A comment on the Staff 'Team'

Why does everyone think that there are a maximum number of "slots" for staff? Why can't we just add more and deal with the inactive/less active ones later?

if you're not active on the server then resign and give somebody who is a chance[/quote]
I agree more people should get a chance- but there shouldn't be a limit on '7' mods, what's wrong with adding an 8th while keeping arak a mod?

Because there must be a max staff limit. Even now, there is too much staff for the current playerbase numbers.

Is this limit something that Tim came up with?

Doubt it. But I'm saying that there's too much staff listed, even now. If you don't put a max limit on staff, it'll come to a point when too many players will have it while most won't deserve to have it, from those who do have it. Like the inactive ones. Being inactive, they should not have their rank.
 
What if staff members had to renew their rank every once in a while? That way, if they failed to renew it because of inactivity, they'd be demoted to Pre-Mod, and next time, to regular player. However, maybe let a handful of them who really deserve it to get a sort of permanence, which would exempt them from one or two renewals, just to ensure maximum fairness (and to give Tim a loophole through which he can keep members like Only, who is as someone here said before, almost honorary by now... x.x)

This could in theory also serve as a kind of review of their recent actions to see if they should still keep their rank, but I personally wouldn't like that very much.
 
I don't personally believe there should be a limit on staff. One minute you're saying 'Add more!' the next you're saying 'Get rid of staff!' The more the merrier xDD But as bes said, what's the point in quarreling over staff if EW is close to closing anyway...?

Pff optimism or something. I'd be a bit happier if Tim did what Rockslide did to Conwy - sent EW out on a high.
(Make all classes non-donor etc). The problem is, he won't do anything worthy of rememberence for EW until he gets money, which he won't.

At least Rockslide made sure his players remembered Conwy with great memories. Judging by Tim's attitude, we won't get the same.
 
But that's up to Tim. If he doesn't wanna do anything special to send off EW, then that's up to him.

Nah. People could just pop up whenever their rank would be taken away, reseting the timer. And I disagree with the next thing because that'd be like picking favourites. It's dumb. No matter how long one was a staffer, they shouldn't get special treatment.

Also, review of their recent actions? "Inactive, kick."

"Add more" when needed, "get rid of staff" when needed. Both were caused by staff inactivity. People thought that adding more would serve as a solution, which it did, but then the mods that got added as a solution turned inactive too.

make me staff for the last few days?
 
This isn't the first time it has been brought up, staff has always been a problem for some years now on the server. Don't think the staff culture will change though. Bit too late for that.
