    This is not a mod application. I would just like to say -
    I recommend Myrmidous for admin, developer, or manager. If you asked most of the Skyblock community, they would say Myrm was the greatest mod ever. Myrm is kind to the community, can do well, and they always try their best. If you agree to this post, either comment or like it so Mr. Cyp or Mr. Noobcrew can see it. If you are a mod, I am not sure if this is in the right area. If it isn't, please move it. Best regards -

    I don't see how he contributes more to the community than any other Moderator does?

    Can you give me a solid reason why you think he deserves a higher position rather than, "tries their best" because I don't see him contributing more other than his general moderation stuff and random profile posts.

    I personally think him having the Super Moderator rank is more than enough. Plus, I don't really think there would be a point in him being an admin, dev, or manager as he can already carry out his duties with his current rank.

    He's a paid moderator, as Dane said he doesn't contribute anything major to the community. However Myrm is a wonderful mod.

    Since when do Skyblock super mods get paid for moderating?

    ===========

    Sorry for my derailment there, let me get back on topic.

    It’s not up to the community to decide whether a staff member gets promoted or demoted at all. Feedback from the community on a moderator application might help bring motivation to the applicant, but in reality, the current staff team are the ones influencing who is going to get promoted, not the community.

    That said, this thread will basically influence nothing towards any future positions for Myrm. It might, but I highly doubt it.

    Myrm literally says my shift is up in chat all the time. If you asked him he says hes a paid moderator. At least last time I checked he was.

    Firstly I need to say that threads like these frustrate me. I see many great staff members who just don't get recognised even though they are working very hard and it makes me sad. I wish we could stop these threads, it isn't nice for other staff to have to see this. Most staff work hard and have been for a very very long time without recognition.

    But since the thread is up...

    For this I need people to look at someone like Leeeroieee for a moment.

    He has management experience and is beloved by the community and staff universally. He works his butt off for the community including developing plugins and moderating too. He is there to answer questions no matter the time and can be counted on to come online. He is mature, he is humble and he always is there to lend good, non judgmental advice without being highly invested in psychology and manipulation. He is gentle, he isn't pushy and he is so humble. He is a good listener and wants the best for everyone. He doesn't treat the server like a playground, he uses his brains and initiative and the is by far the best staff we have had on the staff team.

    I simply cannot say the same for Myrm.

    Then now look at the current managers:
    Kerahna has been staff for 4 years. She built up a reputation for being fair, unbiased and a role model. It takes something to be dedicated to a server for over 4 years as a moderator.
    fungamer333 undoubtedly is a hard worker. I watched her as a trial and full mod attack moderation duties with passion. One of the rare staff memebers that takes on every part of the role (forums, server and discord). And even being one of the top 6 for post counts due to all that work.

    I simply cannot say the same for Myrm

    Lee would simply be a better suggestion. He has done far more for this server than he is given credit for. If you think Myrm is doing a great job just give him a pm.

    Hilarious a mod gets payed but a dev doesn’t get payed, developing for free is just the biggest joke ever, I’ve never met a dev or anyone who works for free. On the other hand I also have no clue why a moderator gets payed unless that moderator actually had an administrative position which it is not apparent he does.

    Just so no one gets mad at Cyp, Crew or Myrm, he doesn’t get paid at all. He says that he gets paid in blocks as a joke. Perhaps irony because mods don’t get paid.

    It would be extremely unfair is he got paid real money

    To be honest Leeeroieee should be an admin or something. Since the day of his promotion he worked very hard for us and made the server a better place. For example take the horrible server lag we used to get when there was 50+ players. Poof disappeared after a while cause of him. And the new server he worked very hard with JustMatt so thanks to them mostly. Leee really made a positive change in the community. Also in me as he is one of the mods I always depend and count on him.

    Sadly cause of timezones I rarely see myrM like after midnight. He is hillarious and great. Also some players consider him as a role model which is also great but its like too early for these kind of promotions.

    ^ I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. Amazing pun, intentional or not. Topical given the subject of the thread.

    Both Lee and Myrm are wonderful moderators and I'm delighted to see them as super moderators, but as far as I'm concerned, Fun and Kera are doing an excellent job as managers so far. Skyblock's not really wanting for more managers.

    I think this thread only got popular because I posted in it.

    I'm very touched by the kind words, everyone. I honestly don't know what to say.

    Sorry if you don't agree. I do not mean to offend any mods. What I'm trying to sat is that Myrm and many other mods deserve some kind of bigger recognition. As for reasons, Myrm is always online, and no marter what he would answer a question to help a player. You guys can all have your opinions on mods. I just think some of them deserve more recognition.

    For example, does Lee get a ton of superstar recognition he deserves?

    You deserve them. You are by far the best moderator on the team.
    Yes but other mods are “always on” too. Just because a mod is on when you are on doesn’t mean only they deserve to be promoted. I can see you are being nice and sweet and that’s great but it also isn’t being so nice and sweet to other staff when you pick one member out. I can assure you there are mods who get far less recognition than lee and Myrm.

    You don’t say it is posted in discussion..

    Every Moderator is dedicated to the community and to the server. Their job is to make the experience of the players better. Myrm isn’t the best nor is the worst. Let me just add that Myrm has a wife and cannot spend a lot of time online ( Admin should ).

    This isn’t Youtube lol. Don’t beg for likes, because players will give the opposite.
