A different AMA. by Goodnighht December 29, 2016 at 9:12 AM UTC

This is an AMA just like any other but I thought we could make it better, make it so instead of just me answering questions we all can. When you post your questions answer them, and the ones down below. When you post your questions I will add them down below and the list will grow. 


Have fun answering questions and reading everyone's answers. :^)

  1. Where do you live? 
  2. How old are you?
  3. Is your favorite server Avicus?
  4. Who is the best Moderator?

Make sue you are answering these questions along with the ones that you ask. :^)

Why do Avicus moderators act so sensitive towards people stating we copy OCN's material all the time?

We would never be here if James Watt didn't base his idea off of the original steam engine,  he improved it. Ideas are based off of other ideas and what we do may seem like we're copying OCN, but we're improving off of what they're doing. It's not that we hate you guys saying that, but it's the way you guys say it. Also, a lot of our stuff that we have aren't available on OCN, like they are here.

this website has PMs?

Goodnighht December 30, 2016 at 8:12 AM UTC

this website has PMs?
No, but this thread is not the place for this discussion. Take it somewhere else is all I'm saying.

I wouldn't say that it's hard to be moderator, but it does come with some challenges, just like any other position would.

When was the first time you became mod? 
Read above. ^ :)

Favourite server is avicus?
Yes, it's one of three severs I play on, and the only one I play without being in a Skype call with someone.

Haha, definitely not. 

If not who is it then?
Everyone. The staff are a team and we all put in our help in different ways. Without the Seniors the Moderators would have a really difficult time moderating. Without the different types of personalities within the staff team we would all seem like robots and it would just be weird. xD

What would you change about the stsff team currently?

Do you see yourself worthy for a promotion?If not now in the future?

What infraction is the most satisfying to give out?

This is a question for the whole staff team.

Lasuz December 31, 2016 at 6:12 PM UTC

Ok, I have one more question,

Do you think the reason for dev_revs demotion was fair? If so why / why not?

This is a question for the whole staff team.
What would you change about the stsff team currently?
Communication. There's a huge lack of communication between Admins and Seniors, and between Seniors and Moderators, and between the entire staff team and the community. We are working to fix this and it is getting much better in the past week or so. :)

Do you see yourself worthy for a promotion?If not now in the future?
Definitely not now, but possibly in the future. I have a lot I still need to learn and work on though.

What infraction is the most satisfying to give out?
Banning hackers, because there's almost always a lot of "Thanks!" in chat. It's really satisfying to know that just with a simple command you make the entire server a better, happier place.

This is a question for the whole staff team.

I know so little about his demotion. All I know is that he was staff warned for something and he leaked it and it got him demoted. I don't know enough to give any real opinion.
