    This is not a ban appeal.
    So for many players (and yes, I am among them) HG is just about the greatest thing concieved. Of course, we all have our problems now again (mine being lag and a recurring team of 5), but at least we can tough those problems out. No, the most annoying issue currently is: lack of staff. Yes, I can see the complaints, and the haters, and everyone else, but this is a serious problem. There are some problems (e.g. a major issue with the kit system yesterday), and most issues are addressable through more server staff. While we have moderators (@SoCool21 and @Turmac), those are 2 moderators. One of them is Trial. We have 2 S-Mods, one of them is @Viva, and he is more responsible for hacker reports, appeals, etc. We have @BlueGuyARed, who has done good things, but we need a person who is online enough to know what is balanced (my view on some kits: https://www.brawl.com/threads/60573/ ). Not neccesarily me (I am not on the list for becoming moderator), but the person should not have to be a moderator. I envision a kind of community transmitter, receiving ideas directly from players and then being able to put them in places where HG's designers and coders are able to look at them. Because: many posts with excellent ideas go under in the wave of threads and posts, and even moderators miss things sometimes (speaking from experience).

    tl;dr: We need a person to directly bring ideas to the people in charge of HG.

    Now, and this is just opinion, I would like you readers to suggest someone. It needs to be someone with awareness of what can be considered balanced (*cough* so not the designer of Viking *cough*). Of course it should go without saying that the person needs to actually play HG on a regular basis.
    My personal pick would be @Mattyz_. Who's your's?

    Someone who would be this "community transmitter" would have to be mature enough to handle the responsibility and dedicated enough to do a good job at it. They'd also need to have a lot of trust, since they'll have a lot of influence on the direction the gamemode is heading. Someone who has all of those qualities would also be a suitable mod, so honestly I'd rather just see some mods getting handpicked than this (bringing the playerbase's ideas and opinions is something I think mods should do anyway).

    That being said, @Mattyz_ would be an excellent community transmitter. And, going back on what I said before, he'd be an excellent candidate for a mod I think we should handpick.

    Alright, you guys seem to be really keen on me being a mod, thanks for the encouragement. Once my exams are over (mid Oct), I'll bump up my TS activity and apply :smile:

    Honestly, if I got staff I would actually want it for WarZ/HG, two understaffed servers. The problems are:
    • I don't have TS and don't really want to get it. If I did I would just sit around listening to what everyone else has to say.
    • I don't have a YT account and don't have recording software.
    • I'm not very mature, and probably will never be.

    I'm just chucking that out there. HG is fun, 3rd favourite, and WarZ is probably my second favourite server (beaten by War). My computer sucks which stops me from getting recording software, because when I play I'll lag so hard, and it won't be enjoyable.

    I agree, @mattyz is experienced enough and active enough to handle the rank, although I've not seen him on teamspeak much but that will probably be due to timezones, otherwise he is a great selection.
