Chapter 125. Huh, it’s not as fun as I thought.
Anyway, I guess I got the authority.
In my past life… no, wait.
Before I got dragged here, I was curious why people who ran galleries would go crazy over wearing something called a “wristband.”
They didn’t really give straight answers about update delays or other issues.
Every time the topic of gallery management came up, they responded with a tone as lifeless as a corpse.
Considering that, as users had speculated, it seemed like only 10 to 20 people were managing things.
It was clear that the overload on the staff due to community management was a major factor in update delays and other issues.
It was obvious they were trying to reduce the overload by giving users management authority.
I decided to try out the authority as a manager and see what I could do by opening a gallery.
And as soon as I opened the gallery, the sight that greeted me was…
—
-[From now on, we shall begin the worship of the wristband](1,512)
-[Are you insulting the 10-tak, the supreme beings of the Ara Gallery?](6,136)
-[Just as kings and nobles have their own seeds, so do the pa-tak](83,901)
-[If the staff is stupid, then upvote lol](3,025)
-[So from now on, if we see a pa-tak nickname, we just downvote, right?](85,845)
-[They’re posting poop pics lololololol](62,436)
-[What the hell is this gallery’s state?](9,531)
-[Is this a game where power is given to rankers?](35,554)
-[From now on, we rule this gallery!](45,121)

‘Oh, please.’
Maybe it’s because the so-called “pa-tak”—wristband-wearing managers—were massively recruited.
To counter them, our self-proclaimed anarchists, who worship freedom, were setting the entire gallery on fire.
One thing that’s particularly annoying is that, right in the middle of this chaos…

The gallery burning like this seems to be caused by the Loki Clan, a famous group of trolls, along with their leader, Pingchang Betelgeuse.
‘Is that true?’
Since I wasn’t very active in the community and didn’t have a good encounter with Betelgeuse, my ears perked up and my eyes naturally gravitated toward this content.
I clicked on the “Manager Menu” that was conveniently placed in my view.
I thought that if I just blocked Betelgeuse, who’s also a wristband-wearer, everything would be over.
But that thought didn’t last long.

These idiots were sending encrypted messages in the public chat, not even 1-on-1.
When I entered the encrypted chat room, I found out they were plotting to frame others.
These idiots can’t even fake properly.

-[You always have to be prepared, folks.] (Author)

Immediately, the Loki Clan, under the name of their vice-leader, posted a declaration stating that they weren’t at fault.
At the same time, they launched a public opinion campaign in the gallery against the real forces setting it on fire.

Ah, damn, those Loki Clan bastards are swarming in like crazy.

How the hell did they find the base location, damn.
Comments:
– [Quick and sharp reactions, damn]
– [If you declare war, you better be ready to take the hits, for real]
– [They said the fleet power was weak because of the trolls, but it seems pretty solid after all]
– [Nah, it’s more like the elite members who usually stay low-key within the clan all came out this time]

They started attacking outside the gallery just because their “specialty” (?) was being invaded.
Not long after, the small clan causing chaos ended up losing everything and got wrecked.
Seeing the remaining chaos posts being deleted by someone presumed to be Betelgeuse, doing crowd control, I naturally decided to let go of my plan to block Betelgeuse from the admin menu.
==========
With that minor(?) user conflict over, the gallery, which had been paralyzed by chaos, started functioning normally again.
Of course, “normal” by gallery standards.

“…What kind of fight have we been fighting, admins?”
Realizing that the first report as an admin was an overly horrifying image, I deleted the post and immediately banned the user for 15 days.
I finally understood why the admins said, “We operate without standards,” and decided to act accordingly.
But once I started managing the gallery with that mindset, it didn’t take long for me to realize…
“What the hell is the fun in this erasing job, and why do people react so strongly to it?”
After spending 5 hours deleting all kinds of disgusting and trashy posts, I had a sudden realization.
“Wait, isn’t this only beneficial if you’re a clan leader or a clan executive?”
Among the top rankers, except for the guy who was 10th and me, everyone was part of a clan.
Being an admin could be seen as a reward, but for someone like me, who’s far from manipulating public opinion and not in any clan…
It was essentially just a glorified eraser role, deleting grandma and grandpa’s poop, dicks, and other disgusting posts.
I felt like I had been scammed, and that feeling just kept growing.
