If someone "is objective" he's unbiased, doesn't let his feelings affect his decisions...

If someone "is subjective" he's biased, which means his decisions are influenced by opinions and feelings.

Agree with most of it, some apply on some certain staff and some others are entirely false or true.

Didn't read all of it sadly :<

Hello community,

Once again I've decided to create a serious thread on the "off-topic" section, even tho it's pretty much on-topic.
In most of my posts I've criticized regular members, but this time I'll talk about what could be changed about staff members.
Before I start talking about anything I'll give you guys a warning:

If you're easily offended or if you do not like being criticized stop reading, in this post I'll mainly focus on one of the true issues that is causing guildcraft to lose players.

Now, as I've said in yesterdays post, I'll create a serious topic talking about how being objective could decrease the amount of players that quit guildcraft.
In this posts I'll write about my Subjective and Objective observation of certain behavior of staff members and members who wish to apply for staff.

Before I begin,
This issue is really common on big servers and it's really hard to prevent it.
To staff members: this isn't an attack on you, this is just constructive criticism, there is no need for you to get offended.
In this post I will not say any names, I will not target any person nor will I insult anyone.

The first issue, the expectation vs the reality of becoming a "mod"

Most of the players these days who apply, apply for fame, and that's truly a big problem.
They believe that they'll get famous after getting accepted, that everyone is going to appreciate their work and thank them for everything.
Another reason they're applying, is for power and revenge.
People need to understand before they decide to apply, staff members are volunteers who are here to help out the server.

Now where this problems becomes an serious issue, after they get accepted as mod, and notice that it isn't what they've expected, they become angry, and that anger causes them to do things that they shouldn't be doing.
They think that they'll receive an award for being a staff member, that if they resign, they'll get some sort of trophy, but in reality, that isn't the case.

Recently there was an issue with a mod who resigned (I will not name the person) and started a lot of drama because his admin app got denied, he caused a lot of damage just because he wasn't getting the attention he thought he would get.
Now I think the person is a moderator again, but I'm not 100% sure about it.

Regular members who want to become staff need to understand, being staff means helping the server, if your intentions aren't to help the server, don't apply, if you're here to get attention, trust me, you wont get any from becoming a mod.

Now, let's talk about the second issue, the issue that occurs when the players that want attention go for admin, and when/if they get accepted.

So this is the main problem and the reason I've decided to open up this post.

Being Objective is the key

Currently, there are staff members that aren't objective, and I can understand that a staff member likes a certain member better than some other member, but in some cases, it goes to far.

From personal experience and from the experience of many other members, staff some times tend to target certain players, or refuse to help them out when they're in need of help, just because they aren't Well known or because they hate the member.

Now, this causes a lot of players to quit, it's frustrating when you get in an argument with someone, and the staff member decides to punish you only, while both of you are breaking the chat rules.
Or when you request help, and the staff member rather talks with his buddy than helps you out.

It doesn't happen often to well known guildcraft members, but I do know that new members in most cases get ignored.

The main rule for staff members should be that in all cases they must make objective decisions.

Anyways, let's jump to the solution to this problem, since if I created this post without providing a solution it would've been an useless post.

Solution: Quality over quantity.
Now what I mean by that is, accept only the members who have shown that they really care about the server, and that they're really interested in helping out.
Accept people who don't want to get accepted because of power and attention, but those who really care about the server.

Now, since I've decided to criticize, I think I should mention a few staff member that I know are 100% objective (from personal experience, keep in mind, 80% of the staff members are really good, but in my opinion these ones are the ones who stood out with their objective decisions)

@illlex - If there's anyone who would always respond and help out any member in any situation, it's this guy. To him, it doesn't matter if the member is new or well known, he'll gladly respond to them.

@Thekillermatic - An amazing staff member, I couldn't say anything bad about him, he's truly an amazing staff and an amazing person who's always looking to help you out.

@Quinten - Even tho I don't know him that well, when I informed him about a certain staff abusing, he gladly answered me and was incredibly kind to me even tho some times I can be annoying.

+ Many many more staff members...

Anyways, thank you for reading this,
I've written this post in a hurry so it might not be as good as my other posts,
but I honestly hope some people actually read this objectively and try to understand the situation.

Feedback is greatly appreciated,
Vojkea out <3.
