The Opticraft Suggestion Thread
smd75jr:
Disclaimer: This is NOT directed at anybody in particular though it may use examples and ideas from other people.
Recently there has been a massive increase in the number of players and with it, the amount of griefing. Sadly, it would appear that not enough has been done to address this situation yet. While there have been a vast number of improvements to the server and the Opticraft community, I (along with many others) feel that some improvements could be made.
This list is in no way complete and may be added to at any time.
1. Moderators Are Players Too:
Just like police officers can have the day off, moderators still want to be able to build like everybody else. A good feature to implement would be a form of badge system so that mods can go on and off duty in much the same way that taxi cabs do. This would allow mods to do their jobs, but also be able to build and contribute creatively to the server and the community. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-adminstatus-v1-5-tell-your-users-if-you-are-helping-or-relaxing-permissions-1-2-3r0-1.48748/ (possibly integrate it into deject3d’s plugin).
2. Captain, She Can’t Take Much More, We Need More Mods:
Sadly, we have lost quite a few mods recently, and the remaining ones just can’t keep up. With the massive increase in players since the 1.2 update the current mods just can’t keep up with the demand. Due to the increase in players there is also an increase in griefing and if we do not add more moderators to combat the griefers then players will begin to feel ignored when they request help if nobody comes to help them after a while. While deject3d’s plugin will help imensly, it still comes down to how quickly a mod can respond to a players request. To put it simply: We Need More Mods!!!!
3. Mod Apps? THIS!! IS!! [Your thread was moved to Moderator Applications – Rejected] Wait Rejected?:
I know that at the moment people who have had their Moderator Application rejected aren’t supposed to ask why if there was no reason given, but how is anyone supposed to improve if we don’t know why we were rejected in the first place. It would be very helpful if a reason was given if an application is rejected so that the applicant can try to improve so that they can hopefully be more successful during the next round of applications.
4. THE SERVER CRASHED!!!! Meanwhile In New Zealand -> “Ring Ring” **OPTI-RAGE**:
Servers crash, anybody who has ever run any kind of server whatsoever has had this ingrained in their mind for all eternity. So what does one do when a server crashes? We reboot it. What do we do when the Opticraft server crashes? We hope that somebody with optical’s phone number is on Mumble and then get them to call him. But what if he can’t be reached, or can’t reboot the server immediately? Then we sit there and wait. To keep this brief: the operators need to be able to login to the server and reboot it.
Feel free to post or PM me with any more suggestions to add to this list!!!!

We know very well what our job is. We are regular players, yes, but we signed up for this. It is our job to work full-time. If people cant handle it, they can ask for a derank.
2. I do agree with you on this point, but quantity doesnt mean quality when it comes to more mods.
3. There could be plenty of reasons as to why people dont get it. But I do agree here too.
4. Operators arent always on either. :P

2.Moderators don't grow on trees, Moderators who are not mature enough or moderators that are just plain stupid would have a huge negative effect on this server. That is why we are so picky when choosing mods.
3. If you want us to give reasons we will add one line to every app that says "we do not currently think you would make a good mod" It is as simple as that.
4.The server should automatically restart when it "crashes".

2. True, however, I think at the moment there are enough good people who want to be mods that it could be bennificial to open up moderator applications for more than 1 week every 2 months.
3. That's hardly a reason -.-

Well if you get rejected, that is the reason why. Just saying.
