Alright guys, this Friday, I would really like to host some sort of server kickoff party so that we can begin trafficking to our newest server. I was thinking of maybe having Dethman schedule a TF2 populate event for the server, and I was also considering doing a ton of item raffles, including a few things out of my own personal backpack. If anyone would like to donate to the raffle to help get people into the server and get the word out that we have a new place for trades and events, I'd really appreciate it.
 
Let everyone know that this Friday evening, starting at about 5:00pm Mountain Time, that we will be meeting and populating our newest trade server. There will be games, giveaways, raffles, and prizes galore. I want it to be a big deal, and I want to hit server capacity as soon as possible, and keep it as booming as possible throughout the night, so that hopefully people will find it in the server list when they search the keyword "Trade". My thought is that if we can get it populated and flow in enough traffic, it will manage itself.
 
@Dethman, can we get a Populate event scheduled?

Sorry dude, just laughing a little, totally agree with chicken though here, I was informed on what happened in JB for you today that made this happen, next time if you have a problem with one staff member maybe make a report or something if they're doing something wrong, not trying to make some big change like this because your frustrated. :)

The thing is that a Moderator is given that position for the Division they're active in, not the Server. Moderators aren't confined to one specific Server, if anything a problem only arises when a Moderator refuses to check on an issue in another Server just because they don't play on it.
 
Although it's a good suggestion, the applications of it just seem too frivolous. With that said, don't be afraid to shout out any other suggestions or ideas you have in the form of a thread like this. Community input is always considered and appreciated!

How about no?

Edit: INB4 someone says "if they want mod so much, why don't they just hop on and be active on teamspeak herpaderp"
That used to be a regulation we use to follow, but now with the questionable promotions of certain people, it seems as roughly getting 3/4 requirements of what is apparently needed is ok, and for some people even just filling 2/4 requirements are ok.
 
If you're confused on the 4 (main) requirements -
-Active On TS
-Active On Forums
-Active On Servers
-Has a mic (before anyone starts bitching at me sayin "you don't need a mic derrr" keep in mind, kittylicious was promoted without having a microphone, and then everyone started yelling saying "she doesn't even have a mic, why is she mod!!!!!1111oneoneoneone).

I dont know anymore. I was just suggesting an idea.

Isn't this what moderators do now? I don't understand what you want. Moderators have one server they love and play on the most, and moderate other servers when needed. It seems you're complaining that no moderators use Jailbreak as a main server.

As I said in the initial start to this thread, the moderator wouldn't be just confined to that server in particular.
 
"they wouldn't just be confined to one server, they could patrol other servers as well but would focus on their specific server mainly."

No. All moderators go to all servers. This has been talked about in the past, and it would be a waste of a moderator position.
 
"Hey Guy #1, there's micspammers on Pokemon, can you go fix it?"
"Sorry Guy #2, not my server."

After experiencing countless freekilling, reentering, micspam, and just plain F2P wardens with no knowledge of the gamemode on TF2 Jailbreak server #1, I decided to make this thread. As you all probably know there are alot of I guess divisions of I guess I'll call it higher ranking members, such as DL, DM, M, A, etc. Well I thought of the idea of having various moderators for different types of servers, like Saxton Hale, Trade, Jailbreak, etc. These various moderators would have special knowledge of their specific gamemode. And as you know moderators, admins, DM, DL, etc patrol various servers, as would these special moderators, they wouldn't just be confined to one server, they could patrol other servers as well but would focus on their specific server mainly.

REMOVE LCT.
This seemed like a good thread to bring that up.

Welcome to the forums of Tumbl-.. err I meant xG.

You expect me to read all that shit?

Alright so this was something brought up a handful of times already, with not a lot being done about it.
 
Welcome to the wacky world of discussion of... Leadership. Follow me on a journey through time and space, where we will first stop off at the solution, and then follow it up with the reasons that I deem a change necessary.
 
Solution

The current setup of xG leadership is as follows:
 
Community Leaders: Silence, Nomulous, Hidingmaster (me), Dr. Lee, Diabeetus
Division Leaders: Tf2, CS:GO, Minecraft...
Division Managers: You know.
Administrators: You know.
Moderators: Yeah, you know.
Members: Love you plebs.
 
It works, for the most part, but there are some very easy changes that can really help make the community a lot more easier to.. lets say.. navigate. Essentially go back to what we had before:
 
Leader: Mr. Rhodosilencdendron
Co Leaders: 2 trusted members of xG
DL
DM
Administrator
Mods
Members
The nomulous, who is like a leader, but more for the technical side of things.
 
 
What does this accomplish/help improve on?
 
Well, I want you first to question (those who aren't CLs) who you would turn to when you had a question that required an authoritative figure to answer. Right now I bet a lot of you would turn to a variety of people, from DL's to a CL (but not all im sure), to even a DM. There is not one person people can turn to to get an answer that is definitive, its a lot of "I think this is the right answer".
 
With having 2 trusted Co-leaders, it becomes much clearer who people can ask for answers that need a solid and definitive answer. DLs and DMs alike would be able to turn to one person to get an answer, not an entire committee. Co Leaders would be of equal power, almost acting independently. If CoLeader gives an answer to a question, than the community can trust that is what will be followed. I know people will think that gives them too much power, but remember a few things. It worked very well in the past, the second Coleader can be brought into the discussion and have a joint decision, and this is not for the MOST important topics, but those that can/need to be solved in a timely manner. Silence of course will retain complete veto and his word is final in 99% of the cases.
 
 
So why?
 
1) People need someone they can turn to that they can trust, that will answer quickly, and that they know are giving an answer that will not inflict punishment against the person asking.
 
2) The current setup leads to a lot of issues going unresolved, or at least going unresolved for a unacceptable amount of time.
 
3) Having 4 CLs leads to way too much confusion. People are getting unbanned who shouldnt, bans changed when they shouldn't be.
 
4) There is absolutely no discussion between community leaders. When first founded by Forest, community leaders were meant to work together. As a group we came up with rules to help govern how decisions would be made. Every CL would be included, a 3/5ths vote required for the most important issues, and promo demo would be approved by all CLs before being published. This is where the issue lies. Observe the following:
 
 
April 26th:

 
July 23rd:

 
 
 
July 30th:

 
 
August 9th (This monday):
 

 
 
 
 
The first three were located in threads that both Dr. Lee and Diabeetus viewed, the last picture is of a conversation sent to both of them with no response as of yet.
 
 
Hopefully y'all now understand why it takes so long for answers to come from Community Leaders, why there are conflicting responses, and why things never get wrapped up. I'm not here to berate anyone, as I have been negligent in answers occasionally, but when you have a person in leadership who gets ignored by the others you can't expect a system to work efficiently; thus I propose a change to a smaller group where the Co-Leaders have more power to help solve issues.

If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument would you invoke to prove they should value logic?
 
 
 
What you choose to take out of context from a long time ago to make a case against me far exceeds my reasoning skills. I don't roll over for whiny kids and I don't walk on eggshells to embrace delusion. I do fire back at disrespect and BMing. I have no regrets.
 
 
 
I will rest in peace knowing I have completed my mission.
 
 
 
~best wishes, take care
 
 

Why can't Xg grow up like Sammy

@Ryan_Sebastian and @ShadowGhost2
stop trying to start shit on here
 
if i were u guys i would lay low on the forums, u guys are just asking for shit to happen to u.

God, this guy again?
As I said before, if youre opinion does not respect someone else, the opinion itself doesnt deserve to be respected.
That thread went to shit, it became full of people fighting, salty shit and people started joking about it. And every time I join a server people are fucking annoying and transphobic about it.
Stop acting like you're such an innocent person who deserves to be treated well.
