Anrza may not care about it.
Staff may not care about it.
Everyone else may not care about it.
I care and I'm making this thread because I care.
Hey staff, I just read the thread Anrza recently made about how you guys aren't doing a good job and, finally you ended up banning him. I can see your frustration, I get why you're annoyed and sick of him making harsh suggestions. He could have been kinder, he could have just kept his mouth shut and kept playing like everyone else.
When I read the thread, I was constantly cringing at Anrza's accusations. I gasped aloud at the end when you guys banned him. Permanently.
You guys are great staff. You're friendly, you're helpful, and you don't get angry easily which is a quality that I admire in anyone who has it. You guys have made a magnificent server that should get far more rep than it does, even with this new massive explosion of dutch people recently. I don't agree with most of the things that Anrza says though occasionally he's right, but when he is it's one of the few faults you guys have.
Now, to business.
[quote name="Lord_Sauron_"]I banned him. Why? Because I wanted to and I enjoy suffering. So deal with it. Y'all are here to play a damnable PvP game. Any normal developer for another platform would be able to hide behind a mask of anonymity and official titles. We are shown as people and some take advantage of that.[/quote]
Sauron talks about this mask of anonymity that most mods and server owners of all types of games wear, including minecraft. And Sauron's right, instead of doing that, you act like real people, you reveal yourselves as real, hard working people, and you also try to fit in with us, which makes you far more likeable. But this....
This is the kind of thing that makes others angry at you, that makes others do, well, what Anrza just did. You act out of anger instead of rationality. We all do it, and for some reason most of us can't see that they've done this thousands of times before as well. You just do it publicly because you don't have a choice, which gives you a bad rep you don't deserve.
I wrote this to ask you to please either unban or just temp ban Anrza, A few days ago I thought of him as one of the more respectable players on the server, he's even coded some stuff for you guys. But because he nagged at you and flared your temper (possibly on purpose), you banned him. I don't think he deserves a perm ban.
This is what I propose. Shorten his ban (which means set a date on it, don't perm ban him). Then, when he's unbanned, ask him to be mod.
Yes, that's right, ask him to be mod. I said it. Don't look so shocked at my suggestion.
I say this because Anrza is truthfully, mod-worthy. He spent quite a bit of time on the server, he's coded things for you, and he's truthfully a good person at heart, even if he has a lot of.... complaints. There's a lot of other reasons for this too. Anrza has an expectation of what mods should be. So what if he became a mod himself, he would be able to do all these things on his own and he would probably learn how hard it is to be a mod at the same time. but the most important reason is that he'll also be able to talk to you as a peer, instead of just frustrate yelling at you because you don't give him the time of day because he's a player. If tim started telling all you moderators that you need too do better at something, you would do it, wouldn't you? Well how about giving Anrza a chance to do that. Let him speak his mind and help the server as your peer. I believe Anrza could do a lot of great things as a mod of this server. And he may say no, he doesn't want to be a mod, too. And that's ok, we can all keep going on with our lives without having to think twice about this again. You can reban him or just tell him not to do it again and this will all be put behind us. So what do you say, do you give him another chance, or do you stick with a decision you made out of anger and adrenaline after an inconsiderate post on his part?
