MODERATION TEAM UPDATE
Summer 2022
━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━
Hello Lord of the Craft-ers!
I’m excited to share all that has happened in the moderation team since our last update back in spring! Namely, I have become the new Admin for the team! We’ve also added a few new members in the last few weeks, so be sure to give them your congratulations.
We all look forward bringing them up to speed and working alongside them closely in the coming months!
Along with the new members I have some exciting changes to share that will hopefully improve your experience both in-game and on the forums!
Forum Rules: Complete!
Thanks to the help of our lovely managers ZachoSnacko and Burnsider, our forum rules have been rewritten, giving them a much needed face-lift and making them more straightforward and leaving less up to moderator discretion. You can read them on the rules page, or check them out right here!
Public Appeals: Complete!
In the interest of the community and of staff transparency, we have decided to trial unlocking public appeals. Our philosophy behind this is to enhance the appeals system by allowing our community at large to play a part, however small, in policing our community, as ultimately you guys are the most affected by banned players returning. Our hope is that by allowing you all to weigh in on these appeals, it will assist the moderation team in making decisions that will benefit the server.
While we are eager in allowing you all to voice your opinions of the players’ behavior and actions that lead up to their banning, we also ask that there is some level of decorum in posting on these appeals.
Heists: Complete!
The current state of heists is kind of abysmal. The mod team has done what we can to get on top of apps but as they are currently, heists are a hassle for both the players and the moderators. In an effort to solve this, we’ve decided to temporarily remove heist applications, allowing players to simply make a modreq for a heist-able item instead of having to fill out paperwork in order to roleplay. Rules will still have to be followed, so you can’t just yank items out of a frame or armor off of a stand freely, but if you have the roleplay ability to steal something, modreq for it and we will help you out. Once the modreq has been claimed, a team member will either help you immediately if they have the time, or schedule a time up to a MAX of 48 hours later.
If you have any thoughts that you’d like to share about these updates please feel free to post here or reach out to me privately on discord! :)
