no support

 

Exactly.
Also, completely off-topic. I mean like wayyy out there.
I LOVE your signature.
And that song.
So yeah.

 

No just no

 

Look at cyp, he's an admin and is 7

 

biased.
If you weren't applying, or are, staff then you would probably feel differently. Sure, wisdom comes with age, maturity comes with reactions and judgements based under the harder times.
But statistically there are more mature people who are in their mid to late teens, than early teens or just tweening.
Of course, this brings the question. How do you tell how mature one is. Simple, you put them under a series of stress inducing tests, and see how they reacts. Well reacting = more mature than the ones who crack.
However, the younger minds have less space to react to negative and tend to be more influential than the older crowd.
I know of many different places and servers that have age limits to a staff team, it's not biased. It's simply because there are statistically more mature players who are over (said) age than immature.

Recently I have seen many more young players become staff members, where as older players resign. This is purely observation, and not to a full extent.(so don't say "So and so resigned and (s)he's ** years old")

Tl;dr
Maturity has no foundation on age, but it sure seems that there are far more mature older people than mature younger people.
Younger people are more likely to crack under the intense "moderating pressure" that there is, than older people. Who have more experience with more stress filled things (more schooling work, more chores to do, activities are longer, etc).

Don't hate, appreciate.

Cyp's decisions of course, are all up to him and his standards of what he wants. And will most likely (and hopefully) not pick a more immature or "nooby" mod Snoopy117 #1noob Kappa jk ily

I feel that purely observation wise, there are positives and negatives to both of the age groups in terms of maturity
Older(good) More experience with life, stress, etc. Older(bad) No age set for how mature one is
Younger(good) More experience with the younger crowds of skyblock. Younger(bad) No age set for how mature one is

Ily so feel free to reply, I won't read it. lol

 

This kind of answer is the reason I want a "respect" rating. Anyway. I do not support because, for one thing, it would make stating age a requirement for becoming a mod, and there are some people who are uncomfortable with doing that. I am one of them even though I am in my late teens. (no. you're not getting the exact age.) Also I agree with pretty much all of you guys. Pretty much everyone who has posted here has a point. Now I do think that the younger moderators can sometimes be better than the older ones because 11-year-olds are less likely to get involved with all that drama that was going on a few moths ago with Dirty and Kurai. When all the older ones are competing and back-stabbing, the younger ones just keep doing their jobs. I think that 12-year-olds and people in their late twenties make better mods than people in their early twenties and teenagers. My evidence is anecdotal and circumstantial of course, but so is most evidence that people have posted in here. In the end, this argument comes down to a difference of opinion, pure and simple, and it's Cyp's opinion that really counts in the end.

 

No. Look at sala. She is only 12 and she's been mod on net and hellblock, and she did great. Still, there are older people who are not as mature as she is. So that's why I am saying that it's not the age that matters, but the maturity that the person has.

 

I dont agree with you, but shouldn't the title be, "Moderator age minimum"

 

No..

 

This is just no...Everyone has a chance to apply, and become a mod. If they aren't ready for mof, they won't get promoted. But if they don't have the chance to apply, what would we do? Many of our spetacular moderators are under 13. And where sid you come up with 13+, why not 10+, or 18+?

 

This thread..

Maturity is in no way at all defined by one's age. I was a moderator on .net, hellblock, skywars, guard on mineverse, and I'm 11. Flippy was great, and he was a few months younger than me. Taylor is amazing, and she's 12. Jelly is awesome, he's 12. There are so many moderators under this age, you'd get rid of half the staff team. Having young staff shows how mature and amazing our players are to have such mature people on the staff team, despite their young age.

Age is just a number, maturity is defined by experience and understanding. I do realize, experience and understanding often comes with age, however that's not always the case. I've seen people in their late 20s act no more mature than my 5 year old neighbor.

If you are deemed mature, you will have a staff position, because you deserve it dammit.

What you said about it getting filtered, it already is. Moderators are picked carefully. It's not like "oh this player has a cool skin let's promote them." Plus, why count out the younger ones? We are all the same, we just haven't been here as long as you or someone else.

I find this thread offensive, as you're acting like all younger children are the same and immature. This is not the case.

I despise this suggestion with a passion, good day.

 

This is te most silliest post I've ever seen. We have some young mods, but that's still good, they work and do just fine as any other mod would. Age is just a number, so do not ridicule the age for immaturity, if Cyp seen that they were well enough to be a mod, then they wouldn't be a mod. Good day.

 

Let's use Kron and Terrick for example:

Nuff Said.

 

What about Muffin and Dirty?

 

It's funny to me how I honestly think there should be a requirement. And I say this simply because by far one of the best systems I saw was on another server where there was a minimum age of 16 if you wanted to apply for moderator. However, with that minimum age, younger people could become mod if they had staff recommendation. As it has worked in the past, Cyp pretty much always chose who got promoted but that didn't mean that the staff could not make suggestions and often times, the people we suggested were promoted. If someone is deemed as mature but doesn't meet the age limit, the staff can easily recommend them. I find that a system like that works wonders.

 

I used to agree, but then I met people like Veggie64, salamander9o, Taylor1211, Supermonkey000 and others who changed my mind.

 

What's wrong with McMuffin?
