I just want to say that when this was being done most recently I was online, and what didn't show in his screenshot was the constant stream of complaints coming in from pubbers who had one of two concerns:
1. His means of acquiring the SpaceBux.
2. The fact that someone in his position (a mod) was willing to go this far out of his way to be an annoyance.
I don't know Beam personally, or at all really, so I can't really comment on the accusation that he may have tried to cheat the system to get what he has currently. His story is that it was donated. Until proof surfaces that indicates otherwise, I'll have to say that he was gifted it fair and square.
In addition, though, I would like to also say that as a member of staff, you have a certain code of conduct to abide by. You can choose to talk shit to other squads/players while you're on staff if you want...nobody is going to stop you from being a borderline asshole sometimes either. Unless someone higher ranked than you explicity tells you to cool it, it's probably never going to be an issue that costs you your position.
Anyway...
That doesn't mean that you should behave this way. It's common sense, guys. You're supposed to be the part of the community that assists people and makes their playing experience a little more enjoyable. If you have trouble doing that, the least you should do is make an effort to not be the source of someone's discontent. If you have that much trouble understanding your role as a staffer, I really suggest you think about whether you're really here to contribute to the game and give back to the community somehow or if you just want a fancy title and an inflated sense of self-worth.

This is some new fad. Beam isn't the first person to spend 20 minutes spending pub cash sphering pub.

given that this game is still just barely hanging on, why is beam allowed to be such a little shit? i've seen the same complaints over and over. he truly is pissing off a lot of players, potential long term additions to our dwindling playerbase.
i don't care about "fairness" to him. he should know better. give him a warning about knocking it off, and if he can't grow up and stop exploiting the system for his own shits and giggles, axe him from staff and even ban if necessary.
yep, it's harsh. do i care? hell no. greater good, folks. that's what it's all about.
If people don't like the items in pub then just remove them. Someone is always going to have a large amount of money and you can't just ban them all every time they decide to use some. Using the argument that I'm staff and not entitled to have fun is ridiculous. If I stop and in a couple weeks someone who isn't staff decides to spend a million pub dollars what can you do about it?
Eventually I'll run out of money and as is I'm very limited in what I can buy with what I believe to be fair time restraints between purchases.
