Title: A Petition: Toward how staff are chosen
Post by: Thrive on May 21, 2010, 08:02:14 PM
This is not to say that staff suck or they have no lives, this is just a petition that when moderators, administrators are chosen other staff should have a word in who is chosen. Not that Jeremy's decision's are bad and horrible, it's just that consulting other staff would add more perspective to who all is chosen. I just believe that staff could be chosen more wisely.
But I've seen that the staff haven't been as devoted as they used to be...
For example...
Cole- Whenever I see him, he just does ::emote. I've had many people curse others out right in front of me, and he did nothing.
X- is Afk all the time and does nothing except when jeremy or ry on.
and others are just not participating as much.

So if you support this petition, copy, paste, and complete this form:

I ______ (state your name) sign this petition that other staff, besides Jeremy, should have a word in who is promoted to moderator/administrator; and that the current staff should be reviewed to see if everyone is ok with them being there.

I would also like if some of the more well known players could have their voices heard.

JERK. JEERKKKK!
I've hardly done emotes, ever, until recently. I was trying to find the bunny hop emote, so I scanned about 600 emotes, up to the very last one. I do emotes for fun every once in a while, and if anyone asks to do them I tell them they can't, sorry, and usually shock\jack them.
As for swearing.
People can swear.
Just not directly to other players. I don't always pay attention to the chat box. (I'm usually reading or messing with my music) But if someone PMs me "He swore at me", I scroll up the chat box, find what they said and decide whether it was offensive, and action accordingly.
(Continues to rant for about 5 more lines)
I would sign too, but you judged me too quickly. I think the staff is fine as-is.

Once again, your opinion. But personally we've had better staff in the past. Not saying your'e horrible as a mod, but once again i've seen better in the past.

You don't know what I've done. You've known me for, what, 3 days? I agree the staff could be better, but I pay more attention to the "Noobs" and/or everyone else than most staff. X is a good mod too, but he's pretty inactive (AFK-ing doesn't count). But... Whatever.  :P

I, Cole, sign this petition that other staff, besides Jeremy, should have a word in who is promoted to moderator/administrator; and that the current staff should be reviewed to see if everyone is OK with them being there.

Sorry, crappy day today and I feel rant-y =P. But I can guarantee you I wouldn't be demoted if reviewed.

not saying your going to be demoted, just saying that anyone can be reviewed.

I'd say that Cole is our top moderator and that Ryan is top in admins-- better than Con.   None of the staff are ever active other than Cole, Ryan, and technically X. When X is online he is afk though. Cole and Ryan are litterally the only staff members I'd keep if I was Jeremy if he went on activity and job completion. I'd include Mooshu, Daxking, and Triniboy in the overall judgement. I'd only keep Mute and Volcanic Me on the forums. Bill is active less than once a month and Pavillion logs on and nothing else. I'd have it like this...

In-Game Staff

Head of Staff- Ryan7

Admin-Triniboy, Coleshot1, Mooshu.

Mod-Daxking, Volcanic Me, and Maxmager



Forum Staff

Admin- Volcanic Me and Mute

Mod- Omfg Noobz and Pk0wnedall

I Rory sign this petition that other staff, besides Jeremy, should have a word in who is promoted to moderator/administrator; and that the current staff should be reviewed to see if everyone is ok with them being there.

This is the Right thing, But... If you tell Jeremy or Ry about a Player, They will take it in Hand.

Post by: Mia on May 22, 2010, 05:03:08 AM
I agree, BUT I will not sign for that would be a silly reason.

@- ëveryone is okay with them being there"

For one, Most moderators and Players don't other players, who knows, they may say no to a play because they don't like them.

I was a mod with, Volcanic me, I poon I and Flame, They didn't like me at all.

99% of the people on this 'petition' have no clue as to the process we go through to choose staff.

Ryan you were voted on for the Administrator position. Unfortunately for you guy's the player's don't need to be involved in the choosing of Admins or Mods and that is why I'm closing this thread. There is no need to degrade one's ability at being a Mod Thrive. If you want to complain go to the Rants section and simply complain.

Petitions like these are senseless considering I already have initiated a voting process for new Admins and Mods.

You guy's should learn some facts before you start acting up. :p

Closed.

Post by: Ry60003333 on May 22, 2010, 02:57:32 PM
Jeremy is correct. I am always informed when we are hiring and/or firing a staff member, and we do have our own voting process for new staff.

We have to be the  ones who hire the staff because we know what we need! For example, we don't hire Moderator when there are no positions open. This is why asking for Moderator in the game will always result in a "No, no matter how many people support you. People really need to stop PMing me on how they can get our attention, or asking me to talk to Jeremy for them. Any of these behaviors will result in an automatic rejection.

Now this is really closed.
