Administration Q&A Panel

[Iametal]

Huh?

...
Keep the filter - but please, please, answer the questions that the community wants to know, which are actually legitimate questions with answers....

I'd be willing to accept answering the hard questions like the ones you've stated. The Q&A is meant to introduce the Admins as people in addition to explaining certain actions such as that one. Especially with as much misinformation and honest mistakes that have occurred, I think it's only fair.

I only have one condition: we won't talk about bans nor banned members. Those topics consistently end up as flame-bait because of the people they involve, and it never becomes a matter of level-headed discussion so much as manipulation of arguments and demands to get friends unbanned. And the last thing that's productive at a panel is a shout-fest over something that's unlikely to change.

Don't worry too much about the filter, we'll be liberal with it. There are plenty of questions that could be fun, but we also have some answers in need of questions to be asked.
Don't forget that you can ask some funny or personal questions too: no need to be serious all the time (even though I usually am)

I'm currently banned off the teamspeak, but I have a question I'd like asked... even if I can't ask it myself..

Flaming is a serious issue in MCSG. While people are constantly getting banned for it, I have to ask, what are the opinions of the admins of these current flaming issues? Is there anything that is planned to stop this epidemic other than banning with evidence? If so, what? If not, could any ideas be proposed?

Will mod application age requirement ever be set to 14 again?

 

[reven86]

I have two questions.

One being when will breeze island 2 be fixed? I know on at least the Eu servers, there is not 1 single t2 chest, not even at spawn, and also the invisible people are getting pretty frustrating.

Also, when will the deathmatch arenas be released?

 

[Joel/MadDawg]

As Moo already asked, will the event be recorded? I'm going to be out of town, but I'd still like to listen to it at some point.

Yes it will.

When you play on your server, do you have to deal with fanboys trying to follow you throughout the game? If so, how do you deal with them?

As you know, there are many (mis)conceptions and theories going around regarding some very specific banned players. Do you ever plan to clear up this confusion, even though there would be repercussions as a result? Or do/would you prefer to keep what should be regarded as the truth, a secret?

What exactly is an Administrators role within the community? Do you ever affiliate yourselves with the tasks of lesser-ranked staff members, such as Sr. Mods, or Moderators?

Are the Administrators ever required to consult with the Owner with major decisions, circumstances, or ideas and practices?

In what ways do the Administrators face with (and feel about) major issues and flame within the community, particularly topics regarding terms such as, "Mods suck", "Unban x-and-x", or, "Why MCSG sucks"?

Dave:

How old are you?
What is your favourite animal?
Do you have any pets? If so, what?
What is your biggest dream / What do you want to do before you die?
Do you enjoy being an Admin? Why or why not?

Col:

What is your real-life name?
Where do you live? (Obviously not exact terms, but country?)
Do you have any hobbies? If so, what are they?
Picture of your face? (Don't have to if you don't want to, but I think it's safe to way pretty much everyone wants to know what you look like.)
Do you enjoy being an Admin? Why or why not?

Questions concerning bans are not going to be answered.

I only have one condition: we won't talk about bans nor banned members. Those topics consistently end up as flame-bait because of the people they involve, and it never becomes a matter of level-headed discussion so much as manipulation of arguments and demands to get friends unbanned. And the last thing that's productive at a panel is a shout-fest over something that's unlikely to change.

Also, I believe that it ties into the rule that you're not allowed to interfere with another person's ban, as it is between the MCG Staff and that specific player.

Exactly. Not everyone respects that, and that's how controversy and arguments begin, but that rule exists and is enforced for a reason.

And for the record, I totally forgot that the Q&A is THIS SATURDAY because of Admin duties. This on top of everything else? What fun...
