    Ahem, just say what you think about our staff having MVP on WarZ or donor kits on FpsHG, any other brawl server.

    IMO mods should not have donator privileges they should buy it like every other player.
    Smods+ should have donator stuff doe.

    I'm a staff member, so I'm apparently biased, but in my opinion its kind of fair. We spend a lot of our time on the servers and support the server voluntary, so shouldn't we get a small thank-you through having Global MVP?

    About people complaining that only Moderators have FpsHG donor kits: As the name already says, they are supposed to be donor kits. But soon after FpsHG was released all that EULA stuff started and FpsHG Kits were never added to shop.

    And there is still stuff we need to donate for: All War perks, guns and equipment, we don't get Extra Warps on PvP Survival and we aren't MVP's on Skywars.

    By the way, Moderators can't even use Donator ranks: McBrawl has a simple rank system where you only get the highest rank that is saved, so if we buy Donator Ranks, we don't get the features, cause Moderator is a higher rank.

    I completely support mods have donor privileges on their servers. Mods work hard, and its the least they could get in return, I think its the perfect system of reward.

    Ok, If the mods are contributing a lot to the server, by catching cheaters, preventing spam and such, why do they not deserve any donator privileges? They make the servers better for you and the community.

    Honestly, I don't think it's fair mods get special privileges. Contradictory to what Roke said about hard work, they willingly chose to give up their time moderating servers, it's not like the option was forced upon them. Plus, the incentive for some applicants is to only apply for permanent MVP (munkeywr3nch as a prime example).

    I'm fine with mods having these privileges. I mean, really, where would we be without them? Are we so ungrateful to them, that we can't even give them any small prize for what they do? It's not that big of an issue! The only issue I can see arising from this is what Fire mentioned: the incentive it provides. But that in itself is a rare occurrence, and it's not like getting accepted is easy. I have a slight issue with fpsHG because those kits are only available to moderators. However, those ranks are going to be added to the VIP and MVP donor kits eventually.

    You say,"We spend a lot of our time on the servers and support the server voluntary, so shouldn't we get a small thank-you through having Global MVP?"
    I think the 'we' should be changed to 'I' because some mods don't do there jobs so when you say we your saying that mods+ do there job and in my opinion (and many others) some mods don't do there job.

    I belive global Mods should get those ranks, but not trial Mods. Trial Mods, as the name states, are only on s trial and it is not certain that they are good enough to be concidred as full time Mods. I belive that if only global Mods get special ranks, people will stop applying just for the ranks because you can't get fullt accepted if you don't do the duties and take the actions that Mods are supposed to do and take.

    If people don't do their job or are inactive in some areas, they will get demoted soon normally. The admins keep track of Moderator activity monthly.

    Well, the thing is.
    The free MVP really isn't a gift. At least, it wasn't initially intended totally as a gift.
    It was given so that staff could use the permissions of donors to be able to fully moderate.
    In WarZ, moderators would be able to teleport to record hackers.
    In Party, moderators could play all games. That's kind of a reward since it's a little easier when spectating (in my opinion at least), but it also made it easier to find hackers up close.
    That's how it was supposed to work, but now it's like a perk that moderators get.
    I believe moderators should have specific permissions, but have it heavily moderated. For instance, if a moderator is using teleport in WarZ for his own benefit and not to help players at all, they should lose those permissions.
    After that, ranks could be given out for servers if they aren't too game changing. For instance, War MVP is a viable option seeing as it gives you extra ammo, extra xp, and extra credits. And before you go on me saying that this is like WarZ MVP's teleporting, remember that scavenger completely nullifies the need to watch your ammo, and moderators have to pay for it anyways. (If anything, the extra ammo should be something all players get by default.)
    The point is, have minor things as an award/gift for being a good staff member. Don't have things that completely affect gameplay (teleporting), have things that don't affect gameplay as much, instead. (more xp and credits per kill, more voting tokens)

    That can't really keep track of actually performing the job. Sure, admins may be able to keep track of mod activity, but there's no actual way to determine if they're efficiently doing their job. That's where the players come into action. They can determine if a mod is doing their job or not.

    I agree, but there is no need for War MVP.

    Keep in mind, we don't get everything on every server for McBrawl.

    We still need to buy C4, superknife, perks, grenades, etc for war. We don't get a lot of warps on PvP Survival, we get the kits in FpsHG because, as Roke said, they were never added to the shop.

    The higher-ups think we should have a certain privilege for our efforts in moderating the McBrawl servers, that privilege happens to be Global MVP.

    I honestly think that mods should have the privilege of donator perks. They work very hard to make each server a better place. They deserve a few perks for what the do.

    Definitely agree with letting mods have donator perks.

    Their time is spent voluntarily helping people and keeping the server running smoothly. They've earned the title of a staff member, which is obviously saying that they have contributed a lot to the community.

    Donator perks are such a small gift to give to staff members for all the work they do. :smile:

    No staff in particular, but on Fps-Hg, staff having donor kits is very unfair. Some staff use ghillie every game, and that's the reason they are even on the leaderboards, It kinda ruins the game for non donors. I think that staff shouldn't have the donor kit privillage, at least until it's released for VIP/MVP. (Which might be never)
