now i know that the decesion of selectin a new OP/Mod is upto the Admins/Staff, but i am suggesting that we should have a small election type thing for the selection, not just someone who is aproved of by the staff, but we have two candidates, two people that the admins aprove of, and we have an election to see who the public prefers. now as i stated, the decision is up to the Admins, but this is just a simple idea, now i have also though of the server just voting for who they please, and may select someone who is unfit to be the next moderator, but this, in my opinion is something that could be helpful? i sorta lost track here.... lol

not sure about this...

I'm not too sure about this either :S

I was speaking to Angel_Lord about this suggestion and she thought it wouldn't be as good as we think it would be because someone could come online and be a griefer but not grief the server until they become a Moderator as a group of them could come online and support one of the griefers until they become a Moderator which would cause havoc on the server. So if you have any responses for what she said, I'm all ears.

I can see where Angel_Lord is coming from, but the players the Admins/Mods choose will be trustworthy, long time players, is a well known person in the server/forum community and knows the staff pretty well, like some of us do.

But it really boils down to personal preference on the Admins/Mods and who they think will be goo potential candidates. They are the ones picking the people first and us as a community decide who we think would be better suited for the role as a Mod

I am in favour of this idea but I'd just like to say: someone could appear to be trustworthy but when they become a Moderator they could cause hell xD.

I know they could but I don't think someone would be willing to put the time and effort into the server just to become a Mod but I suppose its just as easy to report a 'bad' Mod as it is to report a normal player, just screenshot everything

I'm glad you guys do see where i am comming from. Karl, thanks for your support, i mean i personally would find this to be helpful if we can get the communities support in who THEY want to be the next Mod/OP, but this is just my little idea.

No worries if an Admin or INEED approves then maybe we can test it on the next moderator staff and then if that was successful maybe it would be posted on the home page in the news feed section

I think you guys have a nice idea, the only thing is, people can nominate as many people as they, but it is really up to the admins. Minus the fact of haveing an untrusted griefer as an op, the admins have there own system of choosing new ops. So I Personally am not so sure this would be a good system in the long run. Mainly just because, it would take a long time and hard to organize a system like this, plus the 4% of players who get chosen as moderators does not happen very often, so it might be easier to let the admins and INEED to decide.

I know what you mean Lick but masterrbc meant that the Admins/Mods choose two very trustworthy, kind, willing etc... players and then us as the community decides which one of the two gets the position

the fact that you would do that would be pointless because it is worth $20 or pound or whatever, it'd be useless to make excessive accounts to jote for yourself. Think about it!

and once again, thank you for seeing where i am coming from karl

Nope! If we did the election in-game only 100 people could only vote. Also some might not be able to vote because of work, school, sleeping or on a holiday(Unless you play minecraft while at these places)

Nope! What do you mean pros

Nope!
