TOPIC: [Deathrun Suggestion] Disallow time farming.

Server Name: Deathrun

Suggestion Title: Disallow time farming for staff members.

How would it benefit the server: A lot more staff will do their jobs properly.

Potential Issues/Exploits: May result in some people resigning or getting demoted.

Additional notes: The deathrun time farming rule got removed a few meetings back and I wish for it to be added again, some of you may disagree with me but think about this:
- Why should we have staff who're not there to help others like they're mean't to.
- Some staff members do not go into spectator mode while attempting to time farm, which could end up delaying a round if no one is there to slay or to put them into spectator mode.
- If a staff is time farming while being afk and a problem occurs on the server, maybe a rule break for example they would not be able to stop what is happening which they're mean't to.
I am creating this because I only see a select number of Moderators and Admins who put the work in for the server and it would not be fair on them to do all the work while others sit back and watch, the staff should be treated equally and they should get their activity the same way others get there's, by playing on the server and helping out other who need the help.

I don't think that'll be beneficial as some staff due need to be afk for like 2-10 minutes, But I do agree with you on some points so

I agree with you on that jordz but i think this is mostly aimed at the ones that just just join the server and instantly afk for nearly a full map (9 rounds) as we understand people need to do things but as micky said it can quiet easily slow down and delay the round causing some issues

I actually agree with you Micky.

Great suggestion, Should be added Mckay!

no...

The reason we dont mind it is because it makes the server have players on making the server look better as it will show that players are online and get other new/regulars to the server to play it. Its simple and effective.

i have no issue with people being afk for a prolonged time

I dont care if staff is afk as well for a prolonged time. but if the staff constantly neglects their duties then i have a problem.]

maybe as a head admin of your server you can motivate your staff members to play instead of going afk?

This is good because then staff who don't care about the server and just want the teamspeak symbols (Xnator) will have to actually play

When I go into a server to see if the server needs help from staff and I see a staff member spectating, I instantly think he's handling reports and I go away. Instead he's just time farming and people on the server won't get any help.

Should apply for other servers aswell.

You forgot to expand your post by saying that when a player does come on, you engage with them rather than stay AFK.

A staff would not be doing their duties if they were afk for a prolonged period of time as a newer player may need help or a toxic player comes on the server and starts being really disrespectful and breaking rules etc, will it be the job of the staff members who don't farm to get the job done.
The point of being staff is to help people and how could you help if you're constantly afk?
Re-adding this rule shows who is cleary devoted to the server and who is willing to help others in need, that is the point of a staff member, and everyone who cannot get their 4 hours by playing and interacting should've thought more carefully about how active they can be, how helpful towards our servers they can be before applying, doing this could also aid in the newer feature being added where you can (apply) for lead team when it is opened just think about this, if someone who constantly time farms and does nothing for the server applies for lead team and you didn't know what they're like as you've never seen them in game, anyones point of view could persuade you to vote for that staff member even though they do nothing for the server which could result in having an inactive lead team member you may not have the same views on the situation as me but I am sticking to this point, it is stupid to of removed this rule in the beginning.

no reason lol

Nobody knows why it got removed.... Staff that are time farming are not even useful so if you need to go just leave and join back after and don't time farm for 1 hour....

I do not AFK timefarm or get the badges for the teamspeak icons (if I did, I would just give them to myself or already have staff on every server). You pretty much can't go AFK on Deathrun anyway, you get automatically kicked for being AFK around 20 mins.
I know you kicked me today for being AFK several rounds, that is because I accidentally left myself logged on when I went swimming

I support you as the rule being removed is pointless without a proper meaning. I see countless staff time farm a day or hours before the meeting so they can appear active and meeting the required time.The rule was removed as people were afking to help the server get populated, this isn't an issue and should stay as it helps the server out. The issue is staff afking when the server is dead at night, so they don't get demoted for not meeting their activity. This rule people will support and not support as they don't see the true issue.

TheXnator

add something that auto kicks afk people including staff?

seems like a much better resolution
