What are the craziest listings you've come across for a community manager? I was once applying for a job, and one of the requirements was affiliate marketing and nothing to do with community management. Are we trying to water down community managers to just being marketers?

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here.
