Hey guys, iWhqle, Devuu_, BubbyStank, or iiLime_ here. I have been noticing some flaws in our staff lately. I'm not going to name names, however I will talk about each position. Our current helpers do a great job, infact some of the best. I have noticed some have slacked off a bit, and not really responded to, too many msg's or been "very chat active." As a helper they mostly guard what goes on in chat. I do believe certain helpers do this very well, however I have seen some ignore most things going on in chat. Next is moderator. I see the moderators working even harder. However, there is one mod in particular that has been out of it recently and has not been active what so ever. Inactivity is not only what I am going on about, it is how they treat situations. Hackers, they do a great job, chat patrol, great job. When it comes to "helping" They aren't very sweet about things, they reply in a rude manner and I feel as if it is offending some players. I do believe doing their job is a priority of being staff, but being staff is to be respectful and have a fun environment, some mods do not bring that as I have been seeing in game. Now on to Admins. Now in my opinion admins are the best staff currently. They do the best work and are the most helpful and joyful to be around. Not to mention they are loyal to the server, and I do not have much to say to criticize them, however I do not see either on too much. Now, last but not least Owner. I know, there is only one owner, however I could have a long conversation over Phil and Tom, and who was better. Most people say Phil is better and has better decisions towards the server. Yes I do agree with this, however Tom was fair. I don't want to bring Vamp's ban in to this however, banning him for "You're no longer welcome here" Is complete bull crap. Tom, understood and gave others second chances. Phil is fun, but doesn't do events like Tom did. Tom nor Phil were/are active. I mean the owner is the main part of the server. It is what keeps it alive, leads it in the right direction. Neither of them have done a great job. They both slacked in areas. I love most staff on this server, but not all, due to the lack of respect they have for doing their job. It doesn't matter if staff has poor internet. There is no excuse, we need staff according to how they are doing and how players react to them. If they are not capable they shouldn't be chosen. I am not hating anyone, just saying what I see and maybe telling them they need to improve certain things as I listed in each staff category. Players opinions should really be taken in to consideration over staff considering we see/do most things. I can't wait to hear peoples thoughts on this post and what people think about the current staff. Thanks! - iiLime_/BubbyStank/Devuu_/iWhqle
I see you skipped over Head-Mod </3 I personally wouldn't mind seeing a critique on that. Not seeing people on most of the time is due to time zone differences, and some deal with personal problems in the real world. The whole Vamp thing, he had a second chance, he was warned to change his behavior which he didn't and that was the outcome.
At the end of the day it's just a video game and we're all here just wasting time. They do enough to satisfy me so I'm not complaining.
Yes I did skip over head - mod infact head-mods I see on the most, they are just like admins, one of the best. Right next to admin. Haven't seen many flaws. HAving real world problems, is just not acceptable, they bring it in the game and are inactive, isn't fair to players to witness it and make the staff feel like they have to get on. Time difference I see.
Now I have a couple of things to say about this post. First off, I would argue that helpers do the best job as staff in general, doing there specific jobs at least. Our helpers are the most active out of the staff, and are generally very friendly. Now for the owner part. I have to say that I don't even have to debate it in my head, I think Phil is the better owner. Phil picks better staff I think, is more willing to give second chances, and contributes more to the server. You saying that Tom was more fair, I think that statement is bull crap. Honestly except for 1 staff member I am thinking of in particular, I think that all of our staff do a great job. Im sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, but I think that Miner and TheTurtleAndrew are the best staff members of the server. Followed closely by phil, asean, and canal. To be fair though, our server has better than average staff. But anyway, Super out!
I've lost respect for both owners, helpers are the most active yes, and very respectful. We all have our own opinions, and see them differently.
So for example; If my grandfather was sick and I had to take care of him or if i need to focus more on school. That's an invalid excuse to take a few days break?
Bubby I don't agree with you in most parts of this post as they were incorrect but some things are very true. Lets start with the things that at true or slightly true Such as what the ranks of staff do, we all have our jobs and power Some people are not on often but you also have to factor in that sometimes they are on while you are not But where you were incorrect span very much more than where you were You stated that the mods treated that players rudely, that is in fact, that is because the player either show little to no cooperation or they are very rude (The player) so the staff must act upon them to respond quickly or it will get out of hand The Admins and later you mentioned Head-Mods, they are working around the clock sometimes in Vanish, finding hackers and people that could make your experience on BF a lot worse That also goes for The Owner, Phil he is working on behind the scenes to fix bugs, make things balance, even new additions to the server to make it a better place to play! On touching on the Vamp situation, he was given multiple warnings to change but refused to do so And Kat's example is an excellent one, people have lives outside of BF and MC and must tent to them, we cannot get on 24/7
Well, taking a "few days break" is not going to be enough to cover those things, or anything else personal. Either warn us or just resign. Not fair to have inactive staff when instead we can get new ones
So you're saying that if a relative is sick, or you are sick for any reason. No internet or even computer issues the list can go on for hours. Most staff members that are having an issue in the real world notify one of the head staff members and it's perfectly normal for someone to take a break from a game when having problems. Let me ask you this.. Would you rather people that are having a hard time or troubles come on and not be their selves and ruin the experience for players. In total making players leave because the member of staff that is having problems isn't 100% mentally maybe even physically, being rude or short tempered. I myself think if someone is having a problem in the real world should take a break and work it out before coming to the server and not being 100% in the right mind set.
Turtle, working behind the scenes is done when others are off or when there aren't others on that need help. When there is little staff on and they can not take care of things in game, it isn't fair to us. Back to the Mod thing aswell, People do not get out of hand with mods, infact I am very kind to them, but when I need help they just have a negative tone towards me and I can see it towards other players.
You guys are focusing to much on the fact that I am criticizing them. I am trying to like all staff but when I get a negative vibe of some, or an un helpful influence it is hard, so I go to criticizing them over how they do, so they get better, as a player I have the right to do this. Most staff do their jobs exceptionally well. I am just trying to help the ones that don't improve. But it is hard when people don't take any criticism and think they are perfect...
If you keep replacing people, the best will be used up and their experience will be useless, not being effective when you keep throwing out staff, more time will be used picking staff than the staff actually being offline
Bubbles, reset 10 is coming out soon and do you think it sets itself up? My bet is that Phil and some higher staff members are working a lot on that.
When I say this I am not saying others could be better, nor am I saying I could be the best staff. Just giving tips and what I see as a player who plays many hours on this server.
I see where you are coming from, however you need to replace staff that cannot handle the job. We are losing staff due to these reasons.
