I'm still finding the manager rank shit

SnowSX3 April 28, 2016 at 4:04 AM UTC

So much bureaucracy for such a small server.
Dont overcomplicate things. 

For example, the staff spotlight does not need to be an official managerial role. 

The staff spotlight was created to make the community more familiar with specific staff members in a casual way.

It's definitely not important enough to be an administrative task.

Unnecessary bureaucracy will cause confusion and frustration.

Wtf are senior mods doing then? Just ditch this pink rank and split the jobs equally among the seniors. Right now I don't see the point of having two separate ranks when it doesn't look like anyone but you is doing anything. Seriously making little sub tasks are only good if they get done.

And for the love of god I see all the seniors on the forums everyday and hardly post anything (expect for Greg & Seth). Don't say they are doing appeals/reports cause they don't take that long to complete just be more active engaging with discussions while your on the forums. Also for the love of god answer my report >_< its been over a week. I'm not hating on the staff but seriously things are being over complicated.

Sorry about that report, I pinged the seniors in Slack but I guess they didn't see it.

     Like I mentioned to you in Slack, I feel you are focussing way to much on this gritty policy stuff. I understand the leadership team (my name for admins + managers) want to revamp the entire staff policy in order to have a strong base before they start work on more practical projects, however it's been long enough and you need to actually focus on improving moderators, developing moderation systems and creating a more diverse, thorough moderation team. 
     I don't agree with some of the jobs you've listed such as Staff Spotlight, you don't need an entire role for this.
Who does the appeals and reports? The seniors?
     Furthermore am I tripping or did I not see a staff team assignments? Or are you all sharing staff jobs? Please don't tell me the seniors are doing that, because personally I think replacing server development with staff team would be better, but you know a lot more than me so I'll respect whatever you decide.

Whoever dealt the punishment deals with the appeal. Anyone can deal with the player reports depndin on its severity.

Well appeals still need to be managed.

Yep, its complete bullshit :P

Can you stop

Crimson_Aught April 28, 2016 at 8:04 AM UTC

And all this "wonderful" team can't reply to my application for 10 days. Lol.

"..what the Managers and Administrators are doing on the server." If you want people to not ask such questions, you have to make your job and team open to the community. And imo, you shouldn't divide your roles in staff team. If one is absent, other can do his job.

Not being replied to an application for 10 days is expected and normal tbh

Actually it's not.
Or maybe there are some reasons, why they don't reply. I wish to know them. That is how it should be in open community.

You just have to wait.

I swear these come out every 2 weeks now.

steven5703 April 28, 2016 at 11:04 AM UTC

Exactly. These assignments clearly aren't working if they have to be changed every other week. Just stop and go back to the old system where there was no assignments.

I mean seriously you guys are blowing this all out of proportion for a small server.

Actually, it is. As far as I know, this is your first time applying. It can actually take quite a long time to get an answer, although everyone gets one by the end of the application timespan.

Are staff apps open 'cause I don't see anything under "Staff Applications?"

DaFrozenBlaze April 28, 2016 at 12:04 PM UTC

I think they are since they close 1 month from 1st April?
Not sure though

hasl April 28, 2016 at 12:04 PM UTC

Yes, you should only see your staff application if you've posted one, if not then it should be clear. 
The Staff Apps Q&A and Application format and criteria can be located in "Guides and Support".

Tarheelkiwi April 28, 2016 at 1:04 PM UTC

Were they always there?

Jahaj April 28, 2016 at 1:04 PM UTC

Yeah, they have been from the start of these apps due to users not being able to see stickied posts in Staff Applications.

why it takes quite a long time?

DaFrozenBlaze April 28, 2016 at 1:04 PM UTC

It takes time for your app to be considered. Not everyone can pass, they have to decide who does, and who doesn't

ImNotYourTiger April 28, 2016 at 2:04 PM UTC

You can only see yours. Staff applications are meant to be private and viewed by Staff members only.

ImNotYourTiger April 28, 2016 at 2:04 PM UTC

why it takes quite a long time?
For all Senior members to put in their input on your app, review your app, and deal with maybe at least 30 more apps, deal with their assigned duties and in game problems. I wouldn't think that they are going to respond in a week. It's a process. Wait patiently.

Myworld6 April 28, 2016 at 3:04 PM UTC

Neato.

LFT April 28, 2016 at 4:04 PM UTC

why it takes quite a long time?
It takes long because almost every player that checks the forums wants to be a staff member. A good amount out of the group gets the "Reviewing" tag and it takes time for staff to go through each one and talk about that players strengths and weaknesses. Its not a thing that you can take 2 seconds on, its a process. Always expect a response after 2-3 days, never bump a post.

Riilo April 28, 2016 at 8:04 PM UTC

>Always expect a response after 2-3 days

Unless your application is garbage, the wait time should be at the bare minimum (and I mean bare) a week. If not the guys are doing a poor job critiquing the apps
