Here's an idea:
Change the name of advisor to ex-staff.
Only people who you would trust with advisor get the rank of ex-staff.

We have administrative powers.

But we don't have administrative authority, there's a difference (I'm not allowed to overrule an admin, etc).

Why not just sticky this, possibly make it a little more organized.
This is a perfect example as to what I was referring to in my previous post above.

Rather see all the ex-staff whom deserve to be acknowledged, rather than the just the new ones.


(Thanks to Ruler for finding the thread)

I don't see how it's fucked up or ass kissing at all. I'm giving my honest opinion about something.
Rise or fall wrote:You been here for what, a year? So you'd receive the title ex-staff when you decide to quit.
Just about a year, yes. Also, yes, I would receive the Ex-Staff Title if I decided to resign.
Rise or fall wrote:What makes you any better than say, Moab?
He held SEVERAL different positions, never was demoted for anything inappropriate or for breaking the rules. He spent nights helping stop dupers, solving cases and keeping the staff team in check.
I haven't ever said that I'm better than anyone, and I definitely am not better than Moab was. Even though I wasn't around during the time that he was a Staff Member, I still know a little about him, and what positions he held. The only difference between myself and Moab (based on your brief description) is that I haven't done anything to stop dupers, because there simply hasn't been a dupe case. Everything else that you listed that Moab has done, I've done as well.
Rise or fall wrote:So just because he wasn't staff for this current time frame, all his loyalty and hard work in the past basically goes unnoticed.
His hard work and loyalty hasn't gone unnoticed in the slightest. For one, you noticed (and still remember) all the hard work that he put into PkHonor, right? I wasn't there during his time, but I still recognize him as a respectful ex-Staff Member. Mike, Rapsey, Dylan, Maurits, Stefan, Patel, etc etc...they all remember how hard he worked as a Staff Member. Just because he isn't receiving this rank (which again means absolutely nothing) doesn't mean that everything he put into PkHonor is unnoticed, because it's most definitely noticed and greatly appreciated.

Also, @Hayden, if I were in their shoes, I simply wouldn't care if I got the rank or not. Why? Simply because every other server that I have played, and been a Staff Member on did not give any ex-staff rank when I resigned. Once you resign or get demoted, that's it. You're just a normal player again, end of story. Might just be me, but that's just my opinion on things.

Somebody new to manage the staff team sounds great!
I already thought it would be an ass kisser or somebody who is influenced alot by one certain part of the community.

The order of updates which you will work on are also fantastic.
Restoring my faith in the server a bit, (banning every player/+ eco reset would also be very good in the long term, but that probably won't happen :D).

I'm going to have to sort of agree with this, unless necessary exceptions can be made. There are a few ex staff members who inarguably deserve this rank.

Alternatively, you could always just say, "we reserve the right to decide who gets ex staff." This way people don't feel like there's an injustice done to them because they were just a few months short of a certain set requirement. You guys know very well who put their heart and soul into this server (and never harmed it), and you guys have the ability to decide who *deserves* this rank. It doesn't have to be a rule written in stone.

However, people have to also understand that just because someone who deserves doesn't get it, doesnt mean that Mike and rapsey have any mal-intent. It's a neutral disposition, one that basically says, "here's the set rule. If you follow the set rule, you're ex staff."

That's it. There's no other subjective thought behind it or any malice, just a simple rule that is simply followed.

That doesn't mean the rule does all people justice, but it's not meant to be an offensive rule either.

Welcome to the community, Billy.


Side-topic; I'm curious as to why it was set at nine months :P
