The Current Community and How To Improve It...

Alright, so having to be a member of the MCGamer Network for quite some time, it saddens me to see where the community has grown to its current state. By creating this thread I do not mean to offend anyone in any way and I've decided to create this thread to inform the community members who are not aware of a couple of issues.

First of all, people should not expect the staff team to do everything by themselves, and what I mean by that is pretty much everyone needs to be respectful towards each other in any platform, simply because this is only a game and flame shouldn't be started over pathetic in-game things like deaths or teaming between the community members. Some issues can easily be resolved, for an example, teaming. I think that if we had strict teaming rules, the community would enjoy playing more without dealing with as much stress and rage would be concealed in a better manner where it wouldn't start as much flame. I'd say if we had around 100 servers available on any of the regions (doesn't really matter) we would have 50 of those servers as strict Free For All servers and the other 50 where you would be allowed to team at any time and in any number since some YouTubers or streamers do enjoy having a bit of banter with their viewers (which is completely understandable).

Secondly, the hacker issue on the MCGamer Network cannot be controlled nor resolved only by the MCGamer Network Staff Team. To get over this issue we all need to work together as a whole rather than lying around on our asses waiting for things to get better, where in this case, it actually won't, as quoted here “In teamwork, silence isn’t golden, it’s deadly.” by Mark Sanborn. Blaming the hacker issue on the staff team just adds stress onto the staff team and it makes them irritable, and then they become hesitant if they'd actually would like to continue receiving hate over a rank which is supposed to help the community and servers out. If you do think that a specific member of staff is not doing their job then feel free to message a Sr. Staff member about it and they will deal with them rather than complain about them not doing their job which would not get you anywhere.

We all need to contribute our time and effort into striving to create a better community, relying on other people will not help what so ever. I highly encourage you guys to actually start participating in the clean sweeps hosted by the MCGamer staff team, or you could create your own clean sweeps simply by gathering some friends and going into games to spectate if there are any hackers or rule breakers that need to be dealt with. Then you can actually start seeing the difference that the community made and I assure you if everyone just tries to contribute time and effort in dealing with the rule breakers, MCGamer will return once again to become a triumphant server and regain the fun and enjoyable server that it once was.

I agree on just about everything you said. The Community blames the current state of the server on the Staff Team mostly because we're "not doing anything about the rule breakers" & "not doing our job". Then, when we are doing our job & doing it well, we get hate for "ruining the fun".

I'm sure you know this but not so many people do. Moderator is a volunteer position. We can't catch every hacker that comes onto the server. It helps us out so much when you guys report people or tell us about hackers to spectate :)

You guys can help out by contributing in Cleansweeps & reporting people instead of just complaining about it <3

I liked the thread, but something in there I wanted to address.

"Some issues can easily be resolved, for an example, teaming. I think that if we had strict teaming rules, the community would enjoy playing more without dealing with as much stress and rage would be concealed in a better manner where it wouldn't start as much flame."

1. Teaming is not a problem. It's part of the game. Friends play games with eachother, so there will always be teams.

2. There probably wont be strict rules about teaming, considering its one of the nono suggestions for the server to suggest taking out teaming completely. Now I know that that's not what you were trying to say, but it was seeming to head along that path.

3. Why should MCGamer have to make changes to their server (being strict on teaming, making solo only servers,..) to compensate for poor characteristics of the community. I've seen numerous times on twitter, some of the "popular" sg players tweeting screenshots of stuff such as a broken headset, or a hole in a wall, with captions like, "got mad at mcsg again". I don't see why MCGamer should reward the community with an amazing gametype that I'm sure a solo sg would be, if they're gonna act like that to other players and other teams.


Keep in mind, these are solely my own opinions. I know some of the things I say can or are hypocritcal or an unpopular view of the community, but it's just what I think. Not meant to cause more drama.​

I really agree with this thread... The most part of the community doesnt even bother to help the staff in banning hackers and fixing glitches and making the server better over all and i think people should take a few more minutes from their lives just to help them as it will no hurt or make their lives miserable

TheMCPharaoh, stop complaining and start playing the game. This thread is useless and just brings more drama to this community.

You know it's serious when the reply is almost longer than the thread.
