(Game) If You Were The Owner..!

This is like "If you were king" but with Avicus, so it's "If you were the owner"! First off, these shouldn't be criticisms of Kylo or the server. It should just be fun, silly, outlandish things! You could have a dedicated server just for UHCs, or give yourself 1,000,000,00 credits. I personally, would spawn an ocelot, then write a plugin where it follows me everywhere (so cute), and it guards me while I'm breaking the monument with a one-bite-kill. :3
Probably put my full power in fixing the major gameplay ruiners such as lag and glitches. Find a new way to earn money of the server, such as buying unbans. Use the money to pay developers, when the server is all good, I would pay youtubers to advertise. I would try to invent new original gamemodes and make tournaments for 'em. Demote half of the seniors back to mod (I'm not hating, we just got too many). Remake the rules and talk some things through with staff.
Focus concerns on repairing community-staff relations and improving transparency. Collaborate and create a functioning plug.dj staff team, it's represented by Avicus. More frequent staff meetings and hosting community meetings where we get together and discuss problems with the server, and intend to keep notes of it and throw it into a Trello so the community can see the progress for the changes.
Create new perks for donators so there's more encouragement for donations and to distribute that money to paying developers, admins, and advertising. Basically, improve funding. Crack down on staff violations, a representative of the network should take the role seriously and not be childish. Invest my power into fixing lag, getting GitHub issues more attention, and connecting with the Map Developers every week on what the status of the server is and what requests need to be done.
Easier way internally for staff to contact me, and to be active on the server. Rewrite the rules. Instate committees for community power. Publicly statistic server funds: customers should know the status of their business they paid for. Reinstate better leaderboards for the website, reorganize forums... more motivation and encouragement for the staff.
Make it an admins decision who to promote or not through the work they do and not from the time they spent & their interview combination with the work they've done before. Demote a few sr staff & admins from immaturity, reassessment to the mods. Change the rules Imply the rules on staff Change the ban guide for staff members (make it more of you punish this and not you can choose in between this and that) Plan/start new events for the community. Not trying to hate on staff but we all know that the staff team should be reassessed. Not just the mods but sr's +
I would first try to restructure things internally, such as how decisions are made and stuff is handled. Then I would work on the backend so new dev stuff could be more easily added. Then I would write a better appeal system. THEN I would advertise and try to grow the community.

What type of appeal system did you have in mind? Don't be afraid to share your suggestion. :)
Well right now if you need to appeal, you mae a forum post. My idea would be that when a person was banned, they are given a direct link to a page on the website that will let them enter a message and submit an appeal. This would then alert the staff member who banned them (in game/on the forums) and would be marked as pending. A staff member would be given a page that let's them reply, deny the appeal, or appeal the ban. I think it could help to better streamline the process.
You need odd numbers in side the Senior Staff team.
Then 3 admins and 4 Seniors. My point being that you need to have a smaller number of leaders than followers. You have 11 Seniors and 3 admins so 14 combined. There are 29 mods and 1 Jr mod. So you ratio is just about 1 senior to 2 mods. It should be somewhere around 1:4 or 1:5. Just a suggestion.
For another example, in clash of clans. You either make everyone elder in a clan, or noone elder in the clan. If you have to many in power they will abuse it.

Add a helper rank for regular users who do a lot to help out. No, No, No. There is no point in that. People would question certain peoples promotions to said rank and get angry.
More moderators. Yes, we are working on it.
Website:
Combine the old Avicus leaderboard with the new one. No, it wouldn't make sense. We reset in this update therefore the old leaderboards are 'slightly' irrelevant.
Add the ability to reserve a scrimmage server at any time. Yes, scrims should last 1 hour, it would make everyones lives easier if we could have more flexible times to book scrimmages.
Add voting links Yes, please
Add a Build Contest sub-category on the forums. I don't know
Change the Staff colors: The Mapdevs and Devs are supposed to be blue, the Refs and Officials are supposed to be Cyan. Its because they are in the same department.
Consolidate all Event-related posts into 1 post. Yes please.
Maps Page. This would be a nice feature, we could even get blueprints of maps and post overhead views etc.
Ability to search players who have a certain tag. That would be useful for everyone.

Add Arcade. We are working on it
Make all DTM rotations random. (Excluding McZone and Mix rotations) I agree
Bigger broadcast messages. That would be nice :)
Add prizes for server voting. I would like to see prizes return.
Allow keep inventory when you are in the lobby. Meh, I don't see a point for it.
TeamSpeak:
Add team rooms. No, we don't want team rooms, they were removed for a reason.
Remove some unnecessary rooms. TS is perfect there is nothing to change.
Shop:
Integrate the Avicus Merchandise shop. We could do this, it might boost the sales of the clothing.
Add more products such as an Avicus mousepad. Hmm, Not bad

Whoops. Didn't mean to say daily basis xD. Regarding the staff stuff, I was demoted because I didn't give out enough infractions because I gave people too many verbal warnings. On the other hand, I had solved the issues verbally using /warn and /kick as a last resort. I already explained to Newcleus about it. About the demotion of staff, I'm talking with the admins about that as well.
Regarding the leaderboard, I meant to say player stats profile. I want to see who kills you the most and who you target the most again.
Everything else that you disagreed with, I can see what you mean.

Regarding your first point...
Its about the quality, not quantity. Get a small team of amazing Srs, and you're fine.

I believe the reason he says less Seniors is because if you have to many, you don't get as much done. You tend to argue more and that isn't the point. However, you are right about the time zone issue, but that would be the case of any amount of staff. In fact, the less seniors that you have, the more likely you are all able to come to a conclusion more quickly. I'm not trying to argue, I'm just trying to explain what PokerFace is trying to say.

Make more maps w/ TnT, mainly maps w/ premade unbreakable TnT Cannons I've seen more TnT maps in recent so that's happening
Have more maps with Cobwebs (for string = for fishing rods), Gravel (for flint - for flint and steel) for those happy-go-lucky SG type of players ;))) fine with the string, but too many people use fns to grief their own team.
Advertise we're working on that
Rank Giveaways seems like a good idea, how would it work?
