Please bear in mind that the below text was written on a phone and was when teachers was an existing role, I simply copy and pasting something I had put on another thread and I think most is still relevent to the current situation and if features are implemented, could sort some things out - as well as a mixture of other suggestions made by people like Ghostkiller on this thread and more.
Staff and Administration
Moderator/Trial Administrator
Many people may like how the current Trial Administrator and teacher system works. However, I believe that we can all agree that changes can be made for the better and I think what I’m about to say can fix the unfortunate state FL staff are currently in.
The Moderator role should have permissions to no-clip, phase, physgun grab, kick, ban and blacklist; the same permissions as Trial Administrators have now. The Moderator’s job is to primarily teach people rather than punishing them and therefore they should have the ability to pick people up and fly to a rooftop and talk to them privately and have the ability to kick people if they still don’t listen and cause mayhem. This way, people have the time to learn rather than being instantly punished.
People should be able to apply for Moderator role and the thread should be public. This way, the community shows their opinion of said person and staff can make an in-depth, and arguably fair conclusion. Of course, the SAS would have the final call however the public votes/opinions will hopefully guide the SAs conclusion in the right direction. You may argue that said applicants will change behavior once they applied however if common sense is used and the community and staff know what they are genuinely like, no bad can come from said public applications and votes and will, in fact, benefit the staff team greatly.
SAs, Admins, and the community should keep an eye on the Moderators as they literally can become future staff which is a very important and currently neglected role in fearless. The Moderator role won’t be a trial period and may be a matter of days until the rest of the staff team believe they are ready for Admin, or a matter of months. The premise is that the Moderator role will have no timer and they can either stay as the role or say yes to the opportunity for promotion.
The more trusted, active staff that take the server and its state to heart, the better.
Teacher
Teachers should have more responsibilities as not only are they rolemodels but should also reflect image of FL. Currently, Teachers don’t do anything other than doing their own and typically isolated roleplay or just give out a bunch of points. The teacher's goal should be to literally do as the role name suggests and teach, rehabilitate players that broke the rules and if a teacher has to post a PR, then they have quite clearly failed their role in the community. Teachers should be the people who are most against punishments and should always focus on having the best attitude with no big ego, arrogance or immaturity. These three things are unfortunately seen in some teachers today as well as the fact even a couple don’t even know the rules, at all.
Teachers should constantly be kept an eye on as they literally represent the community. Do you want FL to be represented by arrogant and immature people that post PRs to get someone they don’t like banned, whilst they don’t know the rules in the first place? I highly doubt it.
Punishments
The issue with the current staff team, punishment system, and guidelines is that it works quite similar to the prison system in the UK. I am speaking metaphorically of course however it is quite accurate. People get thrown punishments left right and center and never learn their lesson. Bans and blacklists are not a deterrent for breaking rules whatsoever. In fact, most people state that if they knew they were about to receive a punishment, they would break the rules within that time to ‘make the most of it’.
Staff must prioritize teaching properly rather than needlessly punishing to boost their ego by a small amount. I use the prison metaphor because the more punishments someone gets, the more likely they will be shunned down on and will lower their chances in getting anywhere in the community. This then enitiates the snowball effect and they will continue to infringe rules as at that point it is near impossible to redeem themselves. However, if staff begin to administrate/punish the same way as prisons/law enforcement agencies in countries such as the Netherlands and Scandina as their priorities are to rehabilitate rather than to punish.
This is the reason as to why countries that rehabilitate and teach have the lowest crime rates in the world rather than punishing which is what most of staff do nowadays. Punishments encourage punishments and teaching/rehabilitating prevent future rule infringements from occurring and that’s the truth of the matter.
When it comes to PRs, staff should go in-depth and even privately contact the involved party(s). Staff should even get other staff’s opinions to come to a fair and justified conclusion with everything in mind and with no biased opinions.
The use of the common phrase ‘User has many hours and should know better’ is completely pathetic. At the end of the day, everyone here is human and are bound to make mistakes. Staff should ensure users are aware what they did may have been wrong and that they shouldn’t do it again. As of now, most staff punish the active, loyal and nicest community members for long periods of time if they make the slightest mistake, which is the biggest reason why the server is in so much chaos.
UBRs need to be taken much more seriously and should be concluded with a large amount of consideration. If someone makes a UBR, they clearly want to come on the server and should be able to, at the end of he day. With JackZ’s ‘last chance’ suggestion approved, and everything mentioned above properly implemented, the server, staff, and entire community will be in brilliant shape.
