Felt like posting here for two separate things.

Quote
1, the issue of TidalMewMew not being on as much.
Trust me, she's dying to be able to get on every day. She lost her internet because her mom can't even afford it anymore. Their Paypal was hacked by her mother's jealous ex-boyfriend so they can't use that anymore and she's hardly getting enough money to even afford gas so that's shut off. She's now even lost her phone because her father let the contract end and never renewed it.

She's only able to access the internet now because she can go to her grandma's every so often and get on a laptop there, but she can't access Minecraft for some reason because the browser never works for it and she can't download it. She is try to fix it though, she's trying to get a job to get money together to pay for a new phone and internet, so I'm hoping soon she'll be able to moderate like she used to.

I understand, Thanks for the info but no reason to post about people's personal life on a public forum you should be ashamed of yourself..!

2, about the mods not being as active.
I hate to say it, but Minecraft is not as important as passing college and high school exams. Yes, they signed up to be moderators. But they did not sign up to completely cripple their grades and fail their exams just to take care of us, now did they? It's very selfish to demand them to be on all the time when it can take hours just to study for one single exam. And they've got several.

Don't drag things to far Twisted cause what you just said is not what we are talking about, we have not demanded the mods to be on 24/7 we have asked for more mods, asking for more moderators and demanding people to come on is two very different things so read thru the post a little better next time.

Quote
Also, we never demanded that the mods needed to be on 24/7, because I for one understand that mods are normal people and have real life situations to attend to. All we want is for there to be more moderators, not more active ones if they have real life events.

Wrote by Danniel when i wrote this and he means the same.

Twisted we aren't demanding for mods on and we don't need to know tidal's personal life. We aren't demanding mods to be on 24/7 we are just asking if we can have more moderators. I brought up twisted cause he obligated to being on when needed and she isn't. Like you said on skela's situation there personal life isn't excuse to do something do be careful with what you say.

EttaDreamfeather · « **Reply #27 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 18:37:54 »

Rude? I'm giving the reasons why she can't be on so no one thinks she's not on because she doesn't care. It's not rude of me, she doesn't mind if I give the reasons for it because of this. It's not like I'm posting her name and phone number and everything, so why does everyone care? She said it was okay to do, no reason to get all over me about it.

Seriously Achmed? There's a difference between your own behavior and a situation you can't control. You're pretty much saying there that it's her fault she can't afford internet, which is not true in the slightest.

"When you apply for moderator, you're agreeing to have the job of putting up with harsh situations if need be. You need to be online regularly. If you're barely online, are you sticking to what you promised in your application? Nope. More mods would possibly just pile on a bunch of AFK players in-game, but if the Admins were to try my suggestion then they'd see who the strong/loyal applicants are, wouldn't they?"

You going to try to claim Minerman did not say that? It's not their fault they have exams which happen around twice a year. It's not fair to say that they have "events" as if they're doing it all the time. Once their exams are done they'll be back on.

I agree we do need more mods, but the mods we currently have are also good. There's no reason for us to say they're not fulfilling their commitments to us when they can't control the fact that exams are so very important to them and they can't sacrifice the exam grades for us. They already give so much of their time, it's just not right to claim they aren't "doing their obligation" to us by demanding more.

Danniel and miner, I`m a little disappointed. Both of you should know Twisted and Tidal well enough to know that Tidal knows exactly what Twisted is posting here AND that Twisted would never post anything like that without Tidal being ok with it. Especially 2 good candidates for a modpost like you two should know their fellow gamers better than that

achmedofhell · « **Reply #29 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 18:41:48 »

U must not be comprehending this. We need more mods from Europe end of story. That wraps this up. No need o talk about tidal no need to talk about any mod. We just need European mods

Tidala · « **Reply #30 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 18:46:06 »

If im not on and im being talked about Twist is very much allowed to speak for me as long as it isnt about moderator things. We're as close as we can get without being sisters, she knows what she's talking about. I dont mind if she explains.

The problem with more mods is its more trouble. More mods that you cant always watch and control. Especially when we lose our cool, no one is perfect and we all do it. More mods also means more distance between us and the admins, which also leads to trouble.

If i remember, besides late at night my time, there's almost always a mod on. we need at least one more to cover another time zone, but how many are you people implying? more spaces for more of the random people who put apps in? Some of the people just joined in a few days they put in an application because they just want it. Its not like there are excessive perks, most of your personal gameplay time is nerfed and you have to help people, your game is on pause until you do your duty.

Its less European and more... Aussie if i remember. there's a time zone needed to be covered. Please be respectful in your posts directed at people, this is your warning.

achmedofhell · « **Reply #31 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 18:48:44 »

Thank you for replying tidal, this clears things up. Also does this warning apply to twisted?

I'm sorry you feel this way. But I personally find it upsetting that Twisted has posted something about Tidal's personal life on here, even if she doesn't mind it. I definitely wouldn't want something about my own private life posted on this forum for people to read and, maybe, even take advantage of.

And I personally believe that there isn't a need for an Aussie mod yet. There should be more activity during that time zone before even thinking of getting a Mod there.

Also, in response to you Tidal. Nobody was disrespectful here, everyone was just expressing their opinions on whether or not a new mod needs to be chosen. More mods does not mean more trouble. In fact, it creates less trouble.

Tidala · « **Reply #33 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 18:58:07 »

I cant see the disrespect, so no not really, its directed at yourself and Miner. Disrespect is not tolerated. Also you may think im siding with her if you want cause i hardly care what you think about me. Think all you want. She gave the reasons im not on and they are out of my control, the other mods and admins know and that's what matters.

I understand what you're saying, but alot of servers have alot of mods, random mods that do squat, and its chaos. 2/3 servers i played, the mods were just his friend and were douches tbh. Not saying names tho.

Problem with the timezone is the first major spam attack happened late, with no mods on. Someone had to fetch Ineed to lock the server in case anything happened. We need a mod to cover just a little more of the late nights since i cant be on to help cover it and Emp wont be able to forever.

Apparently Euro mods are all we need? Seriously? That's still another time zone gap we'd need to cover. That could be taken badly, at least alba rolled with it and turned it right back on you.

Get back and stay on subject people.

As Danniel already said I feel the same way, I would not want any of my private info except what I post myself on this forum, just thought others may feel the same

and sorry Tidal if I went over the line saying Twisted cant post about your private life

Actually, I deleted the post you are refering to because I will not further comment the fact that european applicants for mod state that only european mods are needed as next mod. And that apparently all the australian/asian gamers have less right on a mod than the EU gamers (despite having a respectable number of users on the server). Being a european living in Pacific-Asia I`m actually a bit ashamed that some Europeans (and in one case here one American) really dare to post something like that.

The only thing I will say in this whole discussion before I will simply ignore this "We EU-applicants want another EU-mod (and no Aussie or American)" topics: If i had to pick the Mod the choice would be very easy for me: Masterrbc (I might not always be his opinion, but I highly respect him as a gamer/forumposter and able mod-applicant.

Oh, I see. Sorry about that. It had been quoted in one of his posts when I went back through when I was posting at that point. My mistake, I apologize. ^^

Techsam · « **Reply #38 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 21:24:24 »

I know that I'm coming in late to this topic, but I'm not really a person who stalks the forums. I personally think that the server does't need more mods. Yes maybe some mods in different time zones would be nice, but for when mods are not online on the server the community of Noobstown is very capable of dealing with people who break the rules. So as reporting the player on the forum. I can agree that sometimes things can get out of hand on the server when there are not moderators online, but so far I have seen people do a great job of making sure everyone follows the rules.

danniel1998 · « **Reply #39 on:** 2 Jun 2012, 21:29:09 »

Yes, I agree that the community is good with dealing with it, but not resolving the issues. Such as griefing or spamming.

Samson, i'll try and clear it up as to why we want more moderators.

Ok, yes it is quite true the all of our players are able to tell people that they are doing the wrong thing, tell them to stop spamming, tell them to stop swearing and so on.

Now if you think about it, Noobstown is just a boat. And we are getting holes/leaks which need to be patched, we aren't able to find enough people to patch the wholes and keep them closed, ,some people are just putting their hands and feet on the holes for now (Which is what our players do best at trying to prevent things), but soon our later, we either need to get more people to help, teach some others to mend the boat, or we drown,

That is more or less how i see the server when it comes to more moderators and that, we're getting too big a holes to patch on our boat. And said holes are the timezones as well as some different things/matter, We don't have enough people who "Know" how to patch our boat.

I hope that that has explained some other things, i know tat you know most/all of this, but i am saying this to help others who do not know the situation and/or giving you some more info

Tidala · « **Reply #41 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 01:27:07 »

Don't worry too much about it, Fatnoob wouldn't let the server down. Just trust the admins and mods and we'll see what comes of it.

I agree we need to focus on the missing time zones but then again some of us(when active) sometimes defy that. I was able to cover quite alot of time, being on for part of aussie time, but that's still not good enough, even I have to sleep XD

They'll manage, you'll see.

masterrbc · « **Reply #42 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 01:36:02 »

Tidal, i wil ladmit you are always trying your hardest to help cover the aussie times, i will not only say for myself but for any-other Pacific-region players that you contribution is very helpful, and we are quite thankful, but as it is repeatedly said, we need to get an aussie/pacific region time moderator

Tidala · « **Reply #43 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 02:08:45 »

I very much agree, and while i cant help right now, i can promise they're working on it.

masterrbc · « **Reply #44 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 02:29:39 »

Yeah, i hope we get this resolved ASAP!

EttaDreamfeather · « **Reply #45 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 02:53:30 »

Felt like mentioning what Esp told me earlier today. He'd talked to Ineed about all this, and Ineed said that everything should be sorted out by July.

Not sure exactly how they're going to accomplish this, but at least we're given a date on when things should be better. :L

skelaguy · « **Reply #46 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 03:09:04 »

Hey I have a good idea(even though im banned) remember what i said I would never leave the server forever(even if I only can use the forums lol)
I think you should mod danniel and achmedofhell personally I think they know how to handle stuff better then the mods you already have(no offense)and they are on a lot more then most of the mods, so if there was a vote or something for a mod i vote either one of them or both of them.

Please do not reply to this mad at me because im banned lol.

masterrbc · « **Reply #47 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 03:31:04 »

Ok, this is where stuff starts to go downhill, The Australian/NZ/Pacific timezone is not being accommodated for.
Making danniel and Achmed a mod will not do anything for the Pacific regioners, how hard is it to understand? (i am not yelling or anything just saying! XD)

skelaguy · « **Reply #48 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 03:35:19 »

Master I really dont know timezones that well I just always see them on.

masterrbc · « **Reply #49 on:** 3 Jun 2012, 03:38:34 »

Ok, Danniel is in the EU timezone, and so is achmed (i think), i and a fair few others including Alba, are in the Pacific Timezone, there are no moderators online at our time due to them being asleep
