So, a few suggestions that others have not yet made:

1. Active owners.

No, I don't mean active as is online, but active as in being active with the community. They should let the community know whats up, if they are making any improvements in the coming future, dates for releasing servers, etc. So that everyone doesn't lose hype and quit the server for inactive updating. (No offense, but I have been told by some that they find the server boring due to that reason)

2. Updating all the servers.

Update the servers with: Better kits (balanced I mean, not just brand new names), Better maps (not detailed maps, just balanced maps is all I ask), better plugins that actually work properly (examples of plugins that don't work would be the /warp command in survival). This updating would also include a entire reset for the server, giving everyone a fair advantage.

NOTE: This does follow up my next suggestion.

3. Re-doing the ranks.

As many of you know, I'm against ranks on Mineverse. I don't like pay to win, and I'm a real jerk about. I want to make this plain and simple. Get rid of the OP stuff, and give all players a fair chance. Just because a player can't afford a rank, doesn't mean he must auto die to a Titan in Infection or Skywars.

Now, this is how we fix this:
Don't give Sponsors-Titans kits, give them cosmetic items.
From pets to even facial appearance items (this would require the developers to actually develop a plugin (no offense, but I'm not seeing anything original from the plugin section). Also, just give them the title in-game with "titan <Name>" along with cosmetics. No need to give them OP gear to wrekt the so called "scrubs" of the server. No need to give them gear that they can only receive (being that the gear is unobtainable in Minecraft logic). This also goes with 2. which means all the gear that people had in their vaults from the ranks will be gone. Thus, giving everyone a equal footing. The only way you could have an advantage over the opposing player would be being more prepared than him gear wise (or pvp wise).

4. Moderator rework.

I'm not saying re-do the entire rank system, but at least take into consideration fo what other servers have done. I'd say split the moderator rank into multiple ranks, keeping the system secure. Meaning, the moderators who might betray the server later on, won't exist as much. I'm not saying they won't get hacked (that's on the website's fault anyway) but the people who actually betray, won't appear as much theoretically. The way I'm thinking this system is this:

-Head Moderator (being the top rank of the moderator system)

The head moderator will be basically like it is right now, but having more commands. Commands such as /v /gamemode creative and the other commands they have at the moment. Now, the requirement for being head moderator would be:
-Having been Senior Moderator for at least 2 years. This ensures the person is fully committed to the server. They have full knowledge of how the server works.
-Have submitted a application to Cypriot personally,
To mods:
***Hidden content cannot be quoted.***
-Senior Moderators.

Senior Moderators are essentially Moderators that have been on the server as mod for at least 1 year. This means they should have full knowledge of how the server works and their commands/duties. Basically they have all the commands mods have today, except they have permission to do /v. They also can /ban which will permanently ban players. They also have permission to /mute which will permanently mute players. Being promoted to this rank requires moderators to make a application (if they are junior moderators) in the application section of the forums.

SIDE NOTE:
The application forums will be cut into sections.
When you click on the section you will be given three choices:
Helper Applications
Junior Moderator Applications
Senior Moderator Applications

The reason players will publicly be able to view applications for JR and SR moderators is because they may have advice or suggestions for that moderator. Meaning the player might feel as though the moderator isn't ready for this role for certain reasons (same as applications today).

-Junior moderators.

Junior moderators are essentially server moderators. they do the exact same thing global moderators do, but just on one server each. They have all perms that SR mod has, except for /ban /v and /mute. They can only temp ban and temp mute. They cannot vanish but they do have /god and /fly.
Requirements for this rank would be to have been a Helper rank for at least 6 months. This theoretically makes sure the helper is 100% committed to the server as a Moderator. They also have to create a application applying for JR moderator.

-Helpers.

I know what you might be thinking. Cypriot doesn't want helper rank. However, I propose a statement. Just because we copy a way of how a popular server does rank system, doesn't mean were copy cats. Now if we did everything a popular server did the exact same way they did them, then yes we are copy cats. Having helper rank is not a bad idea. It lessens the troll moderators and betrayers that might lurk in the shadows of global moderators. In the past, Cypriot has trusted moderators with great power over the span of a year and some have betrayed him. Having this rank tells us how they handle that much power even though it might not be that much.
Helper rank will have Permission to:
/Tempmute for up to 1 day.
/Tempban for up to 1 day, if the ban requires more than 12 hours, they should contact a JR moderator who can ban for more than 1 day.

Even though that is all they can do, its a lot of power not to abuse and tests whether or not the player is worthy of the job. This also means, we can promote more people rapidly and see if (say promote 6 helpers at a time) those selected people are worthy of a moderator role.

Now, the reason behind all this nonsense I just suggested. Head Moderators having Creative gives them the ability to help players who lost items (with evidence of course) through bugs or scams. Giving them creative and not the other ranks, makes sure people don't abuse it. I'm not saying they won't abuse it, but it lessens the chance of them abusing it by only letting the head moderators with /creative. Senior moderators having /v gives them the ability to Vanish in front of hackers, giving them a easier way to ban hackers. The reason why JR Moderators do not have /v is due to abuse possibilities. 6 months is not too long and once that helper is or if he/she is promoted, we don't know how much power he/she could abuse. Limiting down the power a player can abuse if he/she must do, limits the destruction he/she can cause. Player feedback also gives Cypriot the more information on that moderator, helper, etc. and how much he/she deserves that promotion.

5. Builder/Developer Rework

I love our builders, I also love our developers we have had. However, some have too much power in the server I think. For example, we just recently lost a builder over abuse in power, how can we fix this? Simple, take away the power they have.

Builder.

The sole purpose of having a builder is for him to make maps, plugins, etc. I can only assume we have a server dedicated for building that kind of stuff. Therefore, only let the builder have permissions in that server. Make the builder rank just like you and I. No, commands such as /creative, no commands that could cause greifing, and no commands that could make his base OP. The only the player could betray the server in-game would be by griefing a non-public server where the player can do whatever he/she wants.

Developer.

The Developer is really there just to develop ideas or maps or anything that could help the server grow. Now, we pay him to do just that. Therefore, he should only be allowed to do just that. Commands that he might have that are the same as a global moderator should be taken away so that we don't have to worry too much. Only allow the person to install plugins that you allow (directed to Cypriot there). The only command I can think of that would be safe and not so awesome people would abuse would be /fly. /fly would be useful for looking at maps after they are installed (though I would made sure the map is 100% ready before launch).

In conclusion, my suggestions really cause a giant update to the server, and will keep the server going through the hard times we are going through at the moment (with the 1.9 update and the EULA Crisis). If you have any opinions about my comment, please quote it, I want to hear your opinion about it. I also, kinda support 1-10 of all the suggestions made so far, because they kinda support my suggestions as well.

Also, another side note. Please don't take this to offense if I offended any of the staff. Take this as constructive criticism, please. I'm not saying anyone will be, but if anyone is, please don't. Thanks.

So many Suggestions...

Love it

Jesse234106 · May 21, 2016

A lot of good ideas
can't decide between them all
chosen the best

Teddy · May 22, 2016

I support all of them apart from 9.

Krissy · May 22, 2016

The solution is to simply understand two people run a bunch of servers and things will move slower.
The improvements need to be done server by server and will take a while to get to a point there are the least amount of glitches.
in the mean times things goes wrong almost everywhere else on the server too.
Its not easy.
Most ideas are valid.
