All Networks staff-team

[xHappyMood]

Ofcourse you can talk about it but it's not like it's gonna change anything you know? :)

Changing these kind of things is exactly what this subforum is for, so it can change something.

I mean, ye sure but the staff-team is out of the players hand no?

Dumb thread.

I disagree, some staff have things to do, a life to live. But the bedrock network is understaffed.

To end with, some staff members have other internal responsibilities.

Agreed! We do a lot of things within the community that usually can go unnoticed or is behind the scenes.

If it's not for a long period, acceptable. But when someone is planning on being inactive for months, they should be (temporarily) demoted.

I believe this is sometimes true already. However, it is a pain to do everything so losing their rank isn't always the best option.

If I’m a volunteer fireman that doesn’t mean I can just say like “Oh no I don’t want to stop this fire rn”.

It's Minecraft, not a life-threatening fire

80% seems kinda much and a complete guess, as you are not staff.

It seems about right to me xD. I don't really handle reports much anymore but I'm still very active punishing players, helping in discord, and responding on the forums!

It’s not the job of a moderator to work on updates.

It is. We sometimes act as a Quality Assurance for updates and provide feedback and suggestions.

That is a matter of hiring more bedrock staff. By demoting staff, Java may be harder to moderate meaning that less effort will be focussed on Bedrock.
To conclude, I don't know of any inactive mods, and if there were AnimalTamer and CapitanGato will handle them accordingly. Demoting a bunch of people for new staff isn't a good idea. These helper waves are small for a reason, there are really not too many people qualified to be staff.

I know, it was just an example to say that volunteers also have responisbilities, not exactly a comparison ._.

True, but this subforum is for any cube related suggestion/feedback. It doesn’t matter what kind of topic.

Dumb thread.

Lol ok. I just made a suggestion. Why would you post something like this.

Sorry, I wasn’t aware of that. It still shouldn’t take that much time. Maybe a few weeks.

Java may be harder to moderate meaning that less effort will be focussed on Bedrock.

If you demote inactive mods, it shouldn’t make that much difference. In fact, when the Dutch and Spanish applications reopen, it will be much easier.

Cause it's a stupid suggestion maybe next time think twice before just posting some random suggestion. Just think for yourself why this isn't a good suggestion lol before posting it.

I like this answer! I'm gonna be a little presumptuous here and speak from my own experience, however outdated it may be now in the current staff team's setting. There will be the one or two moderator who will appear to be super inactive. I don't know how it's like now. Anyways, this means they (inactive mods) rarely check on the forums, Discord, and even forgoing logging onto the servers for weeks. There might be reasons for it, who knows! But I'd hardly say it's up to the community to decide or push for demotions. Let the staff team work it out on their own, it's their job in the first place! In my opinion it's a lot better to have someone who's proven to be capable of moderating and worthy of trust to stay on the team than not. Of course, if it ever comes to the point where the inactivity becomes really extreme, I'd personally make a staff feedback if you have any complaints. But all in all, eh.

EDIT: Upon reflection, I mean if there's really a big issue with super duper helpers being blocked from applying, I think there's other options that can be taken without pushing people out to have replacements come in. It's a volunteer team in the end, not an overly strict mini army. No one really wants to come to bitter terms with anyone, so if there's really a problem with applicants not having a chance to apply. Well... I guess just take it up with the recruitment team.

Lots of people explained it very well already so my opinion wouldn't have that much valuable anymore, but I still wanted to share my opinion about this.

I get it, people want to become a staff member but they simply can't because there are enough moderators to handle reports etc etc, but I'm quite sure that "inactive" moderators have a valid reason(s) to be inactive for a bit. And however they may appear inactive, they are active but in a different way other than other moderators.

Demoting or cleaning up staff members who are not as active as others/inactive is not something I'd support. Being a moderator is indeed voluntary and you can't imagine how big of a responsibility you have as a staff member : Being a role-model, taking care of the community their safety on our network, helping people out every day, keeping the server as clear from cheaters as possible. Of course, we chose for it ourselves but does that have to mean that we can't take a break? Of course, this being a voluntary position doesn't mean that we can be very inactive for a while just because we want to. We still have responsibilities but I'm 100% sure that there are valid reasons for some moderators to take some time off.

It's nice to see that you care about the staff-team, but this is just not it for me.

There have been times where staff are inactive and in the staff help on the discord. But at least they get to it, and they don't let it pile up. The only way I can see inactive staff being a problem is by appeals and conversations for discord bans.
