The action of gaining modpoints refers to making yourself known to a game staff in order to be promoted to it. The most popular ways of gaining modpoints are reporting hackers and spammers, chatting with staff in mumble, and basically making yourself (and your team) well known by the game's community. The more modpoints you have, the more possibilities you have of being accepted.
Modpoints can also be lost, by glitching, behaving inappropriately or other actions which are criticised by the community. It was invented in a Minecraft community, the Overcast Network.

+Did you see Felipu? He's still gaining modpoints, he has just reported 8 people while being in mumble!
-Really? He's gonna get mod soon, it has been a while since the time he glitched and lost modpoints.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
