An elected Staff Member...

[apophis775]

So,

I've been toying with the idea, of some restructuring. I was wondering, what you guys would think, if one of the heads, was elected from all of the current admins/mods.

Also, if you have ideas on restructuring, feel free to put them here.

Anyone may post, and I will do my best to ensure thatanything you post will ***NOT*** be held against you in-game, on future admin applications, or anything else. .

Sounds like we're forming into Democracy.

[apophis775]

I was more thinking, of someone to represent the players a bit better.

[Allan1234]

hm... a Community manager? sounds good to me

[Doctor Clockwork]

*pops head in* Community Manager? I'll join that raffle. And sure, a sort of democracy would work.

[UnknownMurder]

Yeah... I don't like the idea of democracy, however I do like the idea of having a spokesman person.

[Void00]

Seems like a good idea , as long as this apply only onto the staff manager.

[apophis775]

It would be, someone elected from current staff, by the players.

[OliverCarswell]

I heavily concur and wish to join in that raffle/vote should it happen.

[CampinKiller]

I would suggest something similar to what Apollo did way back before DG took over and ruined it. Basically, the players elected a Player Representative, who couldn't already be on staff. If I'm remembering right, they had access to the staff areas and would have their own input in the staff decisions. I can't remember what power they had in game.

Though, if it's a staff member being elected, would it be to a new position (ie. Player Representative) or to one of the current head positions (HeadMod/HeadMin)?

Also, player feedback on this thread would be nice. It's for y'all .

[coroneljones]

If its a nonadmin player rep..they must make vow not to give away special confidential info...or face heavy consequences

[Infernus]

It would be nice to have one staff and non-staff representative, it will give us much better feedback from both staffs side and players side.

[TopHatPenguin]

Would be nice for us players to have someone to talk to about Improvements on the forums and server for example , and then this representative could highlight it in your meetings that I assume you have.

[Allan1234]

i can just foresee a shitstorm if we elect a player as a rep im not saying it WILL be bad but i can differently foresee a shitstorm of disagreements and arguments.

[coroneljones]

Thats why it needs to be a proffesional and maybe veteran player

[Minimike]

I agree with coronel on that. I assume most people would though.

[Obey_StyleZ]

Id like to be part of this, I always put the satisfactioN of the people in the server first.

[NoahKirchner]

that turned out pretty ok

[Feweh]

Lol democracy

[Symbiosis]

This was unexpected...

I'd throw RedOktober12's name in that bunch... also ElDefaultio and Kavrick. Active and seem to not be ornery. Good player advocates.

I personally feel that from a restructuring point, let Mods have some powers to impact the game when bugs surface. We had a round a week or so ago where it was delayed 45 minutes due to a bugged dropship. I'm not sure if you can track when they "step in" but clearly those folks are offering up their time to try to help the community. I know there's the risk of abuse, but meh, always the threat of DDOS, Badmins, drama, etc!


**Edit**

Someone necro threaded and I didn't notice the date... !

This is from over 2 years ago, frienderino

[Feweh]

Locked so people dont get the wrong idea, this was a long time ago before we had 150+ Players, 50+ Staff and a much smaller dev team.
