    Today I want to do a bit of ranting about the current status of the merge of MinecraftBuild . I'm not going to complain about WorldEdit not being functional or other few bugs (Unless those problems remain there for weeks). The reason why MinecraftBuild existed in the main place is not to allow random noobs to create a map and build some ****ty houses and stuff, it was created as an easy tool for everybody to create custom maps and allow builders for easy map making and map management for the whole network of MCPvP (and I do believe that may be why Chap decided to buy it). Basically, one can create a map, show it off to the player and recieve help and feedback more easily, and if the staffs liked the map, they could just add it like that without manipulating the world's files in a gamemode. And if edits were needed for the gamemode map, 1 could just go on the map in MinecraftBuild, edit it and with 1 command, the edits were live on the gamemode.

    While admin interaction was necessary for certain features of the server, the moderators were able to handle most of the problems themself, if a certain map needed an edit, they could do it themself, if they needed to give support to builders for certain issue that player could not resolve, they could. Moderators had lot of powers, they could do anything, but were they doing stupid **** such as creating useless redstone machine that make lag and noises, or trolling the players with some /invis (/poof for brawl), or some /b jockey? No they were not, they were using that power to do great things that they could not do without that power, and those great things were awesome maps, small minigames, support to builders and great management of the gamemode maps.

    Ever since MinecraftBuild has reopened on Brawl, our great moderators of MinecraftBuild (and new moderators of Brawl) have found themself with nothing but the very basic powers of a moderator, that is /mute and /kick (/ban for purple mods, but still...), just enough power to moderate the chat, that's it. They basically have the same power as a regular player. You would think, they still can help people with low amount of building skills or help teaching some basic of WE, yes they can do that, but they can't do the great things they used to do on MinecraftBuild that was making the server go so well. Ever since MinecraftBuild has reopened, I cannot ask moderator to give me support for new CTF maps, instead of a mod, it was ChickenPutty who gave me a copy of the map I needed to complete my work, and that is kinda a bad thing, because if we have to keep relying on admins to get certain tasks completed, then the production rate will be slow and poor.

    All I ask is for certain staff members (either our moderator team of mcbuild from mcpvp) or certain of your moderators from brawl to give that support to the builders who are serious and don't want to wait for the help of admins to get a work done just like previously on MCPvP (no offence on the admins on this one, but I think we all know the admins won't be on MCBuild everyday to answer help requests).



    I also apologize for bad grammar as I am not english.

    I guess the s-mods could be given greater power for this server alone. Maybe the regular mods too since their permissions aren't too far off from the s-mods. The Creative j-mods (and Dasky) on the Creative server have admin privileges, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to give McBuild mods similar privileges to the Creative j-mods..

    As Striker said, we understand that different permissions are needed to moderate Build servers properly. This is the reason why Creative Managers had Admin.
    You already said yourself that Build is still in Beta, this also means that the Build staff ranks are not finished yet.
