    Hey guys! Glad to move from McPvP to here! The community is great! After poking around in the deepest depths of the forums, I found out most of the previous moderators from McPvP are coming and joining the staff. 1/3 of which, I might add, were added due to many staff quitting and McPvP trying to survive on their last legs. some of which, being a previous McPvPer, are very abusive. During game modes, some to you around. One temp banned me for killing him in a Hardcore Game, etc. some of the staff are great, but others, not so much. Another thing I'd like to add is when will the HG or CTF prefix be added? With the McPvP trade happening, you got many highly qualified to-be moderators coming in. I'm not saying I'm one of them (Though I wish I was) but they're being denied for "not having enough posts" or "not being active enough" like ldr_chicken said indirectly, a book shouldn't be judged be the cover. I believe there should be a sort of an honor system, meaning previous McPvPers could say if the applicant was active enough or not. If not, then you know. If so, then you know.

    Well, the Staff Managers and other administrators do preview some moderators amount of work they do, and they will be demoted if they are not doing a good job and/or are being abusive. If you have complaints about staff, try and private message @chickenputty or @Cuddled.

    Currently, the McPvP servers are not applicable due to the fact that these servers are in beta, and as you stated, we have qualified staff from McPvP transferring to moderating positions on their Brawl server. Some people just have to get a little known in the Brawl community. You can't just join and apply for mod, and also, there is no way for us to gain information about the previous activity.

    Former MCPVP players still need to get used to Brawl's staff system, rules and all, so most of them are not ready by now. They also still need to show to us, the brawl staff, that they are trustworthy, mature and active. It is great if they already were on MCPVP, but we would like to judge that ourself.

    They got denied because they applied for PVP survival, a server they aren't fit to moderate. They will be given trial mod on the servers they moderated on MCPVP when they are ready. They are being prepared currently. Just be patient.

    Some of the people listed just said they were parts of those servers for mod but in fact half were a part of the servers not bought by Brawl. Sound about right?

    I appreciate all of you guys' concern

    We will not just promote anyone claiming he was a MCPVP staff member, we have the staff lists and @NomNuggetNom to help us pick the right ones.

    What I meant was, yeah they were staff, just not for those servers. Some transferred over and I get that, but unless McPvP changed the mod cap, I don't think 27 mods would be coming our way.

    Hi Turmac!

    Very informative post, I like it a lot. I agree with most of what you're saying, you make some good points.

    As you know, I'm very new to the community, however I did have lots of experience with the old staff on MCPvP. I'm not 100% sure how the promotions have gone thus far, however I did peep around in the applications area. I've read over the applications, and kind of noted what is usually accepted and what isn't.

    Based on what I've seen, I think the administration is doing a fantastic job in selecting their staff members! I feel for you, I see where you're coming from, however this is a new community, a new server, and a relatively new start. If an old staff member from MCPvP who was abusive does end up coming into a position of power, I'm more than certain they will be removed! Since there are new administrators, things that could have slid by before won't be accepted this time around.

    You must realize that this isn't a community on its last legs which needs to let any mistakes go. There's no shortage of staff applications and/or people who are more than capable of being promoted, if someone messed up before, and does so again, there's no reason that they must be given amnesty. Things being the way they are will either result in the baddies being caught and demoted, or forcing them to change.

    I wouldn't stress too much over it, in my opinion the best thing to do is put faith in the administrative team to handle any issues that may arise in the staffing system. I'm more than positive they'll do a fantastic job, and you won't have to handle the abuse you did in the previous server!

    Reading onwards, you also said that you think great potential moderators are getting denied because of their activity, on the forums as well as in game.

    I have to disagree, at least partially. Just because you come to a community with a perfect attitude and knowledge of Minecraft doesn't mean that it makes up for never being online, you know? Activity is a huge part in every community, and is a must have. You're correct, never judge a book by its cover, but how can you make a just judgement if the person in question never lets you get to know them?

    Thats just my 2 cents on the matter, even if I did ramble on a little much.. My opinion is that the way things are staff selection-wise is completely acceptable, unless I'm missing some key factor anyway.

    Don't forget they'll start off as trial mod, meaning they'll be more closely monitored and assessed than global mods.

    You make some good points.

    However, based on everything I have heard it does make sense to evaluate everyone based on the new expectations and then select those that meet the expectations.
