Hey, if there's any chance of putting you in a position of high responsibility, I'd be willing to give it another go, and work hard to manage my time to give to quite the worthy cause :')

Copy cat :O <3

Edit: A lot of the things you've proposed, a lot of current and ex staff/Sr. Staff members including myself have pushed for, hard so you'd have a very willing team to work with in that case.
Not to try to compare myself to you or anything, but I ran through those exact sort of issues back when I was staff. Myself and some other staff members saw some things that really needed to be fixed in the community, staff wise, but no matter how many times we asked, no matter how hard we pushed, nothing happened. It wasn't til many months after we all resigned that they finally realized for themselves that what we said was true, and changed.

It's truly frustrating. When something needs done, it just seems like there is such a delay. It's like people either don't know how to change something, or don't know if they are allowed. Either way, this community in general, just needs to do things in a more timely manner. When something needs changed or fixed, don't wait til weeks or months later to change soemthing, after everyone is already upset by it.

Yeah I wasn't trying to single myself out as the only person who had ideas, definitely not hahaha. There have always been people with ideas and knowledge on how to improve, the problem is usually the who are able to enact these changes dislike the ideas, or are unwilling to make them happen. Not saying every idea proposed is good and should be considered, but I've seen time after time ideas that would have most certainly improved the quality of play and made the server a better place be shot down for no explainable reason.

The problem has never been that the high administration is bad or corrupt, it's just that there's little communication and people tend to treat people below them as subordinates instead of coworkers. Obviously there needs to be management, but there has almost always been separation because of how attitudes have built up over time.

Speaking of catching hackers, let’s get work started on making an absolutely phenomenal anti-cheat system. Strong, full-fledged devteam = better work production towards great anti-cheat. Remember, anti-cheat systems don’t care who they ban. They won’t hesitate to ban someone that is their friend, because they don’t have friends. They don’t ban out of anger or spite. They ban because they are programmed to under a specific, hardened set of parameters.
I wouldn't really want an anti-cheat to autoban people. I have 2 accounts banned for hacking on Badlion while I was playing legit and I wouldn't want to get falsely banned on a server by an anti-cheat again. I would rather want an anti-cheat that only collects logs and doesn't autoban people, instead staff would screenshare the "cheater" for any hack clients and ban them if they find anything.

I agree with everything else, though.

Anti cheats aren't a simple thing to make. I have heard that thrown around lots and always just took it as nonsense. But then again, if hypixel with their dozens of developers can't make a good one then how can MCG? It may work at one point but it's still a cat and mouse game because the client makers find ways around them.
