I've had a great run on this server with all you guys, and I will miss you all dearly. However, it is time for me to go.
The last 1.5-2 years I've spent here have been great. I can't thank you all enough for all the great moments I've had here and all the fun experiences I've had.
The reasons I have for leaving are not very specific and wouldn't make a lot of sense to those who don't see things from my point of view, but, to put it simply, I have no motivation to log on anymore. It's nothing that the users have done or any specific event, it's just the loads of problems that myself and the server are having. It's very hard for me to work up the motivation to come on when I know that I will be logging on to a server full of unhappy people who are dealing with a lot of bugs/issues that I can't fix (Not to place any blame on the coders, I know they are working hard). It's also just that I don't really enjoy Minecraft or have a lot of fun on the server when I log on anymore. There are other reasons as well, but I will leave it at that.
I hope that all of you continue having a good time on the server, and I hope that all the kinks get worked out quickly. I will be leaving a sort list of some of the things I do so that it will be easier for staff members to fill in the gaps.
Stuff someone has to do:
- Manage staff applications (pinning, denying, accepting, locking, etc)
- When pending: leave pinned with no tag
- When accepted: reply with "Accepted", lock, change the tag to "Accepted" and leave it pinned until they are added on the forums/server (then unpin)
- When denied: Copy and paste my denial message from previous applications, unpin, lock, and change tag to "Denied"
- Count vote points on staff applications
- Add members/remove members from staff or other groups on the server
- Add/remove people from staff on the forums (do not forget to check secondary groups)
- Builders should be added to Builder group in their primary, but have Professor in their secondary group
- Give staff warnings/manage staff warnings
- Help set up staff meetings (time, date, get staff schedules)
- Take suggestions for staff meetings (topics)
- Fire/demote staff members
- Also have someone explain to them in detail about why they were punished on the forums if needed
- Handle user reports
- Ban users/decide how long users need to be banned for what they did
- Check logs in mining world with Coreprotect
- /co l a:-block t:30d b:56, gold_ore, emerald_ore
- Teleport to coords and check for signs of x-ray
- Manage Staff Member, Student, and Professor of the Month
Again, thank you all so much for the good times I've had here! It was really hard to finally make the decision to go, and I'm sorry to all that will miss me. I will miss you all too! Goodbye, all.
