Inactivity of staff

Redstoner → Other → Inactivity of staff

Ive noticed that the activity of moderators on the server has been going down lately (yes someone is gonna blame it on me i know) aswell as when they are on, and this has been going on for atleast a year now, they do not do any work with people, they wait for people to annoy them and even then they very often miss messages, lets not talk about the amount of time i see a report hanging in there and not being solved. most of the time it seems they come on to mostly play and kick the occasional spammer/caps and thats about it, ive been telling them to do more work for a while now, as to wich ive seen misa acctualy talk to people alot more even when not asked to and help visitors get registered and so on, helpers are also getting into it a bit more now. However thats the only people ive seen taking their job seriusly. The gallery has been on the todo list for mods forever now, and there is no exscuse to be made for this as there is nothing holding you back. While im adressing this i would like to point out that dico and sheep agreed on the same thing at the demote eniallator post that hackerthomas made yet there has been no improvement since then, and most of you have seen that forum thread. if you would care to explain why this is going on.

Also night you were aparently busy with another server while redstoner had 40+ people on and 0 mods on. If you dont have enough time to handle both servers then you should gracefully retire.

Now hidden admited he didnt have what it takes and just wanted to play , so he was man enough and retired himself.

Another proff that you do have time but are just simply inactive is those times when there is 0 of you on, something happens and there is instantly 3-4 of you on.

Now ill also adress the issue with some inactive admins, and the last time they acctualy made a piece of code or rebooted the server. <– inactive should be put to retired rank.

With all this said, if the mods do not improve the work they do on the server then a demotion should be seriusly disscused.

After wich i would gladly hand over my rank aswell and become a trusted where i can tell people to suck a dick.

Lets not be so whiny as we are atm ey people?

Before demoting half the team, we should find some people that can do the job, just saying.

I like the way you put it pan it seems as a server you need to look into it

An other problem is that the server is getting more people on it but not more mods

I also like what dico put

daan thats not a problem at all, if the mods were active there would be a completely sufficient amount of them, and dont forget to count in helpers

that is also right dean we are getting bigger and more popular and we have so little staff and most the time we need help we don’t get it because the doing your own stuff I can see we should wait but sometimes we don’t even get a replay to the question at hand. the only staff I see helping are the helpers and misa

I totaly agree with Pan. For example I’ve got a ’no’ many times when I just asked if a mod can add a new sayLol. Dang mods can’t be bothered to write a single line…

I agree just swap good helpers for bad mods

^ikr

Or just remove the helper rank? There will be four more mods like that x)

i don’t like that matoseb i like the helper rank

They are way to similar for me, but i guess that the helper rank is more of a test for future mods?

yea but arhur as a mod this will kill us :D

Well I think this is a great thing you are doing with this server. I hate when there is no mods on to control the annoying people or unneeded problems on the server. Sometimes I wish everyone had the kick privilege. Even know that would end well xD. Well great job guys taking control and fixing this. This is why I play on the best plot server in my point of view!

ikr killa and its the best to see u on here love u man <3

@PanFritz There are currently only 4 helpers, so there aren’t that many. In my opinion, there should be quite a few more. I mean, the rank exists, so there may as well be more than 4 of them.

@Dico200 On point with your response. Haha if I was trusted, I would gladly apply for Helper, yet I know I would be turned down. :p

@PanFritz Thanks for this post, I too want to see better management from the Moderators. Most of them aren’t taking the job seriously and thinking it is just a rank that you earn, and hardly have to do anything after that; when if fact it is a demanding job that takes effort, time, and dedication to the server.

@Matoseb “You can regard helpers as mods on trial” -Dico 6 months ago in the “New rank: Helper!” post.

@cheetie True. Maybe a few more, but the server doesn’t need more staff in general, it just needs superior staff.

Well then.

I can safely say that I agree with everything this Pan mentioned in his original post. Ranks like moderator, admin, and even helper are not something to be sought if you do not have the time/ are not willing to contribute beyond the occasional kick and ban. Those who find themselves without the opportunity to play or contribute some time each day should not have a problem giving up the rank to someone else so we can make sure we have a readily available and willing staff for problems that arise.

Leaving the staff team is not something to be ashamed of, I even thought about doing it myself due to recent inactivity. It doesn’t mean I don’t care about the server, and it doesn’t mean all of my friends in the staff dislike me; it simply means I can’t contribute in the same way I used to.

I am all for cycling staff, but Dico brings up a very good point. We need to make sure that we have capable and willing replacements before we decide to move anyone around.

@cheetie nice try

Still don’t have a good way of finding new people, anyone?

@Dico200 Maybe ask around the Trusteds who would be willing to give time and care for the server in the manner that it should. That is… if you are really going to demote or retire some of the Moderators, otherwise I would say keep them if they show greater respect and their quality of service to the Admins. -.-

@panfritz is it all the mods? i thought it was just me :/, i didn’t realize this was a widespread problem.

Well school is taking away from my minecraft time, thats that way it is. My dad is limiting the time i spend on the computer bc i don’t turn in a lot of homework (plz don’t discuss this, thats not the point) but i still receive a’s and b’s in all of my classes (except spanish). I don’t see a problem but my dad does, and my computer time is being reduced, and moderating the server is one of those things that doesn’t always get time in my now limited use of the computer. I would love to play on the server and moderate but i simply do not have time sometimes. I have much much more time on the weekends and if you like i could come on more often on the weekends to help make up time i missed during the week. But if thats not enough, then i’ll peacefully retire, i’ll still come on and make redstone, chat and what not. However, i don’t see this limited use of computer thing my dads doing lasting much more than a month so I likely can be more active in a month, give or take a week. If you want to demote me until i get things figured out thats fine, but i’d prefer not.

I’m not excited to see some staff leave and retire its never fun, but i understand that they do not have enough time dedicate to the server. I would however like to see new staff, its always fun to teach new staff the protocol and commands, as well as to see some new faces around and have chats and essentially making a new friend.

I might retire just because i feel a little burned out, and when I’m feeling better and i have time again i’d love it if you would let me back as a mod.

What I think is the helper rank is a buffer for mods so if a mod retires or gets demoted they should take their place as for all helpers are mod worth since all of them are very trusty so if four mods retire then we have all the helpers we need and more than four mods getting kicked off or resigning I feel won’t happen but that is all the mods and sheep’s thing

@eangough, please: https://www.google.com/#q=run+on+sentence

Stfu you grammar Nazi @hackerthomas

All that matters is you get the point and don’t say you don’t understand it since its not grammatically correct

@eangough, not using commas at the appropriate times would make it not grammatically correct. Also, I do not get your point because my mind gets fucked trying to understand what you are trying to say. Did you know that these following punctuation symbols were invented to put your point across more clearly? ! ? , . ; :

Keep it on topic guys. @hackerthomas you can understand it just fine, just try.

I wonder if anymore of the staff will retire like Hidden and Bit. We shall see. :p

What I’m sacred about this is a trend since there might be major amounts of new helpers. The reason I’m scared of it is that I’ve seen it that at a time members ranked up to builder super easy at a time and I saw this as we rank more people to a rank it just feels that they just keep coming up. This probably won’t happen right now but trusted feels like it’s in a threat. For me to bring this up it just gives a second to thing about this issue in the past.

Please take the time to read what I think about all this, and what can improve. here
