»Criticism of the Guildcraft Staff Requirments

Survival has a good staff team tho *cough cough except @WAR Corporation cough cough*

 

lol I got banned while being staff and didn't get it back a month later so it's certainly not everyone xD

 

damn I love reading this shit

 

Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends?

 

Still people who's younger is more vournable to negative influence from f.e people who's older that wants staff. You respect older people most of the time, therefore having head admins that's 17 or maybe 18+ isn't a bad idea.

Dunno if you were here in 2015/16ish but the head admins was a lot older and, no offense, better. There's nothing to hide about that really, but the server has, as already mentioned, lost a lot of players which also affects the staff team. But that doesn't make promoting 14yr old head admins a last resort, does it?

In addition, having underage staff breaks your own requirments, which i already mentioned before..

 

dude im constantly told to just warn or let sev1 or sev.2 things go cause at this point fac has a whole different set of rules now.

oof rite forgot about the hacking staff who claims he didnt know he was hacking

 

lesser players means that theres only a few choice on whom to hire so ...

 

It's just that younger people tend to abuse more and get peer-pressured into doing something faster than people that are older than them.

 

A part of issuing a thread consisting of constructive criticism is to not mention individuals by name, atleast when the criticism is pointed at their current position.

Doing that is not only unprofessional but it can also cause false facts since there's more than likely other similiar cases.

 

Sorry for giving concrete examples to support my constructive criticism.... If they want to get these issues fixed they gotta find the source/s of the problem/s, otherwise there's no point in making this thread.

It wouldn't be smart to make a thread with constructive criticism aimed at the server, without actual examples and proof, the criticism wouldnt have any foundation.

 

It's up to the owner and the staff team to find these individuals, I'm just pointing it out.

I was staff for a year on this server, when it was at it's peak, which i think makes me qualified to comment on how i would react to different situations out of my experience from that year, where i had different head admins at different subservers.

 

Great, then change the requirments. Eventhough him/her is a good mod/admin/ha they're still underage according to the actual requirments..

 

Exactly what Henry said. Although he may be a good and hard working head-admin, image is the most important, and knowing that the minimum age is 15 according to the what so called "requirements" and he doesn't meet it, makes no sense and could somewhat damage the server's image. So that's why I honestly think the age should be lowered to 13 or 14, because hey this isn't a company or something where you need to have an actual minimum age to work there, this is just a minecraft server, the community is based around 13-14 year olds.
So to clear misunderstandings, why not just lower the staff age requirement to 13 or 14, because the fact that it's 15 doesn't make sense at all and we all know it.

 

A previously permbanned individual just got mod again.

This thread is becoming more and more relevant for every promotion..

 

All right, after having read this through, I have a couple things to say. The first of which being that I cannot speak for anyone else so all this is just from my point of view. Now onto the actual points I wish to make. The age requirement thing has been a shady topic for a longer time than just recently. When the age requirement was still 14 and I was still 13, I applied 2x and said in the app that I was indeed still 13. Eventually I did get staff (on SB) after papaboom128 had talked to aXed about the age thingy, which was the onlu thing stopping me from getting mod in those apps. Although by the time I got mod I would turn 14 the month after, even I was still 13 when I got mod. And looking back at it, yes I have grown as a person and have become more mature and I am able to deal with certain situations bettet than I could have before. So yes, someone who is 16 (as I am now) would most likely be more qualified for a (higher) staff position than a 13 year old, although a 13 year old doesnt have to necessarily be unfit for the job by definition. Other than that, I do think that for a demanding position such as head-admin, there should be some guidance in how it is handled. Now as I said before I can't speak for others and I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but there should be a sort of assigned mentor for new head-admins. This might already be, but there should just be a sort of period in which the up and coming head admin will be granted permissions somewhat, but will be supervised by a more experienced head-admin, along the lines how a promotion to admin is right now, but far more extensively.

About the demoted/banned and being repromoted. I was demoted by AsyFrost about a year ago, I decided to take a break for about 10 months or so. After that I decided to come back to GC and look where I am now, back in my old position. Nothing wrong with that right? Especially given the vague circumstances of my demotion. However, if a player is currently banned not only should he be unfit for violation of server rules, he is also unfit due to the lack of meeting the requirement of clean history.

Any (constructive) criticism is welcomed

10 months is a healthy period, but getting repromoted 1 month after get banned/demoted is just nonsense. And yes, there's individual/s.
