»GC should be paying it's staff

Alright so this is something that has been in my mind for a very long time. I believe that staff members (admins, and maybe mods too) should be paid for serving the community. This does not need to be purely monetary, they can be given monthly store coupons as a thank you for selflessly helping the server out. Why do I think this needs to be done-
1. Staff members have to give up on their gameplay experience to help the players out, they're wasting their own precious time so that others may enjoy (and then if they like, donate to) the server.
2. They're essentially helping the server run smoothly and hence helping the server make money, while not getting anything in return.
3. Many admin+ have bought donator ranks and once they become admin their ranks become pointless. This would enable them to get something they fancy on other server within gc network
4. This could possibly solve the problem of staff inactivity or shortage, and the staff would take their job more seriously (not to say they dont do that already, but some staff members do get really inactive)
P.S. no I'm not a staff member neither do I plan on being one, I just made this suggestion because I really do believe the awesome staff members must get something for what they do.
Edit- some things I wanna clarify
So you guys think people will apply only for the free incentives. Well, who says they have to accept all applications? A player who has always helped the community, is good friends with other staff members and has been there for a while is obviously not going to just go for the money. Application requires certain number of forum posts too.
Other than that, even if they do apply just for the benefits, that would be the driving force and they'd be forced to work for it or get demoted. It's not a free benefit. Having this also gives higher staff a greater command over the staff, they can dictate the minimum activity and other criteria to reap the benefits, failing to which the staff member may either not be paid or demoted.

 

Nah this would ruin the staff team.People would only join for the money/coupons or whatever.

 

it is not entirely up to the players if they wanna be staff. Head admins can judge if a player is sincere and helpful enough or is only in it for the money.

 

Head admins already have too much work :/ Monitoring the staff members would be too much.

 

aXed will be poor, and will have to sell his Ferarri to run the server

[poor little smelly frog ]

 

from what I know, cyrus does look over every staff on survival and semi. Besides, player reports work well to tell whether a staff member is sincere or not. And I meant that they can judge the players, at the time of application, but now I think they do need to be monitored after that too, due to your response, thank you

 

xD well store coupons wouldn't hurt I guess hehe.. Now you brought up a picture of a frog driving a red Ferrari in my mind lol

 

Hey, First up. Guildcraft shouldn't pay it own staff. Cause all of the staff have volunteer to apply for a staff and they get it. Don't consider being a GC Staff is a job and get paid for it. Being a GC Staff is helping the server to be better

 

you're right.. They did volunteer for it but they're doing something that is helping only a few guys at the top get all da monies. They should be entitled to certain privileges and benefits.

 

No.

Woa .-. what a quick flip-side .-. You made this forum to make GC pay for they staff and now you agree to my opinion??? .-.

 

no I didn't change my opinion xD I mentioned they should get some benefits.

 

and they'd be rejected like I said.

 

Paying all the staff won't work. It would be nice however if the players on Guildcraft respected the staff a little bit more for what they do instead of flaming / complaining about them.

Head-admins could be payed (could ^^) but so far only Privall got payed as head-admin when there was nobody to replace him. I don't know how the current situation is though.

 

if they have to compensate the staff and someone is not doing it right, they'll demote them much faster.

 

I don't really think staff should be getting payed, but that's just my oppinion.

 

yeah I know many players have no idea what the staff has to go through and just rant about them not doing their job properly. This doesn't apply to everyone though, because some staff may sometimes actually not be doing it right. And it doesn't have to be something big or fancy. I think a 5 euro coupon or something per month would work eh?

 

aXed might as well not hire staffs. Plus we need to make a commitment, NOT something to be paid for.

 

LOL mods arent any diffrent then members so they just play like us with /mute and they will get payed? nah they shouldnt pay a 14 years boy that muting peopls on minecraft servers.. and not paying admins either its just very bad

 

It is very easy for a player to fake a personality, people do it all the time.

 

let me put it this way
You clean your house, you get the benefit of living in a clean house.
Someone else asks you to clean your house, so you don't get anything by doing it. Will you still do it for free? Unless cleaning is your passion, you would say no.

 

you can't be fake for 3 months

 

I get it about the mods. Why not admins though?
