Now that you're here, what do you think of this? As no staff member gave a decent reply yet.. I'm kind a curious about your opinion =P
It really depends on the type of thread, if the suggestion is sarcastic, I don't think we need to take what is being said sarcastically, seriously.
For any genuine thread I believe a small explanation is in order to justify a lock.
In the examples shown, I think the given explanation is sufficent.
"
Since Cubecraft is still a business and they need to generate money. Why not sell network bans? It's much easier to buy a network ban than apply for helper, become moderator, get info about upcoming updates and leak everything. This saves Cubecraft a lot of them ánd gives them more money. A win-win if you ask it me. I was thinking around £269,99 since it has a much higher value than an obsidian rank.
"
I mean camezonda could have replied with "It is clearly visible that there is no way at all that we would ever approve of this, we do not count on selling unbans, nor do we count on selling network bans."
Saying "nope" covers it... somewhat..
Sure, perhaps the thread wasn't wasn't 100% serious, but staff should still remain professional.
Even saying 'we will never implement this, because...' would've been enough.
I do agree with this, and will forward this to management, especially when their actions reflect upon the whole staff team.
Yes and that's exactly why it shouldn't have been locked to begin with.
We all know that this thread never would've gotten escalated anyway.
Why not leave it open and troll around a bit? Do staff member really don't see the fun in these threads?
This is what makes the forums fun, not all threads have to die out too soon, I'll agree with you on that, as it is, I don't see too many threads being locked too soon.
I disagree. The 200 IQ staff might not be able to understand the situation, sometimes they just lock threads so they can meet their "threads locked this month" requirement. Also, the 12 year old team of cubecraft staff might not be able to speak and type English fluently yet, so it would be unfair making them give reasons.
Instead they should be typing "xD" in the cubecraft discord, muting people for saying "l0ser" (if you pardon the word) and of course pushing forward more and more arcade updates.
We have no requirement to lock threads, nothing wrong with typing "xD" in a text channel in discord, I haven't heard of anyone get muted for saying "l0ser" since when do moderators push updates?
I'm always open to criticism, of other staff members or myself, just send me a PM when you have any problem regarding the staff team. I'd love to hear the stories of those 200IQ staff members...
