So, the new rules just came out. It was stated very clearly that staff disrespect will get you banned. But what's the difference between staff and player disrespect? Yeah, staff can serve out punishments. But shouldn't that still mean that everyone is equal? I'd suggest changing it to "Staff and player disrespect". EDIT: I do agree that you should not be able to insult staff, but I don't find it really fitting for staff disrespect to get you BANNED for 3 days and player disrespect varies from "lol just ignore them" to kicks, to mutes, and to bans. Leave your thoughts bellow.
The difference is staff have this expectation on us that we do not ignore or argue with players. Therefore we are open to far more harassment and disrespect because we cannot simply block it out like players can. As well as this staff are supposed to have a form of authority. While we still have our ranks or lack of rank, and we build, trade and play the server, once we got staff we gain a different role. Player disrespect has always been a rule. The severity of player disrespect determines its punishment. It can fit into a few of the rules via your interpretation. It could be considered a chat offense. Eg. Calling someone in chat an idiot or stupid. It may be considered an extreme chat offense. Eg. Calling someone names that include racist terms or profanity in chat. Player disrespect is mainly covered in extreme chat offenses rule. It is not explicitly stated but it is common sense. Which is why "not limited to" is used because extreme chat offenses vary.
As Krissy stated that Mods do get harassed more than normal players. Mods are also held to a high standard due to the fact that we are supposed to be role models to players. As I have become a mod myself I have noticed that it seems that the Mods are the ones that get the most of the harassment. We mods are also dealing with a lot of other issues, like bans, hackers, people stealing and other horrible stuff, so we work hard to keep our ranks and we try to do our jobs the best we can.
No, it does not. You are allowed to give a Negative rating on Moderators post as long as you have something to back it up. About the suggestion: Personally I have never seen a member of The Staff Team disrespect any player and if someone do that they will get banned on forums as well as in-game ( As long as there is proof ). I agree that there should be a section where it says ''Staff is not allowed to disrespect others.'' Staying Neutral
This is just my personal opinion, but the way I've perceived, "Staff Disrespect" is if they are directly insulting me as a staff member, or my duties as a staff member. To explain better, if someone were to say; "You're stupid Exstatisfy" I would punish them for player disrespect, because they are disrespecting me as a person. But if someone were to say, "Exstatisfy you're a terrible mod" I would punish them for staff disrespect, because they are disrespecting me as a staff member. Others might take it differently, but that's my small take on it
Yes, staff gets more disrespected than players because when they punish people, most of the people gets very salty towards the staff.
Is being a terrible mod DISRESPECT? If someone would say "Extatisfy you're s***", yeah, sure. But someone being a terrible mod is an opinion, not exactly disrespect.
I've seen many moderators, in-game and on forums, not being able to differentiate between a discussion and an argument.
But what if I were to say "Exstatisfy I think you're not fit for the job of moderator because you've done X, Y, and Z and I don't believe those actions are characteristic of a Skyblock moderator"? Is that staff disrespect, even though I've thoroughly justified my point and stated it in what I would call a respectful manner?
While the mods themselves in the little group of players that they are receive more directed disrespect in general than directed at players in general, more disrespect and harassment happens to the overall community of players. In other words, more disrespect has happened to players than staff, but staff receive more targeted disrespect. The disrespect on players as is spread out like sea shells on the beach, but staff disrespect is more like the amount of food given to an enclosure of monkeys at the zoo. While there are more sea shells than food, the food is in one place more. Sorry if you felt as though the statement above was a bit repetitive, I was making sure my point was understood.
Sorry but I wont get orders from mods who can think they can give me orders just because they are mods. I have respect until a specific point.
This thread leads to a gap between player and staff. The staffs support the thoughts of other staffs, the players try to rebel against the rules. A Staff is a higher rank on this server which is to be respected. I like your way of saying what you said, but yes, you have to look up on every mod, no matter how old. A moderator is chosen wisely, most mods are indeed capable of being mature, even if 10 years or younger. You've probably been a moderator before, you're talking about experience. Same here. Staff are hated insanely sometimes and that's why this rule is existing. However, no one can prevent inconvenience or misbehaviour of staffs towards normal players, since a staff is a human and humans have never lived a perfect life without doing any faults or issues. These will result in a warning. Being demoted is working just like a normal player who gets banned. If a staff is mean to a player/member, he will be punished in demotion, if a player is rude to a staff or another player, thus will result in a ban. This is just how it works, this is how the rules were made. To be honest, I am not amused by all the rules either, but this is how Cyp decided to create them and that's just fine.
Well yeah change it to player disrespect. I don't care if moderators get disrespected more frequently, why should we have to treat them like special players. Anyways, if you want my actual option: Most of the staff disrespect happening now wasn't an issue two years ago. Now it is. That's all I'm saying.
