Responses from a mod who'd like to stay anonymous:
it does come off as a hate thread towards Elena in the end.
1- Elenah is the boss of the team
2- Often enough the head team has been blamed
3- Because there is a lot of criticism it might look like a hate thead towards the owner of the team, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there is hate towards that person
4- Hate is the wrong word, saying someone is doing something wrong and needs to do it better is criticizing, not hating
after checking other comments I realized that there is almost no positive feedback that can help the team and Head of Teams grow.
1- Your main point of the thread was to make the problems known
2- The heads are heads for a reason, they run the team
3- If a normal member of the team has to make the improvements, why not make this person the owner
4- Once again, not the intention of thead, rather to make the mistakes in the team known
can't find one paragraph where it isn't blamed on Elena so this seems better suited for a private discussion, not a massive public thread
In that case, you just haven't read the thread.
I understand your feedback about the heads, but while working with Axyy and now Lozora in the recruitment team it is just plain rude to call them incompetent
Could indeed have been worded better, but does not necessarily mean that they are not "incompetent" for that reason. No applications, no skill test. What would we have to base it on to know that they are suited for the job?
Anyways, I disagree with your points as some of them seem to be due to lack of knowledge (which could be a way to improve) and the rest should be for a staff feedback not a public thread.
You agree with one thing, lack of knowledge. The communication within the team is below zero. You can't tell me that you agree that a revamp should take a year, especially when everything was already planned, and things were often promised like "soon" the reopening.
Here they have again asked specific Mods (most with 0 knowledge in the team) to join. No applications. For example, I would love to apply but I am not chosen because I am not friends with at the time Eli, then Axyy, and now Lozora. You can quickly tell which people have applied at which recruitment head, can't you?
Besides the fact that Elenah's name was rarely mentioned, the whole heads team is being sued. Don't think this is necessary for a staff feedback. It is feedback on the team, part of it is about Elenah but that is part of the team.
Why is this in a suggestions subforum and isn't it a staff feedback thread? If that is the point of this thread, then I'd rather move it to that subforum as it has no purpose in making this public
I quote the title of the subforum: Feedback & Suggestions
Feels like a separate thread should be created about this, CubeCraft has mistakes but if these are pointed out in the "Feedback & Suggestions" this subforum is only seen as a suggestion forum and the feedback is hardly looked at...
Can suggestions on how to improve be given? I don’t mean suggestions like “don’t do favoritism” but how can the translation team actively avoid favoritism?
You (Remi) have already given good answers to these, but I would like to mention that taking a course on how to lead a team is also useful, "don't do favouritism" is a very good suggestion to improvise, as they really need to get rid of this
Elena and I were very close friends at the time of bean's promotion, the months preceding it and to date we still are. If there was really any favouritism, don't you think I would have been promoted first time rather than bean?
So was bean, besides, 1 job for 2 close friends means you'll have to choose.
It was also not said that favouritism was always done
I'm not Dutch so I can't really comment on his skills. However, one doesn't just become a Mojang Translator.
Sure, but he hardly/not at all met OUR requirements (which are a lot higher, by the sound of it) to be a proofreader.
Minecraft translations: barely any sentences
Cube translations: a lot of grammar involved, not just the translation of words
Well, for someone who seems to care a lot about the revamp happening fast, don't you think moving a head is faster than having to open applications, interview, and consider people?
Moving a head indeed is faster. Now imagine this. There's 2 rocks. 2 people. They decided to make it a race. First to build a bridge to the opposite side wins. Person one makes a bridge that goes STRAIGHT to the other side, no support and finishes way before person 2 is even halfway, who has been making a support for his bridge, making it so it can last longer, be more efficient. Now I want you to question, what bridge would you want to use?
