Staff
The staff who run the Vault Network are on IGN.com's payroll. Payment is based on the Editor-in-Chief's assessment of their work and its value to the network. The paid staff are a core group that oversee volunteers who fill a number of roles. Traditionally, there is a Vault Site Manager (and possible Assistant Managers) who oversee volunteers such as Quest Writers, Database Editors, and Column Writers. As some recompense for their work, these volunteers are given VIP status on the message boards. This amounts to free IGN Insider, a custom title and avatar if they wish, and the ability to change the color and style of their username when displayed on the forums.
The staff who oversee the message boards and enforce the rules work in a hierarchical manner. First are the Admins, then the Managers, and finally the Moderators. All of these positions are volunteer and come with the same perks as a VIP, but more responsibility.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
“Man, in spite of his tendency towards mendacity, has a great respect for what he calls the truth. Truth is his staff in his voyage through life; commonplaces are the bread in his bag and the wine in his jug.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in his shepherd s bag, in the pouch; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 17:40.
