Suggestions From The Community!

[Imanol]

But rly, a clan event could be done as a side thing rather than the main new thing. Let's say it could be done from the community and some mods that are WILLING to do it, while the devs and everyone else's working on the dueling system. So both important things happen together. I'm pretty sure this is top priority, or really, the only thing that should be done. Commands and community events aren't rly needed. We already have some community events.

It's not just about the gamemode man, if we didn't have a community in the first place we wouldn't be here today. We have to worry more about the players and the community, get their suggestions and ideas, but the clan community is a big thing in MCSG, it's been around since I first started playing back in 2012. A clan event is really needed to bring back the aspect of clans and such. Also how do you know the dueling system is gonna happen? It may be named as the most voted gamemode suggested but it will be basically copying Badlion and Kohi. So I believe they wouldn't add it unless they try a new way to do it

This post is just a copy & paste from another thread that I feel as if it fits here. It's not about the gamemodes and stuff but more focused towards the staff.

The staff team is far from perfect, every server's staff is and there's really no way for a staff team to be perfect, there will always be flaws in each one. MCGamer's Staff is currently people that join the forums a month beforehand, most likely they don't even have 100 messages, and they're people no one has ever seen before. This is the one of the many problems it has right now, the hiring process.

I've heard that some mods actually consider MCGamer somewhat of a job. Understandable in my point of view and if they do consider it a job, it should be somewhat treated like one. In the real world, when you apply for a job, you'll hand in your resume with a list of where you studied, what you did beforehand, etc. This resume is basically the written application to becoming a moderator as well as the activity this player has on this server, teamspeak, and the forums, something, especially the forums that has not been looked at too well. It doesn't look good when there's a mod and he's only been on the forums for a month or so with few to none messages. It creates a distrust between the players and the staff. While I do realize that it shouldn't matter when they join, it's still good to see mods that have been on the forums since early 2015 or 2014. Matter two of this subject is basically, their messages. Of course quality is over quantity in any matter, but it's displeasing as well to see mods under 100 messages. Adding on, it doesn't look too good as well because it shows that they may not be that active overall because of this.

Moving forward, Moderators in hubs. I'm not sure if this is still a thing, but many many Moderators go AFK in hubs. At most times, this is a mistake many people do and it's understandable as well. Though because of these mistakes, people are mislead by their eyes that Moderators are

• Not responding to their requests.
• Lazy and wishes not to help anyone.
• Have no care for the server they moderate on.

This is definitely not true, I'm quite sure I can say that most if not all of the moderators deeply care for this server which is why they applied in the first place, but it's these tiny actions that give the community a different eye on them instead. It would be very beneficial if the developers would be able to create a plugin that automatically kicks players out of hubs when they're AFK for too long, especially for moderators so that people don't tend to get the wrong idea of them.

Teamspeak, besides going into the hub to request a moderator's help, this is another way and more efficient/beneficial in my opinion. By going on teamspeak, you're able to poke any moderator who is currently available so that you can receive the help you need. Of course there is some needed improvements here as well, many of the Moderators tend to go on there and play games such as CS:GO, League of Legends, etc. Because of this, some don't respond to pokes when they are poked leaving the wrong impression on them yet again. While there isn't a magical solution to fix this, all I ask is that Moderators pay more attention while they're talking to one of their friends.

So my last suggestion; human responses. Why is it that some moderators are more favored than others? Well, they don't make some of the mistakes I mentioned above, they might be from 2012-2013 making them quite a veteran, or they actually make human responses. It's irritating to see a Moderator repeat the same thing over and over again.
i.e. "Please do not flood the chat." "Please do not spam the chat." "Please do not the chat."

It's irritating and just overall annoying to see this over and over again, we'd much rather you guys interact with the community while giving out warnings. It's refreshing to chat with a mod, see how they're doing, etc. By doing this, not only do you erase the impression that all Moderators are robots, but you create a more interactive community in-game as well as a more respectful community just by interacting with others. I've said it already, but it's just really annoying to see some Moderators acting uptight and above others. My word of advice, chill, you don't have to act so professional, there are times when you have to, but remember, this is a block game, don't just go in the hub and act like this stern poophead everyone will end up hating, interact with the community while doing your job. It's something you don't see that often anymore, just by saying "What's up guys?" or "How's everyone's day been?" will make the community feel more relaxed and safer.

One last analogy referring to the above; does anyone like a strict parent? No of course not, we want to have fun. Be one of those people who knows how to have fun and strict or professional when needed, don't be so uptight all the time or else you'll end up as that one party-pooper.




Dear Lord, how much did I write...

IM A MINI MOD AND DID NOT COMPLETELY READ THIS POST BUT MODS DO THEIR BEST AND THEY DO THE MOST THAT THEY CANT DONT HATE ON MODS

Dear Lord, how much did I write...

The first thing I want to say is that of course every servers staff team isn't perfect, when people picture perfect they think the mods know how to do their job, and of course we don't that's why we are trained in order to follow all the procedures and help out. Even if you would pick a server like Badlion, Mineplex, Hypixel, all of their staff teams may not be perfect, but at least they try to help out and resolve the community to be a more productive place and peaceful. People expect us to be perfect humans, which of course we aren't but please we still try our best to succeed and that's the best we can do. If we have faith that we do a good job, we get taught and trained on how to do our job and not do it wrong. You've been on the staff team before, you know how it feels to be hated on by the community, and now you are here now hating on us when you were in this position before and know how we handled every situation.

The hiring process I believe is professional and comfortable, people expect that it is easy to get staff on the server, all the time I hear "I can easily get staff on MCSG, it's not hard". To me it was pretty rough, you may act like since you were a staff member before you know everything there was and you have no flaws to being accepted again, this is completely false. Of course you don't know when you're going to be denied or accepted, promoted or demoted. It's all up to the people that give you the position and job, and that's the Senior Staff + Administration. The hiring process I fell is like a regular job resume and interview, when you apply and get interviewed it is like doing it at a regular job, it gives you an experience that will help you out in the future. I feel like this was a amazing choice, because I feel like since I passed, I could possibly have a shot in real life at applying for a job, and that's what I did and I passed it!

One thing I kinda agree with you is that maybe you could be a little active in the community and the server, maybe you joined really early, but you feel like you could give a big hand to the staff team and help out. That's what is basically going through the person's mind, "oh I feel like I can help out a ton, I've had experience in the past I know how to make a application and everything!", if they have gone through this stage before and know how to apply and make a wonderful helping hand on the job, than by far means let the person do it. It doesn't matter if they joined today and applied, if the Senior Staff think the application is great, well passing other applications, really well written and explained throughout, than they might as well try it out and pass him along the staged of being a staff member. Everyone applying want's to help out of course.

• 1. Respond to the players, interact with them, treat them kindly and not rude hearted. Treat everyone with respect and of course they will back to the moderator, it's not that we are lazy, they could be dealing with more than one situation at the moment they are being asked for help, cause I've been through the situation in the past. Players are always needing help on the server, and we always try to respond back but we have other issues to act upon and deal with.
• 2. Do your job and not be inactive throughout your position as a staff member, every staff member knows that you have to be active every day to not get in trouble. We aren't "Lazy" we all care about the players request and what they need, but sometimes it get's out of hand and that moderator can't do 5 things at the same time.
• 3. "Have no care for the server" Of course we all care about helping out and caring out the server. We all ban hackers everyday and punish players for everything else you can get in trouble for, as I said before you were a staff member and you've dealt with experiences likes this in the past. So you know the feeling of having 2 players requesting you at the same time. If the moderator is dealing with another situation at the same exact time, than no need to throw a fit, just message another staff member that isn't busy at the same moment. It isn't a hard feeling to go through, don't be childish and rant that we don't care at all and we are just here for the rank because that is all false!

About the kicking players from the server plugin, I feel like that wouldn't be needed at all, first of all if a staff member goes AFK in the server they probably have a reason for doing so. They could of course be dealing with a Teamspeak or Forums situation at the same exact moment, they were told to not be AFK in the hub, if they did something could happen because players could be breaking the rules while they're just sitting their gone from the computer. It wouldn't make a big impact because players don't go AFK for hours and hours in the day, they most likely get called by their parents to help out for a couple minutes, it could be a waste of money to introduce this plugin when most players leave the server anyway when they have to leave. In other words I feel like this wouldn't be beneficial at all!

One response I can say to this is that whenever a moderator is playing another game they should be making private channels with DND [Do Not Disturb] on them. Of course players still poke them even though there's a list of Moderator Channels, Senior Staff Channels, above the player on the teamspeak. Than they argue on the fact that the moderator is ignoring the player when they truly aren't, because they are playing their other game. When there are mods in DND channels they most likely will respond and most likely won't, but we were told even if we are doing something else other than minecraft we still have to help out with the situation or you can redirect the player to another staff member that can help out more quicker than they can.

Staff aren't Favorited in the staff team, we all get along and work together to help out with any situation's that we are needed in. It's not like we all hail a king in the Staff team, even though we have to listen to our superiors and do our correct job. Moderators do interact with the server, for example whenever I join the server I say "Hey guys!" "Hey guys how are you doing?", It's not like we don't care about our players to not interact with them and just ignore them for the whole time we are there. I am not sure what server you player on but we always interact with the chat, whenever we basically enforce the warning's to players we do say that, but we feel like that is a professional way to say that to the rule breakers. We won't say "Hey dude, don't spam the chat" nor "Stop spamming the chat or I WILL BAN YOU" it's not like we are saying that, because if we did it would be completely unprofessional and will make the staff look bad xD.

Of course you can say by interacting with the community we can make the community a more peaceful place, and of course we always interact with them. Especially with all the wonderful, exciting, fun events that make make/host for the whole server to enjoy participating in. Even when we do interact with the server/community we still get negative feedback plus, insults and harmful words directed back towards us! I plan on helping out more in interacting and making more events, so we can make the community realize that we actually care about everyone and not just our server and ourselves!

Even if this is a "block" game we still have to act professional and do our job correct and how we are told. Everyone likes having funny in the hub/lobby's but sometimes it's taken a little too far and start's to be a hate, harmful, playing around and the players can get punished for doing so. We sometimes want to have fun but some events happen that could be tragic, it's not that we are acting "powerful" and "uptight", it's that we still have to enforce the rules and do our job of course!

This is quite possibly the longest, but best reply to someone I have ever seen done by a staff member, like dang. You said pretty much what I would have said, only like 20 times as long, so I'm not gonna bother replying with what I'm gonna say lmao.

The staff team is far from perfect, every server's staff is and there's really no way for a staff team to be perfect, there will always be flaws in each one. MCGamer's Staff is currently people that join the forums a month beforehand, most likely they don't even have 100 messages, and they're people no one has ever seen before. This is the one of the many problems it has right now, the hiring process.

The only issue I'm addressing is that most of the current staff members are now people who joined the forums one month beforehand with an extremely low amount of messages, of course they're all good people at heart I'm assuming but it's discomforting to the community when we see a staff member that's only been on the forums for a few weeks. I'm not trying to create any hate towards the staff team, it's just that what many moderators used to call the MCSG Staff Team a "second family" it feels more separated than it ever has.

The hiring process I believe is professional and comfortable, people expect that it is easy to get staff on the server, all the time I hear "I can easily get staff on MCSG, it's not hard". To me it was pretty rough, you may act like since you were a staff member before you know everything there was and you have no flaws to being accepted again, this is completely false. Of course you don't know when you're going to be denied or accepted, promoted or demoted. It's all up to the people that give you the position and job, and that's the Senior Staff + Administration. The hiring process I fell is like a regular job resume and interview, when you apply and get interviewed it is like doing it at a regular job, it gives you an experience that will help you out in the future. I feel like this was a amazing choice, because I feel like since I passed, I could possibly have a shot in real life at applying for a job, and that's what I did and I passed it!

I'm going to state my opinion but I do feel as if the hiring process is quite easier now. I feel as if anyone can join the forums, apply for moderator, and get it. That's what I feel, keyword 'feel'. It's obviously not like this with the interviews and applications I hope, but to the community, the amount of unrecognizable people receiving moderator feels as if anyone can get moderator. Also concerning me, I know I have many flaws, in fact, I believe that I should never have received moderator in the first place, that position was too much for me especially with my immaturity (and many people can vouch for that) however, it is definitely a great experience and the people on the staff team are all kind and amazing.

One thing I kinda agree with you is that maybe you could be a little active in the community and the server, maybe you joined really early, but you feel like you could give a big hand to the staff team and help out. That's what is basically going through the person's mind, "oh I feel like I can help out a ton, I've had experience in the past I know how to make a application and everything!", if they have gone through this stage before and know how to apply and make a wonderful helping hand on the job, than by far means let the person do it. It doesn't matter if they joined today and applied, if the Senior Staff think the application is great, well passing other applications, really well written and explained throughout, than they might as well try it out and pass him along the staged of being a staff member. Everyone applying want's to help out of course.

Of course, it depends on the person's intentions and how helpful they can be to this server, but I still believe that people should interact with the forums a bit more before applying, maybe have a minimum posts before applying, it's something that will most likely not be implemented, but it makes the community feel more at ease, rather than having people that joined say "1/24/16" and they recieveded

It doesn't really matter when you joined the forums, if people are planning on devoting their time to the community and server, than you should't complain on who get's the position or not. I just find it childish that people seem to care about the date someone joins in order for them to receive the position, it's not fair at all, maybe if people were more mature about it and realized that the reason they want to join the staff team is to help out and make the server a peaceful place where players enjoy playing on. Especially recently with all the resignations that happened for the month of December & January, we could really need this "new" people to apply and help us out more.

I don't really understand how you "feel" like the application process is easy now, it's been the same since you've been a staff, so I'm guessing you taught it was easy that you got mod? You went from someone along side the staff team to someone that's against it and complains whenever a new staff member joins that's been in the community for less than a month!? I don't really find the point of arguing about people who "want" to help out and "devote" their time to the server, that shouldn't be your worries because at least someone in the community "wants" to be a staff member and help out as much as they clan. You should focus more on the fact that, the player count in hacker's have increased in the past year, or people breaking the rules everyday on the server and trying to get them punished, or maybe you applying for mod & giving ideas or changes that could help out the server like I am!

I don't believe it is true that anyone can get moderator, you know everyone can apply for mod if they meet the requirements, it's just how many actually get passed the pending or the big "Interview" stage. You should realize that there has been over 1,000,000 players on this server, and maybe only 800 of them actually made it past the Interview stage, it's not that "hard" to be a mod? I think you're completely incorrect because if it was really that "easy" there would of been over 800 staff members in the past almost 4 years. Just trying to point out the fact that it isn't really that "easy" to get staff member my man.

You know man, of course the person can be active in the community but just because they joined on a certain date doesn't mean they can't apply. You know how you said we don't "care" about the server or our community, maybe that next moderator could be the person that "cares"? Have you ever thought of that? Also like I said of course we care about you guys, but sometimes we're busy and handling different matters at the same exact time, but you just gotta learn that we all are not perfect, we are humans. No one is perfect, no one will ever be perfect, no one plans on being perfect, so just you know come up with better ideas than arguing and stating facts that there is no point into fighting for, because we do truly care about the community or the server.

Oh definitely, it's been a amazing journey so far meeting all these amazing people on the staff team, of course you would of a had wonderful experience as a staff member I believe that. But from you going from a well known moderator, did his job well, but messes up and now isn't on the staff team, I thought I could see you change into someone different and responsible and caring, I'd expected better from you, Jeffrey. But don't worry I am looking forward to you trying your best to show me and everyone else on the staff team your suggestions and maybe your idea on how "easy" it is to get the staff position on MCGamer! Thank's for your time and hopefully you clearly understand how I feel towards my position and how I don't joke around on how I don't do my "job" or that we really don't "care" about the server at all, because we all truly do and you probably don't understand how much work we do for everyone in the community to make it a peaceful and better place to experience on a video game, this server has truly changed my life. Like I said I never really planned on becoming a staff member when I first joined back in 2012, but I believe it was one of the best choices of my life and one of the best experiences I will ever receive or feel in my life for my future in maybe job applications or my work preference because it has helped me a ton in succeeding in my life!

o thank god now i know you wrote it

Of course I wrote it man ^ I never let people write for me, if I am gonna share my opinion on the matter than I will

Whoops, didn't know why that sent, wasn't done writing it because I got DDosed mid-way through but let me continue and share my opinions. Obviously we won't come to an agreement because we both share different views but it's nice to see the other side time to time.

I wouldn't say I'm necessarily complaining, but more as questioning I suppose, of course I am grateful that many people would take the time and help out the server, but concerning "when you join the forums thing" it just kind of gives the impression they joined the server as well on that month, I don't know if it's just me but that's how I feel about it.

Again I'm not complaining, I'm voicing my opinion on this matter and how I feel against it, of course the applications stayed the same, what I mean is that I sometimes feel as if the Sr. Mod overlook the quality of the person they are hiring and just want quantity. Now of course, I may be totally wrong, but this is to me, what I feel as of now. I just wanted to say that I like the people joining the staff team, to me they all seem like good fellas, I just dislike it when players who joined a month-ish prior before being accepted for moderator, to me, it just feels like they did it for the rank instead of interacting the community and actually wanting to help me. Now this is my opinion, something that won't change, I'm not anti-staff (well I used to because I got demoted and was salty af) nor am I on the staff's side, currently I'm just voicing my opinion which may seem anti-staff to you, but trust me, I definitely want to see the staff team improve just like you do.

Of course it isn't true that everyone can get moderator, but I'm just trying to point out that in the community's eye, many people who possibly applied have a better chance at getting moderator prior to the past when in my opinion, was a bit tougher, and I'm not saying such as early 2015, but more to like 2013-2014. I'm also not understanding 1,000,000 players on this server thing, yes that's a lot of players but how much of those players actually play regularly, how much of them are old enough to apply, and how much of those actually do wish to apply? Not that much in my opinion which is partially why I get that feeling that Sr. Mods are overlooking the quality of an application and rather more focusing on the quantity of decent people that can get this position. Again this is my opinion and it might not be right.

Also, I just realized, that the moderator application did change from when I applied (In March) to now. The punishment guide became public. Because you're a moderator, you're not able to view the template for the application, but there are some questions you can easily just look on the punishment guide to answer, therefore making it a bit easier.

I know you guys do care about this server, otherwise why would you even apply for the rank unless... y'know... you're just doing it for the rank. Other than that, it's just discomforting to see someone you've never known to become a moderator the next day. Becoming a moderator holds lots of powers and someone you never know, someone you've never seen on the forums, well this guy suddenly has all of these powers he can do to ruin our game, of course this doesn't happen usually but it's just discomforting. Try to see it from our side a bit, we randomly see this player join the forums yesterday, writes a status message like "I got Interview!" and in your mind, you'll be questioning like "Who is he and why should he have the power to ban all these players when he just joined this community?" it's discomforting for us, definitely doesn't mean they're a bad guy though.

As a final note, I never said you guys didn't do you job correctly or you just joke around all day with that red rank of yours, I'm just saying that somethings you guys do from time to time tend to not please the community, and I'm not talking about bans/mutes, I'm just talking more about the moderator itself.

It's too late to respond to this, so tomorrow Also I don't really want to continue this here!
