Hello Fellow Members of PMC! :)
So it has come to my pleasure I shall post another blog. Recently you may have read Vikki's blog on over responsible staff members. That sprung something into my mind, and this topic needs to be discussed. This topic concerns me, as this takes place on one of my main servers that I play on. I'm talking out about staff members. Not just all staff members, but the irresponsible ones.
I have been playing on a server since September 2012, and it has been a great server, fun, and great community. It is just that some of the staff members are just a pile of dung. I am not going to be giving out the server IP, nor the people that I am talking about, but it they know who they are, don't consider banning me, consider improving your acts.
The response given was "By storing swag, and using swag points". My friend got all stirred up, and asked for a proper answer. Same response was given.
-On my old account, I was donor, but not on my new account. I kindly asked to have my donor status transferred to my new account, I was given a thumbs up, and they said sure. But what did they add on the end? A big. Fat. LATER. Oh, and how long was this later? Lets say, a week? Yes - It took them a week to open a file and write down my name? That just proves laziness.
-My friend and I where playing on the server, enjoying our time, the casual day you would have on a server and then all of a sudden, my friend was muted. PERMANENTLY. The reason given to his mute was "lel". He did absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever.
That was a month ago, and he is still muted.
They are best friends with the owner, in real life.
That is just not fair. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you can give them permission to treat everyone unfairly. The owner is completely cool with it. When I was mod on the server, I pulled off one little joke - Well, thats my mod down the drain.
I have friends that play on my server that aren't even MEMBER rank. As mentioned in my previous blog, staff should be earned, not be given to due to friendship.
it is find to give friends rank, but don't make it ruin the servers reputation. You want your server to look like a friendly environment, which mainly attracts players. But if your friends are going to act like that, just give them a VIP rank at the most.
Every server that I join that has a rude staff member, forces me to leave. Staff members are supposed to help, and guide the players, not mute and ban them for the fun of it. I believe that if your going to be a staff member, if you WANT to be a staff member, act like one. Don't just abuse it because you're the owner’s friend and that he wont demote you.

My Experiences With These Staff Members:
-I was in a Skype call with a friend, and I was working on my map that was going to be put onto the server. You had to be whitelisted to join the server. My friend politely asked the moderator "How to I get whitelisted on the server?"The response given was "By storing swag, and using swag points". My friend got all stirred up, and asked for a proper answer. Same response was given.

Why Doesn't The Owner Demote Them?
With behavior like that, a demotion is most likely to happen. But why doesn't the staff get demoted? Here is the answer....They are best friends with the owner, in real life.
That is just not fair. Just because you are friends with someone doesn't mean you can give them permission to treat everyone unfairly. The owner is completely cool with it. When I was mod on the server, I pulled off one little joke - Well, thats my mod down the drain.

Conclusion:
It is conclusive that many staff members don't truly act like them, and abuse it due to the friendship they bond with the owner. Abusive staff members mislead players, and create hatred amongst the players and server. If you know who you are, or are one of these staff members. Get your act together, because us players don't like it.-TCG

Being staff on a small handful of servers, I do get stressed or sometimes feel like cracking a joke with the players. Even if it does come off as abusive, I'm really not. Think about what's the real motive for the abuse.
