The Game Masters are official Customer Support Representatives of Frogster America. Their role is to run the day-to-day support in-game and on the boards. They resolve our players' technical and game issues and have the last say on any issue between the players. They are the only ones that can reprimand players for misbehavior.

FM's are trusted members of our community that have volunteered to aid their fellow players on the boards and in game, by giving advice and counsel. Their role is to keep an watchful eye on things and let the GMs know if there is any issue on the boards and in game that needs our attention. They have a limited number of permissions on the boards (move, open, lock and merge threads, delete).
