    No.
    This is just a commentary on the current state of MPS.

    I even bloody said this wasn't an attack on MPS.

    Yeah but I definitely agree with your perspective of this community. This speech made me feel as if you deserve more than just a Moderator position.

    Yeah this just makes me feel like I will never get moderator. Even thought I am "Liked" and somewhat "Wanted" I think.
    This is an odd question, Tac42 what do you say about me?

    I distinctly recall hating you a few months ago, but I can't seem to find the reason why.
    As of now?
    No like.
    No hate.
    Neutral.

    Fairly certain if Putty and Chap don't hate me already, this post is going to make them hate me.

    Well, first off, I am still trying to carefully word my opinion on that particular mod. But I do want to state that we NEED a staff promotion system. The reason why is that some youtubers with bug audiences are coming onto the servers, namely Minecraft Party. To name a few, Bodil and ItsJerryandHarry. As of this, many players will want to try this server. As of that, they eventually might discover all the rest of the MPS servers. We will need more mods, and more mods with promoted positions. On a side note, I feel that we need at least 1 admin whose soul job is to auto deny blank and short mod apps, to let others see all the mods apps that can be considered, and not these ones in which no one likes to read and take away their time.

    Honestly, I think all mods should just have complete power on the forums.
    Move permissions, lock permissions.
    Everything.
    At the very least, give dual mods that power.

    It's extremely limiting to only have power in your own subforum, especially since most of the mods visit every subforum.

    I forget and I am sorry but why did you quit / leave being a moderator Tac42? Was it because of some of the reasons you have expressed in this thread or something else?

    At the time, I felt I wasn't up to it.
    After seeing how cruelly we're graded, and me having SATs within the next week...
    I just couldn't devote my time to it.
    I might as well have been honorably discharged than demoted for being inactive.

    At that time, I had the full intentions of re-applying and coming back.
    Right now?
    I'd love to have permissions on forums, but not in-game.
    But we all know that's not going to happen after what I've said in here.

    2000 out of 2400.
    **** grade.
    Not gonna bother retaking, though.
    I'll just rely on my application essay and 4.2 GPA to get me into a UC.

    Thank you for the answer.
    If my two cent are worth anything you being a sole forum moderator is an excellent idea.
    Questions I know, was 8vo promoted to administrator because of the flaw / favoritism you have expressed?

    I don't know the real reason behind it, but from the limited information I've been given (no Staff Chat access...Maybe. I have ways.), that's what I see.

    What follows is so serious that it's though s***

    If the multiplayer forums had a system it would be anarchy.

    If I understood what @Tac42 said, people to be promoted need to go on teamspeak and ask and go like for 2 weeks: " I'm so nice, I join every game with you and I'm a mod." And after 2 weeks you ask:" can I be promoted ?" And the admins will be like sure ! If that's the way it works then that's like being nice sweat to get your reward, I hope that all the staff members respect and don't do stupid stuff. This is not a warning to staff nor a threat. You can't promote other people like that, Tac is the first person who's not an admin to have joined the forums and he ain't admin or global mod ? Like I said can't promote random staff, they need to prove that they're worthy
    Favoritism ? WOW

    Tac is blowing things out of proportion. So what if he's the first non admin? I'm the 21st :V. The MPS staff has flaws, but it's not as corrupted as Tac makes it out to be.

    Favoritism meaning the way Tac42 says the administrators promote.

    True not as corrupted, but they're limits and as the saying goes: "doubt grows with knowledge"
    Exactly but after all it's their choise

    Wow. The fact that everyone trusts, without the slightest hint of doubt, what Tac says is astounding. Think for yourselves.
