Closed staff apps for specific gamemodes

CTF has never needed an abundance of moderators and especially now when we have a great amount.
CTF is moderated by a committee of mods (the team system more specifically) and they don't need extra mods just for the sake of having extra mods.

 

In my opinion there are way too many US mods in comparison to EU mods, I don't think they should remove US mods, but atleast not accepted them, we really need EU ones...

 

They could do something along the lines of this if good people actually applied xdd

 

I like this suggestion!

 

Or maybe just change the tag of the gamemode you are applying for but still make the application for CTF mod? Like most recent applicants have done...

 

Brawl is not small enough to not needn't staff members. Staff applications should be open 24/7/365 for all gamemodes. Like feather said, doing so will solve the EU Mod problem over time.

If I was a EU player applying for the CTF Junior Moderator position (assuming its closed) would you deny me or would you accept me just because I'm in the EU timezone? If you accept me, it's unfair for others, if you deny me, you're not helping the team.

P.S #Feather4SMod
Spread the word

 

Personally, I want to see staff applications alter into a system more like Wiki Application rounds. A "batch" of people accepted at one time (which pretty much happens now for the most part), and then a couple week waiting period for everyone before applications are open again.

There's nothing wrong with temporarily closing staff applications for a certain gamemode, but when they are opened and closed some sort of announcement needs to be made.

 

Nice suggestion, thread is well laid out too

 

CTF has 2 EU mods, and neither of them are active in game. There are hours each day when no CTF moderator is online because of the EU timezone and so other mods from other gamemodes are having to fill in. Only yesterday one AU regular was accidentally banned by @RMST1 because they didn't know any better. Surely we're better off opening to the EU timezone so someone can fill that void, so that things like this won't happen. Vice Versa, the same thing applies to the other gamemodes too. There's obviously a limit to how many we should have, but right now we've got oversaturation of one timezone and not enough in the others. It's frankly ridiculous to close them

 

legit just read what i said above

 

Except you can't apply right now, that's a shame isn't it

 

I mean @Canoodle would open staff apps if she believed it was necessary.

CTF is a completely different beast from the rest of Brawl's gamemode in the sense that the people who moderate it have a different sense of both humour and how much to tolerate from players. People can joke around and stuff without worrying about being punished harshly because they know CTF mods are typically easy-going and at best tell them to calm down when they know it's gotten out of hand. They also know 99.9% of the regulars don't hack, so they wouldn't ban them if they set off the autoban. That's mostly why other moderators from different gamemodes end up getting memed, because they don't handle things in the same manner. (Still ly guys, just the truth xd)

I fully agree that CTF needs more EU mods and while it would be nice to have a few accepted to cover that timezone in which US mods can't cover, it's ultimately @Canoodle's decision.

 

I never said that people couldn't suggest good changes, hell the more the better, but that's the reality of the situation. That's all I was trying to say xd

 

Generally, I think CTF is currently fine in terms of moderators. Yeah, we could be lacking maybe 1 more EU mod, however if an obvious candidate existed I'm sure apps wouldn't be closed.
