Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Jansen]

Hey, Badmins, why don't you go to page 1 and read the original post? Maybe take some notes, or vanish. I can put my hand on fire and bet we would do much better without a staff like this one.

Let's see the issues.

1. Most of you complain you have a life, and you can't take decisions over night, you automatically exclude any legit reason of why you offered as admins in the first place and the wise thing to do in this case would be a either you get back to your damn senses and do what you're supposed to do properly or move on, we could find better people.

Did you read said first post? We have decided to do quite a few things via votes as that appears to be a rather fair way of dealing with things as it gets input from all Admins. As stated in said first post which you apparently did read very well, votes are usually carried out on a weekly base, which kind of means that things take a week or a bit longer to be decided and implemented. But maybe you could show which parts of the post you mean. I also have highlightened a few things for you.

The Admins volunteer their time to care for many aspects of the server. Their responsibilities include enforcing server and forum rules. They also activate new forum accounts. They process various requests including SRP's, Core Upgrade Requests, Faction Creation Requests, Official Faction Perk Requests, Player Requests, Unique Ship Requests, and individual requests from players via PM or Skype that cover a wide range of needs. Additionally, they care for players who have Lost Ships/Accounts, Stuck in Connecticut, Missing Powerplants or have Accounts Banned for non rule violating reasons.

There are other responsibilities that Admins care for, many of them time consuming. For example, tracking down evidence of cheaters/hackers. Many of the Admins spend countless hours talking to players or faction leaders on Skype about various issues that concern them, or simply wanting feedback on some of their ideas. Muddling through Rule violation reports and processing Sanctions takes much time as well.

On top of these duties, the Admins regularly get together to discuss relevant and timely topics that relate to the server. These matters are voted on weekly, and if approved, announced to the Community, and implemented. After all these duties are cared for, they try to find time to actually play the game, which doesn't amount to very much.

Keeping these things in mind, the Admins are opening up this Admin Feedback Thread in order to get community input on how we are serving their needs. This is not a thread to argue any sanction that an individual might have received. The place for that is in your Sanction thread. This is also not a thread to campaign for a spot on the Staff. Lastly, this is not Flood. If you take this thread seriously, we will treat you seriously. If you want to be respected and listened too, then post with a respectful attitude. The Mods will be instructed to invise any post here that does not meet these fair guidelines.

We want to serve the community as best as possible. If you feel an Admin has done his/her job well, then post here noting it. If you feel an Admin could do better, post that too. Hopefully, this thread will provide the Admins with ways in which we can improve the quality of our service towards the community.

2. One can't English, so another makes posts for him, cute but unacceptable. Should be replaced.

His english certainly isnt perfect, but neither is yours or mine, guess thats what happens if you dont have a team made out of people that dont have english as their first language. Im not aware that anyone has made posts for another person to cover up flaws in that.

3. One makes up rules over night and after being proven wrong multiple times by multiple people, acts as if nothing serious happened.

See above on how things like that are handled. There was a lot of discussion before these changes were implemented.

3. Bias. I'm not even gonna get into detail about it, after all you're all just so smart and mighty that whatever you say should be law. No, I'm not gonna play under these "laws", and this "laws" of yours is what's killing it. Congratulations.

How is bias and whatever you call "laws" related? Those are completely different things. Guess this also should be point 4 or something.

I can keep going but I'm just wasting my time typing this. I'm trying to show you my and a few other people's points as we're being tired of this Disco-Admin-Masonry bullcrude behavior.

Ok, would in general be helpful if you could provide valid feedback the next time. Pointing fingers on posts that you somehow dont seem to have read, while just generally being negative doesnt really count as valid for me. Saying that you "dont even get into detail" about things also doesnt help and will just likely just be ignored.

And oh my god, black widow got called a pootang in system chat, holy cow. Big offense. I mean he did dock, he did give the impression that he really is what he was called (hell, not even sure if that was aimed at him, nor really care, its black widow.) so you gotta delete the ship, even after the other dude apologized. What, you'd like that to be an example as what's it gonna be like from now on? You'd like us to suck your feet so we don't get that punishments?

I r confuse, refresh mind.

Im sorry, but you dont even seem to know what the sanction was about, neither do you seem to have read the appeal as there doesnt seem to be an apology or some sort of insight from the person in question. Not sure what your other fancy remarks are pointed at, so Ill not comment on these.
If you want your feedback to be taken seriously then I'd advise you to at least have read the relevant parts and not rely on hearsay or wherever else you got your information from.
