The thing is once someone has broken the trust between staff and the player by breaking the rules, it is hard to gain the trust back. Same goes for real life; when you break a law you don't get to be a police officer.

I totally understand where you're coming from. From what Elsa said, "The past is in the past." BUT Moderators are players who never have hacked, and where players turn to if they need assistance. The rank of mod would go down, if they allow people who have hacked to be mod because then people would look at them and think that it is okay to hack the first time since they're going to get a second chance. I do agree that everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance, but becoming a mod would just decrease the mod status. Moderators are supposed to be role models for the community. You wouldn't want a mod who has hacked in the past. That just wouldn't make sense. You don't even need the Mod rank to catch hackers. If you just continue catching hackers then you're doing as much for the community as the Mods. Just my opinion :)

Sorry but I completely disagree with this. Hacking has a very detrimental impact to the MCSG community, people are fully aware that hacking is unfair yet they do it anyway. If MCSG were to accept people who have previously hacked before, they would become a joke. It's a massive contradiction. And will never be likely to be changed because it's so significant.

I disagree, It's common sense not to use hacked clients on servers

Go ahead and see how much love you get for attempting to moderate without the rank. Yes, you can report players, but it's nothing like the real thing.

I see it happen every day - trying to moderate without the rank isn't worth it and causes more drama than anything else.
I didn't mean by mini-modding. Don't confront them, just report them, and avoid as much drama as possible. You don't need praise to do the right thing...

I personally think people with bans and only 1 offense should be allowed to become moderator. I got banned once on MCGamer, and I can't apply for mod anyone. I was on a 61 game loosing streak and I convinced myself hacking was the thing to do. I got one game played, and got banned right after. I learned my lesson pretty quickly! I think people like us, like I wrote in my ban dispute (who):"I have a clean record on every other major server, and a 10 on MCBans." I understand people like us can't apply for good reason, but I think the typical noobish hacker stereotype is a major factor in mod apps and bad disputes. Staff assumes that hackers are bad people and should be shunned. Whatever happens regarding the issue, I'll continue to support MCGamer and continue reporting hackers, spammers, and advertisers. Let's hope Chad sees the 14 pages of conversation and reconsiders the issue. I think hackers should be treated like underage applicants when applying. Always under high standards and being monitored. Hopefully we can bring a good reform and change to MCGamer. Well, I've shared my 2 cents.
Cheers,

If you resorted to hacking in the first place, then how would that make you qualified to be a moderator. Its always about having a good first impression. If they see that you got banned for hacking, they're going to find someone else who hasn't.

You have your opinions I have mine, that's mine, and I explained it pretty clearly.

As I've said before; there are members with bans I trust much more than some staff to make moderation decisions.
