The staff team

[BasicallyMental]

If you are referring to me, I have to disagree with you. I've never stated that I know what it is like to be a staff member. I've just told what I think about the whole situation.

Not referring to you specifically.

The only person recently who's actually realised the issue is Random with his resignation because he has other commitments which is why other staff members should resign as the inactivity hasn't risen since the end of the summer holiday like it was foreshadowed too.

I agree, if you don't have the time, resign.. However it is quite difficult to give up the rank, I was thinking about resigning a month ago (Infact I wrote my resignation a month ago..).. Especially when you really want to come on, but simply can't.

Not to be that guy but this comment made me laugh, the end but specifically.

You cannot give up power on a Garry's Mod community because you're worried you'll become a figure of the past being replaced by a new fresh face who is apraised for actually coming on to do the job they took. Having a life is great and the players do not ask for all 11 administrators (or how ever many there is) to all come online at the same time. All we ask is for 2 or 3 hours a day from the administrators. That could be split between them all, so in reality an admin is only coming online for 2 hours a week, once a week. However, we only get that once every month or so.

Imo, they should do what you did. You saw your commitments as a priority so got rid of something that could have been getting in the way. Power gives ego, hence why they don't want to let go.

What a shitty attitude you have about it lol. You're taking words out of his mouth to simply twist them into your opinion lmao. Giving up the position is much like leaving the community, you've done that before, haven't you? It's not an easy "yay or nay" question, it does need a lot of thinking. When I resigned back in January I had thought about it for at least two weeks, and talked with a lot of people about it.

It has nothing to do with "being replaced with a new fresh face", people volunteer to help, they should not be hammered or insulted for having prioritized their actual real life. I'm pretty sure you out of all people should know that...

Now, BasicallyMental, you talk about this subject as if you've been a staff member before... Well, I hate to break it to you, but you haven't, so please stop trying to be a "know it all". You really do forget that it is a voluntary job that you agreed to, not a duty or otherwise.

And what the fuck kind of statement is "Power gives ego, hence why they don't want to let go.", you have absolutely NO idea about this. Some people are, that does not include everyone else. People have a hard time resigning because you would in most cases leave Fearless behind, which is a big thing if you've played for multiple years, take me as an example.

Now, I've not read much on this thread, so I don't know if it's been said before, but please shut up if you don't know what you're talking about. 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.

Ya know what, mr, yes it is a really shitty attitude. Wanna know why? Because myself and all of the other players have been suffering for the past three months of shit on the server. We have been reading since the beginning of summer "Things are changing" "We are dealing with it" however still no change. It's frustrating.
Now common Jonas man, you even admitted to not bothering to read the thread. Most of my reply was a general response, some of it was aimed at the part that Random wrote.

I know I have never been staff and not at all do I talk as though I know. You do not join the servers, how an earth would you know if the team have become egotistical or not? I have enough of an idea on who has grown an ego and let the power get to them because as a community member is rubbs off. Massively.
Don't get me started on twisting words mr because at no point did i even mention leaving the community, I mentioned giving up the role and at no point does becoming a Veteran at all mean you have to leave the community? A lot of veterans come back and play. Lesanka is a brilliant example of this. Yes I left the community and then came back two years later, however, this is not my point what so ever. Some veterans have come back and I still am confused where you got leaving the community from.

If becoming an FL staff member is just voluntary, answer me this: why an earth is everything so strick. Why do they not take on new people? And don't give me the bullshit excuse of there isn't any candidates, the staff don't come online to look, don't monitor, don't give people a chance. Being a volunteer is giving up your time to do something out of your own will, where do you see them giving up time? Maybe they have given up time in the past which as a community we greatly appreciate however they no longer have the time to give up and so should had that position to someone else who can give up their time to administrate the servers. The community have a tendancy to appreciate the staff team when it is deserved. When they were active, giving up time they were massively appreciated and we relyed on staff, however the staff are not on to appreciate anymore. Nor do we have anything to rely on because even player reports are barely answered.
I'll give you an example, just to help you out: Staff Member A comes online, bans some minges, answers some PR's however Staff Member B argues on the forums and shows off his power. We don't see any of Staff member A anymore so cannot appreciate them. All we see as a community is Staff member B.

Quick side note; Attitude on attitude doesn't fix shit.
