Hi Lego!
Thanks for the recommendation. I really appreciate that people acknowledge how hard I work, even though some doubt it!
I think that it is true, we currently have no Moderators! I have trained Dobbysock1 and Huge_Owl_Eyes_8D personally, and emma572 has trained SugarPie11. I recommend these three should get Moderator soon!
The different time zones also have to fit in people's schedules in real life too! That's why I haven't been on the actual PC this week because I was grounded! I have been checking up frequently on MineChat to keep going. I do have to agree that a lot of Staff isn't active, and a bigger amount is in order, but that is why we have MiniMod Appeals! As a Co Owner of them, I believe this is one of our most effective rituals. Staff gets to examine the players who want to be a MiniMod and then the top 10 are voted on by the members of the server! It's a great method, but we are in a little lack of help.
I have been working hard to keep monitoring the server, since MiniMods do not have a lot of power when things such as greifs happen. I keep monitoring, and yes it is exhausting! I will work hard though, that's the reason I wanted to become Staff in the first place!
An issue I've been facing though is promotions. I really think it's an okay and a fit situation after MiniMod Appeals to promote Staff, but I remember the first time that I actually had gotten Moderator. I was talking to Bapboy, and all of a sudden I was a Moderator! I hadn't expected it and it really made me appreciate working! It's just a little assumed being promoted, and that is what I have been worried about! If I get promoted to an Operator (if is the key word), I really would enjoy it to be special, not necessarily assumed. Slowly promoting Staff really makes people excited! I remember how shocked everyone was when I came on the next day and said hi! The server gets really motivated when Staff gets promoted. It's great to see your friends get rewarded for what they do!
I really appreciate your thoughts Lego! I think you would make a great MiniMod!
