More admins

Did I ever say that you wanted people to kiss-ass you? No. My point is how you act and want people to kiss-ass you. You go around with an attitude which implies that you're the king of all. Hell, it's working. Seems to me that it works quite well. And you saying that you're not better than me, I know that, seems we both know that. Then stop acting like you are better than everyone else. I have not once seen you been polite to anyone. I have read a dozen ban request denied by you. And yet you have no manners. No 'Thanks for posting, we will be back with you shortly'. No 'Sorry but lack of evidence for the ban request, thanks for trying though'. THere is none of this at-all. You feel and you treat yourself because of your rank that you don't have to use manners. Mind explaining this to me?

-snip-

I'm not better than you. No-one said I was or that any staff member was. If you have proof of any staff members requesting special treatment, please forward it. I've been around for a year more, so don't try to act like a "veteran FLer" around me. The fact of the matter is I won't hold anyone's hand and I won't condescend anyone either. I'm sorry that you feel entitled that everyone is nice to you, but here's the news, no-one is. In real life, very few people will be either, so get used to it.

You don't know how we function. You've never been a staff member, you're just complaining. Yes, we have activity issues. No, it's not easy to find replacements.


And, just because people love to read about on-screen conflict in a Gmod community, I'll leave these points:
- When have I asked for anyone to kiss ass
- When have I acted like I was above someone, unless it's an area where I have more experience in the matter

Just would like know. But what does Fearless look for in 'moderator material'?

There is really no excuse to have 20+ in the team and it is still, after 2 years of my time in Fearless, inactivity on the other servers.

People who are moderator-material are promoted. People need to understand that they might not be as perfect as they might view themselves. We often discuss players, but we seek people who are mature, who behaves not only when an admin is on the same server, but also when there isn't an admin.

We're no robots. We're no machines. We come on when we can and when we want to.
It's summer, we might not want to spend all of our summer-days on a computer. I can only apologize that we're not the most active team but we try to do our best and people like to ignore this.

- People who are staff-material will be monitored and promoted.
- People who are not staff-material will not be promoted
- People who are promoted have their own lives that they need to live, and they might not want to spend their entire summer online.

Our excuse is that we're sadly only humans.


It's easy to criticize staff-members, how they administrate and their activity but if you were to fill the shoes of an admin and walk in those shoes for 1000+ ingame hours, then you'd realize that the position has its ups and downs, and that people will criticize you; no matter what you do.

I will remind everyone that we spend our time WE can play and enjoy ourselves by making sure that other people can enjoy themselves more. We're investing our free time in other people's joy. You guys come on because you want to play and entertain yourself. We do not have the same luxury as we've taken some extra responsibilities. We sacrifice our own free-time for you guys.

Admins get alot of shit, and rarely any praise for the time we invest in other people to ensure other people can enjoy themselves. I'm not asking for people to thank us and send our flowers, but that people should remember this when they want to criticize us.


"Oh but Enzyme, since it's so horrible being an admin, why don't you resign?"
I'm not saying being an admin is horrible; it got its ups and downs. I've invested over 1000+ hours administrating, and I'll invest many more hours. I just want to remind people what we do, why we do it, and who we do it for.
