I mean that's what happens when a staff team is basically made from scratch. I was a fucking awful admin myself and the biggest reason for that was that i never received proper training for mod or admin because there were no lead team members to give it out. After that, deathrun steadily got more popular because the revine crew came back and suddenly there was another group of friends all playing deathrun and then after that it kept going. Everyone that played would talk to each other and that moved onto private teamspeak channels which inevitably meant that users would be alienated. Sadly, this hasn't gotten any better and the staff team is now essentially one big group of friends where everyone communicates with each other privately. Was fun to be in but must suck for someone who isn't a part of it. When people break rules, it gets talked about privately and that's where things like grudges form and now you have a state where people get verbally warned for swearing in chat because some staff members don't like being called that and take it personally rather than viewing it as nothing more than a message.

This is definitely not helped by all the random people who comment on the state of the staff team without even playing deathrun and definitely not knowing what's actually happened so the staff get painted in a bad light for stupid reasons. Now there are people in certain positions who are in over their heads and they're not doing great and the friendship group mentality means no-one gives them the proper criticism that would hurt them but cause them to grow as a staff member. Personally, i see the team improving with experience and there are definitely great staff members on it and if one thing's for sure, it's that the harsh abuse that the team gets is not helping at all and it makes you wonder why some people don't just go for a staff position themselves if they see such huge problems with the way the server's run.

It's great to point out the flaws that staff have so they can grow from it, but some people think it's funny to harass them instead and then call them trash (not at all saying this is what you're doing).
