I know I'm going to get questions about this, I mean I already have but ya I never really thought I was gonna resign, but here I am!!! I've been applying here since 2014 and have really been working hard to get this position. I've been on this server for ages, seen staff members come and go, and see how things have changed. Obviously, not for the better. People leave if a team isn't good. If you go to a store, and there's bad sales associates, chances are, you're going to leave. After talking to old players & old mods I've noticed a pattern. Once the staff team starts getting a reputation for being toxic, dishonest or biased, people will leave and or resign. After I was promoted, I've seen how things work around the team, how rules are enforced etc. I was seeing patterns of bias, rudeness and arguments constantly. I tried to ignore them and overall it was just awful. Working in conditions like this can definitely take a toll on you. After awhile, I've noticed that there weren't many active staff in the list that we had, it was mainly the same four people going in a rotation of timezones. I started to see staff member go against staff member, basically every man for himself. People were spreading rumours, talking behind other people's backs and I honestly had enough. I did happen to dislike a member or two on the team, but ultimately kept it to myself to remain professional, mature and kind. After awhile, it started to get really bad and they turned toxic and really awful. I turned to another staff member about this issue, but kinda just kept it to myself. After awhile, my friend & mentor, Krissy was demoted. After that, things really started going downhill on the team. That's when I started to want to resign. I had resignation letters already written out, but never sent them in because I felt bad about leaving the other great staff members behind. After a while, I was being accused of leaking to my friends, being biased etc. It wasn't true at all, and it was kinda just sad. I didn't want to resign, and I wanted to try and deal with all the things going on on the team, but it just was too much. After talking to other staff, I decided that it was time to resign, after the team took so much of the fun out of moderating. Don't get me wrong, I loved moderating and I still do, but the team is just way too toxic for me to handle. I won't name any names to prevent this from being a call-out thread. I really appreciated having this opportunity, but after months and months of trying to turn the community & team around, I just couldn't do it. Thank you all
Same reason for me. Never in my entire life I imagined me resigning. I loved moderating and the people, but I just don't understand how things work here. I also won't name people, but some already know as I feel as if I can tell more to friends than I can to workers. Next time I know anyway. Thanks guys.
Sorry to say this but I can sense skyblock is going downhill and the hill is too steep to climb back up. Skyblock isn't what it used to be anymore. Back then, players would have fun and it was all about your own island and trying to trade and be friendly. Now people are being rude, and most people only play just to annoy people, and most of the staff members are not active in game and the server has changed so much that the player count dropped dramatically. I remember the good old days when people only played to have fun. Now, I can clearly see there is a petite chance that will ever happen again. I have Nostalgia for the moments in the past, but now skyblock is honestly getting boring, even though I hate to say it. No, I'm not saying the entire game is boring, just people are playing it for ALL the wrong reasons. Just play to have fun.
ok first of all if we were bad mods, then why weren't we demoted??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
oh you weren’t demoted lol it’s just a coincidence dough and you resigned at the same time anyways IDK
Yes I heard that but I would never imagine it would still be yet worse than from what it was from before. Cyp need to do something
We were both in this together that’s why. Only we knew what was going on, when we tried to say, nothing was done.
The Entire Truth | Skyblock Forums my theory, MY THEORY K? it’s just a theory is that he didnt like you
well said. i’ve never seen a team that is as inefficient and difficult as this one. we always said (before the staff managers were promoted) that the team just needed leadership, and it still does. but idk, it feels like every time there’s a step in the right direction there’s also 2 steps back. i do believe the team just needs good leadership, management, and someone(s) who could actually hold everything together. i’ve seen it happen, it’s not as impossible as the skyblock staff team makes it seem. kudos to you for trying to do the best you could.
theres always an issue going on within the staff team, i dont ever remember it being just peaceful. you were a great mod n a t a l i a, one of the best ive seen. thank you.
