That sounds massive to me.

As for when it comes to activity, yes, it can be poor at times, but keep in mind; they are not machines. There are duties to be done in ''the real world'' that sometimes (Often) overshadows FL.

I can see why the staff is inactive, it is not easy. Does that mean they should resign? No.

I believe in the staff team. Constantly bringing up the activity issue is pointless, it has been said a million times already. Give it time.

I'm sorry for my attitude, but people don't appreciate the admins, even when they're working their arses off to do something for the players. Voluntarily. Been there, done that.

Actually I've had staff experience before,

Having staff experience, and having staff experience on FL are completley different. 

so I know what it's like. Yes, we're all aware that the staff team are not machines, but people just like us, who have important stuff to do outside the server, which makes their activity on it go down. However if the community is not pleased with their work something should be done, so opening applications and adding new people to the team would be the best solution in my opinion, it would do no harm and it would improve the server.

OR that could risk giving untrustworthy/uncapable people staff in such an easy way. On top of that they may go inactive aswell.. there are no guarantees.

I think there should be more strict rules regarding activity and what the admins are doing related to the server, if they have no time or more important things to do, they can just take a break for some time or simply resign and why not apply when they're ready to come back.

Applications for veterans could be do able, sure!

Warnings should be given out if they've been inactive for too long. How can one still be in the staff team if they haven't gone on the server for months?

Agreed.

What's even the point of that? If you feel like you can't hop on for about 30 minutes a day you can just resign instead of keeping the rank and not actually deserving it. I know FL has been like this for a long time, a small staff team who were chosen by the SAs but it's really come to that point that the community desperately needs new staff and the best way to get them would be applications.
