Hello! In this thread, I just want to note some current events and things that have ticked me off about this community and the whole entire dividend of MCSG in general.

Ok, I want you guys to put what I am typing here through your head and see if you have noticed what has been going on.

Recently people have been making more complaints than MCSG has ever received as a whole. Why have they been receiving these complaints? The lack of dedication and the un-noticing of a slowly degenerating community is why. MCSG has recently been looked at through many people as a "ignoring, lazy, dying community".

If any of the upper-staff of MCSG have noticed this type of behavior within its members, then why don't they do something? Why don't they do something, well, as it has been stated, MCSG has become "lazy". The foundation of this community is its members. The members make this community what it is today. This foundation of members have been changing. Change can be good sometimes, sometimes bad. But the change that MCSG has been living off of isn't so bright. The new staff that MCSG has been developing isn't much of a 'dedicated staff', as lots of people have been mentioning. The recent moderator pickups that MCSG have accepted haven't been the 'hard-working' mods that everyone wants. Want to know why?

Well, the new mods of MCSG aren't really what we expect them to be. Recently, my friend _____ was playing in a game on Holiday Resort. While he was playing this game, he ran into a player while looking for gear to continue on the game. Once he went into fight this player, he immediately noticed that the opponent had a high chance of using a hacked client or multiple. When my friend died, he went onto the MCSG TeamSpeak and looked for a mod in the closest channel. Once he found a mod, he poked that mod and said *within these lines, but not in these exact words* "Hey, could you please come to my game in ___ to look into this player that I think is hacking?". Once he poked the mod, he waited a minute or so and noticed that he hadn't got the poke back. So, he went on to the next mod and poked him the same question. Well he went on to 2 other mods after that, and then one finally came into the game. Once the mod got to the game, he wen't into game master (A mode for mods that you can't see them by using the tap key) and was watching the hacker. My friend said *within these lines, but not in these exact words*, "I poked 3-4 mods and you were the only one that answered". The mod replied saying *within these lines, but not in these exact words*, "You aren't supposed to poke multiple mods if there is a hacker, you can record a video of the hacker and post a report abuse". My friend responded *within these lines, but not in these exact words*, "Well, what if I didn't have a recording software, nor' did I have a good computer to record videos on Minecraft?" Then the whole entire thing went on about that topic and the mod banned/kicked the hacker and it was a jolly day.

Why couldn't the first mod respond? Oh, was it because he was busy doing otherwise? Oh, was he just not in the mood? Oh, did he just not feel like it? Yeah, well thats what this whole thread is about. Moderators up to this date have been lazy and aren't what they used to be. Now, what I see in a PORTION of moderators is 'Oh, I have a red name, and I have more power then you, but sometimes I am just too lazy to do my job'. I remember the staff of MCSG doing what they desired to do when they were in the middle of typing their mod application, keeping this community intact. Now, mods just get mod to have the experience, not to endure it.

Feel free to express your feelings in the reply section below and please vote on the poll above this text section of the thread. Thank you for taking your time to read this.

This thread is highly suggested not to be removed in my opinion, as it could help this community out in the future and can be a benchmark of how this community's staff is slowly dying its prime characters roles down.

Edit: Some of you may comment about some of the mods actually doing their job, as I mentioned in this post is that I am relating this to a PORTION of the mods, not all.

If your afk get Off the damn TeamSpeak...

You do have to keep in mind that Mods are humans. They can sometimes be busy, how do you know if he's/she's not dealing with another rule breaker? On the other hand, they may be AFK and just didn't put themselves in the AFK room. I realise that the probability of the that happening with three Mods in a row is slow, but just keep in mind aren't superior beings that are on all day all night powering through hacker.

On the other hand however, it's not the dedication of Mods that is the problem, it's the lack of them. I rarely see Mods (I play EU) even though I play 3-4 hours daily if not more. There may be more on different servers or on different times but with such a high amount of Mods it shouldn't be a major issue.

TO THE ENTIRE MCSG COMMUNITY IN GENERAL

I've basically given up on this community. It's basically all been just debate, debate, debate, debate, debate.

I can't honestly do anything by myself to stop this whole ordeal, and I don't want any part in it anymore.

However, in reality, does all of this matter? Is being a part of this Minecraft community going to matter in let's say 20 years? Sadly, no. The only reason I've stayed here is because this has been my starting point. Every since I started playing MCSG and talking to people on TeamSpeak, I got over my fear of social conversations. If I mess up a conversation, I can just leave and 99.99% of the time, I won't see them ever again.

We all care about this community. There would be no point in posting on this thread if we all didn't care about the community we love.

TL;DR: I feel like this is only MineCraft, we shouldn't grow extreme hate with each other over a video game.

While I agree with you on most things, I must admit I havent given up on the community. Things liek this are impossible to prevent, people will always complain and others will always state their disagreement. Yes, its annoying, its sure does annoy the hell out of me that people cant do anything but debate, this is a videogmae community, we are all here to have fun, and possibly make friends, thats it. That is the reason Ive stayed here for 2 years and I have no plans on leaving, because of the good friends I have made here and the possible ones I cant meet in the future. We really need to take a moment to think about the good, and not always look at the bad.

On a side note, Why was the main post written in black? I have to highlight with my mouse everything to be able to read it...
EDIT: Just remembered, obviously its because the user that made this thread uses the MCSG theme of the page.

Yet another pointless thread with no evidence nor strategy to overcome the problem.

This thread was his opinion on mods not doing their job,the fact that you just say that that is absolutely ridiculous.

All respect has been lost.

 

[Ceroria]

Dave quit his job for this community!

And after that happens we see a sudden spike in data. People who Dave dislikes are becoming quickly banned and removed with expertise.

 

[Nick]

There really isn't much more to discuss given that Dave has given the staff's side of the story but I just want to add one more point before I lock the thread. We all have IRL stuff, I mean I have an exam in about 40 mins that could determine my future and I'm not the only person who is currently having exams right now, but we still put our blood, sweat and tears into this community.

But at the end of the day, you know what this whole thing is? It's a game. It's 2 million people, playing a game.
Thread Locked.
