Why do you think other servers a flourishing? Why? They have a variety of staff. Our staff is mod, that's it. There should be helper, admin, SrMod. There is 2 people in charge right now. That is no where near enough. skyblock.net a server with 500 people has more mods than us. What is this? Who are you to say no new staff ranks?
maybe you should suggest staff ranks like helper, srmod, admin etc you're the head mod, some of the power is your hands. you could change the whole server. act like you're the student council :>
To the people who have taken the time out of their days to read and or leave feedback in regards to this situation, I thank you sincerely. It means a lot that this thread has gained so much support in just a mere 2 days. :D I've only been apart of this community for about 21 days now or so, and I can already see there are many obvious problems Mineverse have remained unattended for sometime now. The fact that the Staff Team is overstretched by itself is a huge red flag by itself. The way Mineverse is run now would be perfectly proficient, but for a small server only. Mineverse has grown since 2013, now with a daily populace of up to 800-1000 players who seek enjoyment out of this server. Yet each day they are greeted by hackers, spammers, and all sorts of rule breakers that plague the server like a disease. The staff team we have now cannot remain the way it is, no. Not only is it overwhelmed, but it is heavily weakened due to school and other factors. We need more than just the simple addition of staff members for this community. We need a completely overhaul of how the staff Team is run on here. For too long Mineverse has stuck to its old ways, and look where it has finally ended us all. For too long I have seen the frustration within players and staff alike for having to be greeted by other players who wish to exploit the rules. @CypriotMerks and @Noobcrew may be aware of this issue, but how long do they expect to wait while their server is swarmed with a plague that may very well ruin MV's reputation as a clean MC community? This is an issue that direly needs attention and needs a resolution. If most of the suggestions I have posted in this very thread were implemented into the server we all love, than tremendous amounts of change would occur. Not only would this minuscule staff team see relief, but the server overall would improve heaps. With more staff the community will remain more clean as more staff would be online, and the frequency of which these rule breakers ruining the fun for others would dramatically increase. The Staff Team will become more strong, more organized, and in total would most certainly benefit every corner of this community. With these changes will come the further growth of Mineverse as a community in total. This is why I won't stop until at least some form of action is taken against the problem. This thread is not meant to bash the staff, but rather give voice to the frustrations of both players and staff alike. How are the staff meant to do their jobs properly when there aren't even enough staff apart of this community? The answer is they can't. This is why I believe the suggestions I have made are most logical. This is why I also believe these changes need to happen.
People get promoted when seen fit by the Owner/Co-Owner. These type of threads happen all the time. Nothing really changes with them being made either. As for other ranks such as helper? No. They just don't need to be. Helper: Someone who helps people with their questions. - Normal players can do that, ANYONE can do that. A rank isn't needed to represent someone who can answer questions.
Thanks for the feedback. Hmm. Do you know why there are so many threads posted in regards of this all? Because its a reoccurring issue that still remains unattended. It's frustrating to know that the server is swarmed daily by rule-breakers, yet the staff team is too weakened to be effective. So, because players have expressed their frustrations so many times means change won't occur? What does that say to you. And no. When I was a helper I not only answered questions, but kicked and muted spammers and learnt the fundamentals of being staff. Helpers are trained by the higher-ups to do their job properly as staff, and when the higher-ups feel it is necessary then they deserve a promotion. Every single server I have been on has this system implemented, and it works just fine. So why is Mineverse an exception?
Every helper thread I see is different, with their permissions and such. Maybe if it was implemented, would it be like a trial-mod type thing? If so, then I would support it. I believe there are plenty of mods, but they are not active enough. That's the real issue.
In my thread, I clearly expressed this. Helpers are practically trial mods as you said. This server desperately needs it. I have played on this server for 3 weeks, and have only seen 2 online. The staff themselves express there's a heavy lacking of staff. My thread was created to actually make change, not be stuffed to the side simply because there were many before it. These suggestions could vastly improve this server for the better. :P
I could agree with you. More staff would hopefully mean more active staff. If it works out, then yes. Do it. Promotion of more staff, active staff needs to happen. Personally, I think the mods should try and be in-game for at least 1-4 hours everyday. 1 hour a day is minimum of what I see as worthy, but saying that. Their activity on the forums too, in doing reports and such needs to stay to a higher percentile.
In full honesty, I don't know how much longer the owners expect the server to remain stable at this rate.
Honestly? It's working fine for now. I'll just say this, as my final post on here; More mods won't hurt, it will hopefully boost activity.
Suuuuport. We have quite a few Mods, but the problem is that some lack quality. Don't get me wrong, we have a few amazing mods, but the rest don't seem to be active. I understand some timezone problems, so I'm not addressing the moderators with a differing time zone. As for the rest, I love how they all put "Active" in their applications, when obviously that isn't the case.
I'm really glad that this thread has been able to last this long. It's nice seeing the community not always flame c:
Exactly the point of my thread The whole purpose of this thread is to bring together both the staff and players, and hopefully eventually bring about some much needed change
I know I gave you my support all ready. So this would be more support. I think this it's a wonderful thread and I see in you a future mod of this servers. Yes you will be a good one I know that.
