members) who wished to make their own cases. If you'd like to make your own just post it somewhere and ask for it to be transferred in the help desk.
