Why did Steam remove the possibility of being a voluntary moderator ?

[Inifigua]

I would have liked to be one of them, i like helping people and contributing to keeping the community healthy so that people can have a good time.

Voluntary moderators were fully replaced by outsourced, paid ones.

One of the reasons you would have never been picked. Most people who WANT to be moderators can't handle the power. Besides, you already showed us that you have no clue about basic questions that come up a lot.

So far, you have made an award farming thread where you never gave awards but did receive them. You have yet to actually help in the other topics you replied to.

Volunteers didn't scale well, with a quickly growing community and the issues that brings.

It also required someone at Valve to manage them and Valve didn't seem to want to dedicate someone to doing so or they couldn't find someone who wanted to do so.

So they outsourced moderation to a 3rd party company. That way it could scale more and they didn't have to deal with it themselves.

Basically they chose to focus on the numbers for reports, rather then the quality, just as they have with support.

That's kinda the answer right there.

There's the old saying that goes "Those that see authority and power should never be given authority and power."

The origional batch were chose because they were already doing the V-Mod thing before they were even Vmods. That is being helpful and a positive influence on the various forums.

After the V mods became a thing well people started seeing it as a position that seemingly granted defacto power over the forums. and the sort of people who wanted that position were be default poorly suited.

So there was no real plan for expansion or replacement.

And why not be a paid one?
