1) I believe that we should demote the entire staff team. We need a clean slate and we need new staff that will actually try. (No offence to anyone, but the staff team currently sucks.)

2) we need new plugins to increase the activity in the server. We should get stuff that's fun for everyone. Like minecarts as cars or something cool

3) we should reestablish the Olympics to increase player count in each faction and make them more excited to play on this server.

4) we should unban all of the people that left. Or at least everyone without legitamate reasons to be banned. Like Jordan was saying on another post, these bans really brought the activity to a halt.

So yeah, those were some ideas that I've gathered about how to fix this server. Please commet below saying if these are good ideas or not. Idk.

1. That truly hurts mike, at least half the staff team truly does try to make the server a better place. There are some restrictions to what we can do though as most of us don’t have console access. I can say for sure that while it might not seem like it Loki, James, Shed, Viale, and I are trying our best to make the server a great place. While it may have been a rough past few months we are working things out with all the things we are wanting to change in the server. As Shed said on another post, all we can do is ingame stuff while Loki does the stuff in console since he is the only one with console access.

2. Yea we do need some new fun plugins. Some I think that we could put in would be ones that don’t affect the entire world but that can be set to be changed In certain places. Like for the one that Shad mentioned in that same other post, you would have a set spot to have it where the plugin would be active per se and then everywhere else it would be inactive to keep the vanilla survival experience.

3. I mean it’s not like I’m already trying to do this and you are ignoring me (sorry for the sarcastic comment)

4. Any banned player without exception has to do the same thing as everyone which is make an appeal here on forums. There aren’t any exceptions to this. They just need to take even 5 minutes away to make a sincere appeal and honestly some of them would be unbanned.

5. Become active again you ploob

It would be the dumbest thing to demote the entire staff team because there isn't enough actually good applicants to fill the spots. I do think the staff team she be put on trial, see who the community likes, see who we don't like, and other things.
The olympics did come back, and Randal tried, and i appreciate that of him. unfortunately no one showed up lol
I think forgiving some bans would be a great idea. I'm pretty sure pr1tce got unbanned just because the staff team wanted to forgive bans of christmas and i think he didnt make an appeal. It wouldn't be hard to just reban them again.
everything else is good

Well, at least demote the staff that's inactive. You can't have a good server of the whole staff team is inactive all the time. Plus, Randal (or anyone else trying to reinstate the olympics) should advertise it in the discord and the forums more. I can help if you want with that too.

Oi, why would we ban them when they have done nothing ban worthy? That would be a stupid thing to do.
Mike, you are a good person and all but you literally have no clue about the Olympics now and what’s happening with them. Stop trying to say that others should bring it back when I’m literally planning it for the summer when more people can join it. I tried hosting it over spring break, nobody showed up. I would have done it over winter break except cookie had taken over and then lost interest in it. Olympics never died, you went inactive and therefore don’t see the effort people put into things that you complain about.

How about we permban everybody who is inactive, so people never go inactive and the server becomes lively once more?



Good idea, right? RIGHT?!

I mean if you are all for banning inactive staff then why don’t we ban you for being inactive

Sorry! I realised my mistake. I didnt know what you guys were talking about, but somehow I wrote that I wanted to ban the inactive staff. What I meant to write was to demote them. Sorry for that :/ I fixed it above to avoid any more confusion.

Im not trying to say that you guys aren't trying, it's just that I remembered you guys talking about making the olympics again a few months ago, and then I never really heard much about it after that , so I guess I just assumed you guys gave up. So i wanted to bring it up to try to revive interest in it. Sorry for not realising that you were already working on re establishing it. And if you ever need any help, just let me know. :)

Also, @Randal, idk it just seems like at this point, we need a clean slate. Maybe just the really inactive staff should be demoted, and the active staff that actually tries can stay. I'm not trying to target anyone, but it seems to me personally that half the staff need to be demoted. Also I'll try to come on more this week :)

Like everyone else is saying, it’s not a great idea to just demote the entire staff team all at once.
HOWEVER, maybe every two weeks there can be a poll on one staff member where the public can vote for if they should stay or be demoted and have the public select candidates they think would be good staff. Or even doing it just once a month, like on the first, so that if new staff are added, they can have plenty of time to learn the ropes. Or if that’s not appealing to some, maybe extend the team a little bit instead of demoting anyone? I’m just bouncing suggestions around that would possibly be helpful to everyone. Personally, I think the extending the team would be a better idea, but hey, it’s ultimately the staff team’s decision - and especially the higher-ups. Plus, at one point the team had 6 mods and I think that if it had lasted longer, it would’ve worked nicely.

^That may be a good idea. If we extend the staff team, that could help activity too because the new staff would be excited at their new position and would come on more often.

Well, personally mike im rather disappointed in you, and this suggestion of yours.

1. You are literally incapable of judging how good or bad the staff team is doing. You are not active and havent been, you havent even been in the discord OR the server in 9 days, and its not like you were super active before that. I havent seen you in ages but I think you MIGHT be ban worthy (tho i cant know for sure since i havent actually seen you and you havent seen me or my staff team) so by your logic I should just ban you right? I think not.

2. Getting plugins has been addressed NUMEROUS times by myself and luigi, some of which you might not have missed if you were active. Fortunately they can be found on the forums as well. But, to give you the long story short; its bloody harder than it appears. We A. cannot just add plugins willy nilly, we have to check whatever we add to make sure 100% that it works with our existing plugins, B. ensure it does not change vanilla MC overlymuch or affect the "peaceful factions" atmosphere. There ARE some plugins being considered, such as the Artmap plugin belg suggested, but there are bigger issues rn.

3. You speak of the olympics like they are yours, even though you havent been online to hold them in ages. Randal tried to host the last olympics but no one wanted to show up. There are other minigame type things that happen BESIDES the olympics that personally i hink do as good or better, like colorrun. And if you dont know what they are, well then maybe you should actually get online before suggesting the entire staff team is crap and should be removed and asking for things that already go on.

4. Those DESERVE an unban WILL recieve an unban...that is, if they arent to bloody lazy to make a ban appeal. Which many of them are, and as such will NOT be getting unbanned without one.

Feedback..hmm. Well for one, several of the inactive staff that can be demoted, have been demoted for quite some time now, which again you would know if you got online and interacted with everyone. Expanding the staff team is already planned and has been for months. But suitable candidates that arent gonna either abuse or leave in 2 months are not exactly common. Weve just hired Ranthar as a trial mod. Returning to a larger staff team after removing or losing so many is hard, and will take time. Its not something that can just be done over-bloody-night.


Have a nice day.

Loki, how am I ban worthy?

And yeah you make some good points, and I'll try to be more active over the next few days. Hell, i've been on for a few hours today, and you know? The server isn't doing as bad as I thought it was. I thought it was way more inactive than it actually is. But, that's great that we are expanding the staff team and demoting some staff that are inactive!

Have a swell day.

Ah, I was unaware that it was still planned to extend the staff team. I thought that it wouldn’t be a continued idea. Thanks for clarifying Loki :D

Staff team already are trying hard, It just seems a time where people are taking a break from minecraft or mushroom or r just busy with other stuff for now.

The only part I feel needs addressing is the lack of staff to follow up on ban appeals in a timely manner. So many still sit long forgotten and never answered, there should be a time limit for staff to comment and approve or not approve a ban appeal. When someone makes an appeal, the staff responsible for a ban should reply within a week as to reason of ban and if any further info is required by banned person. Then after say 2 weeks give a decision on a weather unbanned, or that it will be looked at again in a month etc or say perm changed to a temp and you will be unbanned on this date.

Tbh I'm wondering who will take the two open Admin positions now... The new staff are not ready (maybe Vi, but not sure) and Barry doesn't play enough to merit the position, although he is my favorite staff mem atm.
