If you're not on 24/7, I have no idea why you say they haven't caught anyone. I will have some of them post their ban logs, if you would like. :p
When PandaBear__, Chloyy, Vamesa and Christi were staff there was definitely more done about hackers. One of the only staff that actually records anymore is @fryzigg, to me the rest just tell you to "record and report it on the forums", because I forgot it was our job to, not their's, right? They're called Moderators, they're supposed to moderate and deal with situations, not force players to or else nothing will be done.
I agree, when they were here it was... "better." On the side of comparison, please realize that there are barely any good applicants... I mean, aside from being friends with some of the applicants, I can't see all of the popular applicants being good staff. Once there is a new Head-Mod, maybe that'll be fixed. People just need to be patient for now.
It's not the fact that there aren't good applicants, it's the fact that the popular ones get more good feedback and seem like better applicants than those who would actually fit the position.
I know. I never said we have the best Moderators, I just said currently; Mineverse is doing fine STATISTIC wise. I would like a couple few more experienced Moderators. I'm sure some former Mods want to return. :P
Never said they wouldn't, but it's a joke if you think some default is getting Head-Mod immediately, this server needs quite a bit of change. Now maybe you'll see why I said it's doing poorly in some aspects. The number of people in a community is the statistic, the community however, is not.
The community makes people look bad on their mod apps. I'm not even joking, some people who just don't even know who they're talking about go out of their way to make people look bad. I don't know how you would know who's a good applicant and who isn't - I've only seen you in game once in a few months. As for the forums, you're active but there isn't much to see.
I've had a lot of experience with applications. I don't even look at what other people think on applications, because I don't care. There's no reason to care when it's all biased. The community used to be better, I cannot lie to you on that one. I remember the old community, and if it was still that; I would've never resigned. Due to knowing Merkz and being experienced.
He was experienced and Cypriot clearly worked out a deal with him beforehand. It takes a lot of dedication to become the head of staff, a lot of experience on THIS server and a lot of time spent getting to know the community.
I am pointing out a fact. Crew or merkz may know a friend who has the potential to be a head mod but never applied.
I'm just saying nobody, no matter how experienced, is going to go from being a regular player to being a Head-Mod. Even some of the most dedicated staff on this server's history could never have earned head-mod, the fact that somebody earned Global-Mod(Which was basically just Moderator with more servers to accompany it) isn't that much of a shock, seeing as he knew Merkz and was a former MP mod.
