Best Posts in Thread: Meeptimes

Hey, so I was wondering why resignations and demotions wasn't mentioned in the Meeptimes since it's "kind of" important to know who is in and who is out.
I talked to CluelessKlutz about this, and he said that it had been suggested a lot of times but been turned down everytime. He said that it was because the meeptimes are supposed to be a positive thing.
it would make it easier for the players to keep up with whats happening on the staff team instead of having to go search around the forums to find the staff member that left recently.
and if u want it to be a happy thing just thank the people thhat resign
and u can say like"unfortunantely player24 was demoted but we hope to see them work on what was wrong and hope to see them reapply in the future if they have improved etc etc

so yea thats basically it, a small suggestion. thnx 4 reading

 

I can completely understand a staff member who has stepped down or been demoted wanting to keep it private, so sure, don't include whether it was a demotion or resignation and why it happened, just put something like this:

Recent Staff Departures
Person has left the team.
Other person has left the team.
Thank you to both person and other person for your hard work as a staff member.

It keeps it positive for a demotion/resignation section and doesn't give away too much information that resigning/demoted staff member wouldn't want to get out there, but enough for a player to know that the player is no longer staff.

 

Ehhh...I get your point, but I'm not completely sure that airing staff's dirty laundry will foster trust between the staff team and the playerbase. If we included demotion/resignation reasons, the meeptimes could get very ugly very quickly.

Imagine something like:

Meeptimes: "Metr0n0me was demoted for x incident, doing a bad job on a, b, and c modreqs, and being rude on i, j, and k occasions.

Me: "I totally didn't do x! It wasn't my fault! It's Klutch's fault!!"

--a few lines of random people taking sides here, and an escalating flamewar

Klutch: "You were complete and utter crap as a staff member. You never did anything properly, and you didn't help the server. Bye. Thread locked"

--2 hours later, 6 threads about "WHY DOES EVERYONE LOCK THREADS!! CENSORING!! CORRUPTION!!"

Imagine the complete and utter s***show that would go on EVERY TIME someone left the staff team for the most mundane of reasons. It's really none of our business.

edit: I could get behind simple updates like: "Metr0n0me has been demoted on 12/29/16. CluelessKlutz has been promoted to supermod on 12/30/16. Courtneyyy has resigned on 12/30/16."

 

It is absolutely our business if someone resigns or is demoted As start staff are a major public part of the community. Reasons out not our business but their rank standing is ours.

 

+1 staff should be more open to share information with the community instead of concealing it in every possible way
