A Change in Mod Applications

Maybe, so that we can refrain from them being open to the public completely, we could add a message minimum to comment. Example: You need 1000+ messages to comment on an application. I believe this would open them up a little more, but still keep it from being an all out public thread.

 

omg dwikfaceses get a wife!!!!!!n000bbbbslayers!!!

I think this is a pretty good idea.

I'm not sure if that'll work. Why would it be 1,000? What if Mr. Badmember with 1000 messages comes on the staff app? I'd rather have Zap's idea work, because there are very many members out there that are very polite, but they may not have 1000 messages.

 

Most of the members with 1000+ know the community pretty well. Well enough not to comment something rude or off topic.

 

Maybe a section for mods and a section for players? The players' section would count but half as much as the mod section. If half the mods don't like the player he/she still has a chance with the players.

 

That's true, but you're still forgetting about people that don't have 1,000 messages and they are mature...

 

I don't see why this is needed when you can PM the Admins if you have any specific concerns about a player/current staff member. We do our research before promoting players, and it's a group vote with all higher ups. There's no biased involved unless all the higher ups are biased towards a player, which I cannot see happening.

That's what their profile page is for.

 

I'm pretty sure no staff member would go to their profile and tell them there considering they have permissions to reply to the real staff applications. I just think that messaging some one on their profile page is a waste of time, it's just opinion, it COULD matter but less likely than the actual post. Also the profile page post doesn't count towards the staff application anyways. If someone gets all -1. The mods end of accepting them and little do they know that the community HATES them. This could lead a rift through the staff explaining the more than half staff disrespect.

 

If you're doubting a direct quote from an Admin based on your assumption, then there's more problems within the community then I thought.

We don't promote player willy nilly. We do background checks, profile checks, look at their past posts, look at bans on other servers, etc.

I believe I misunderstood you, I was saying if you want to express your opinion of a player when they apply for mod, you can do so on their profile (keeping it appropriate).

 

I am correct if I say that you sometimes take a quick look at their profile as well sig?


Anyhow Zap, I trust the higher ups' ability in judging who gets mods or not. The community having a really big influence in the decision on who gets mod or not would be a bad idea. Why? There is a much bigger chance in there being any bias among the community than than among the higher ups. Just let the higher ups do their thing. However, if you have a really big issue about a promotion, PM an admin.

 

You called?

 

I think that there could be a time limit, 6-24 hours in which you could reply to a single app. This would restrict the massive app spam fest. Next off, any kind of rule breaking in the app section would be watched, and you would be given 2x the warning points for breaking rules you normally would get a point or two for.

Or you could ban players instead from forums, but from posting on mod apps.

 

Yes, I did. People like you are mature (from what I know of) but you don't have 1,000 messages, so it wouldn't be fair for good people like you.

 

There are plenty of Moderators who have less than 1,000 posts. @Mojang and @XxIronRavenxX are two examples of SMods with less than 1,000 posts. We don't always look for quantity.

 

I'm not talking about the moderators...
I'm talking about @SasMastah 's post, and why would I disagree with it. And this little argument is about the players...

 

They should mostly be picked by how long they've been with the community. All being said, the maturity is a BIG part but mostly the OGs make the best decisions for McBrawl.

 

I think you need a checklist so applicants know before applying if they qualify or not.

It would reduce applications that don't meet the criteria.
