Mod Applications

Hello Meep,

After much deliberation we have decided it would be best to remove the moderator application in its entirety. Instead, moderators will be promoted from helper by supermods monitoring performance* until it's to a degree we feel fit. The interview will still occur and will be adjusted to accommodate the lack of application - including questions about prism and other basic staff commands on top of the thorough moderation supermods have been doing. We see many benefits to this: helpers will continue to perform their best through their promotion, potential applicants are saved embarrassment or ridicule from being denied, it will encourage more dialogue between high and low staff, and, most importantly, helpers will be encouraged to have more of a community presence.

This is where you guys come in! To accommodate the lack of community input in this decision, which is crucial to know a helper's performance, we encourage you to use staff complaints for any issue you might be having. If it's minor, feel free to mail a supermod in game so we can investigate. (We also want to hear the good things!) We need the dialogue from you guys, but we find many more pros out of this than cons.

Thanks for reading,
MeepCraft Staff

*Supermods do a review of helpers and moderators biweekly and have been doing so for a couple months. The review includes modreq counts, modreq quality, reflections on both positive and negative attributes, and a log of any issues we have come across.

 

I really like this idea.

 

Seems reasonable.

 

Sounds good

 

Better than mod apps. Sounds like a good plan

 

Its interesting to say the least. I love the part where if a hper gets his interview denied it's not half as visable.
Moderator wasn't even that big of a step up anyway lol

 

We are making strides in defining the moderator position, their responsibilities are just internal.

 

After reading it again not right after I just woke up... I really, really like this.
It actually inspires people to work harder.
This is awesome.

 

I like this a lot, but what about the mod apps that are out right now?

 

i want to be helper wat do i have to do?

 

apply.

 

I'd imagine they'd go as normal for now and they just wouldn't do future apps...

If you don't know, I'd suggest spending a lot more time on this server before applying. Server knowledge is pretty much a requirement.

 

I never got the point of a 2nd application so ok

 

i am half and half on this idea

 

I like this idea.

That is a nice idea. I'm trying to apply for staff. I have known this server really well.

 

We just need to make sure people are fair too

 

I like this idea. I like it a lot.

 

Grammar, maybe? what* I*(2)
