roles of staff members (what you signed up for)

Ya, I actually reported one application once because it was taking over 30 days to get resolved (actual Brawl rule), but the report got denied

 

Sort of adding onto this, I think we need the staff team to be more of a quality over quantity scenario imo. If you lower the requirements / standards I think it will just cause more complaints to arise saying that "X staff member doesn't do anything" and cause another witch hunt fueled by the community wanting a bunch of staff demoted (which is understandable). I think if the current staff team were to focus on solidifying what they have now and really cracking the whip down on a bunch of things, a lot of the complaints / issues would disappear.

 

Belive it or not buddy things have changed, hack tests have been being held regularly since vivas resignation. Changes are happening in the brawl community, new gamemodes are being released, events are an often occurrence, and new moderators are being accepted. I think the change is for the better and we need to stop bringing up the past like it determines what we do in the future.

 

I can guarantee you that if you were mod, you would not spend your whole time just banning players. There's always 1+ hacker online and if you are the only mod online you will be constantly having to tp and watch players. I can also guarantee that you would not bother going to every single gamemode because when people are applying for moderator it says which gamemode they are applying for, just because they have the global tag or whatever **** doesn't mean they have to know about every single gamemode. In fact, it's incredibly annoying having warz mods or war mods who don't know CTF ban people for flying because sponges and no fall because soldier etc.

 

Jeez get off of your high horse already.

 

@tallscot
Every 2-3 months, enough time for JMODS to go through trial phase and get a handle with being staff. And the difference between being a MOD and JMOD is very different. MODS can ban and JMODS can not. If JMODS are not familiar with hacks it shows they are not capable of banning accurately. MODS have the knowledge that why it is easy for them....pretty self explanatory.

 

"regularly" lmfao
also, the past really can determine the future. if you set yourself up for failure and then ignore what you did you're dooming yourself for no reason.

when there's barely anyone applying to be a staff member i think that more people should be given a test to see how they do. That's what trial is there for, but trial really means nothing. trial just means you aren't global staff yet.

 

If you acknowledge what you did in the past and use that faliure and success to better your self in the future there will be a positive impact. It’s he mind set.
Also....*casually accepts 4 jmods* “there are barely anyone applying to be staff.”

Eveyother week staff exams would be a joke.We do not have the player base at which it is necessary to have a staff exam twice a month.

 

No need to get petty about dissecting word choice. It only causes flame wars. I think this discussion is actually valuable and needed rn, but pettiness gets in the way of productivity. I think the hack tests should be more "often" though as they do help keep mods in check + open up a window for promotions.

 

We just got our staff manager back, see change for the better! Eveything will start to run a lot smoother.

The test changes every time to prevent cheating. And as you said one or two months. Chances are the applicant will have time to mature and learn the role within the time allotted between the current scedual of hacktests. No need for 2 hack tests a month.

 

Just saying, if I was a jmod, I am on for many hours during the weekend past 10:00 ET. Next election vote forme and you will see better results to your issue. I do agree, when I am on war there are occasionally (now more common) hackers on, who just ruin the game and frustrate people. Whether it is with speed hacks, fly, killaura, aimbot, teleport, etc.

Hey, what is going on with the broken war servers btw?

 

Uhhhhh..... the servers are being fixed? And I know the war staff team has been working on anti cheat for war but it’s been a bumpy few weeks since the war SMOD resigned.
