Fearless Survey results

[don]

All these replies I dug out (I skimmed through) have a common denominator I'd like to pinpoint.
There is a big outcry about staff activity. Fair enough to acknowledge the problem but why does it happen? 

My hypothesis is that a person who plays on FL usually has a lot of hours to play through before he gets offered a staff rank. 
This hour limit has always become higher and higher. Before it was a lot lower. 

What you end up with is an experienced staff member with far over a 1000 hours that has his playtime behind him rather than in his foreground. In-turn, he loses interest after a while. 


This is my reply to the survey, do you agree? 

Promoting lower houred players that show potential, maturity and intelligence gives you a staff member that is just as capable of any other. The only difference is he has a lot of hours ahead of him and not behind him.

X: More admins dedicated to administrating as opposed to roleplaying           <--- A whole point of an admin is to control the passive roleplay, he can only do that if he is present at the time. If he doesn't he will loose interest of hoovering over a town all day... It isn't supposed to be so much of a job as a fun past-time. 

X: Promote legit and good people.   <--- Obviously... 


X: We need some seriously active staff. People that would generally enjoy administrating the server <--- Obviously....


X: . Lastly, activity needs to be high (can be      achieved with a bigger team)   <--- Bigger team doesn't always mean better admins.

X:  Furthermore there need to be more strict rules about inactivity. <--- It is not supposed to be a job. Activity is due to interested staff. 

X: Clamp down on activity    <---- Why is it so bad for an admin to be inactive? He is a trusted member of the community. There is not a universal rule specifying the 'maximum' number of staff members allowed, he is not holding up a space. 

X: have a specific playtime per week they have to play.    <- -That is insane?!

Promoting lower houred players that show potential, maturity and intelligence gives you a staff member that is just as capable of any other. The only difference is he has a lot of hours ahead of him and not behind him.

You make a good argument and i like how you countered the points. I do agree and can tell you with people getting staff so late on, sometimes took people years. When they have it they have done everything and then its like what do i do now, instead of administrating and enjoying your time on the server.
