Staff appreciation day?
« on: April 13, 2013, 12:03:58 am »
    It seems a tad bit silly to ask this, but why is it we don't have this at least once a year, or once a month?

    Now the reason why I ask this is because, we all play the game everyday, or every other day, or maybe just once a week or a few times a month. Sometimes we come online with nothing better to do other then sit around and talk, or role play with friends. Or even crack jokes with each other as we gaze around at dem pixels.
    
      The very few reasons I decided to make this topic is, well, people like to make fun of the staff, disrespect them, and even say false rumors about them. May I ask WHY?! Why would you disrespect the very few people whom actually care about the game, and not just the game, the community as well!
      
     And yes, the staff can screw up, but what judgement call can you make on them, their humans who do their jobs as much as they can, and can't always be perfect, even messaging them all the problems of the game is more than likely what, 25 messages a day at least for them, and that's what was sent in perhaps one day.
  
    So what I am asking is...Can we have just one day, maybe a whole week out of a entire year, or month to just give some respect, they try to help the server, they cleaned up the community far much more than I have seen another staff do, Remember bonfire island folks? And how if you rolled over, you'd be attacked, sexually and it was not exactly fun to go there either. None of that is happening there now, at least not in local thank god. They tried, and attempted to make things right...So why must we just ignore them. Just one day for them to hear, Thank you for all the hard work, can really be rewarding, so perhaps from a week from now, we can start this day. Y'know, give it some time so this spreads, mention this to your friends, your family and even the group in game on feral heart to say. Thanks for helping us, for making sure the game is safe, for keeping up the good job since day one, and always sticking around even when there were hyena's in the pride lands. I think a staff, whose done their job for FREE, no pay whatsoever, deserves that don't you?

I am hoping this day is to start on Friday the 19th, and keep going for just a week of good behavior from everyone, as much as possible.

And for the trolls whom want to rant about how bad the staff is, go away, please do so, This is NOT a area for your input unless its decent to say. So please, if you want to be a kid, go rant to someone else, we don't want it here or ingame.

Rules!!!!
1:Be respectful, as stated above, if you have nothing nice to say, don't state it at all
2:Don't go off topic
3:Just have fun and be random if you wish to say hello to the staff, don't be terrified, they won't eat you, a polite hello is all they need. Not a full essay about how amazing they are, just a simple comment and walk away.
4: Rule 3 goes for ingame as well on that day, since they may be busy and etc, if they don't respond, be respectful and try later.

I think this is a wonderful idea.  Being a mod is a lot of work and just because they mess up sometimes does not mean they do not deserve our respect.  They have to look though their ban mail and some of it may be just random stuff from raging power players.  These people are the only thing keeping this game safe and fun to play.  If there was no risk of being banned what do you think everyone would be doing?  They keep the order and it is not a simple task.

Thanks i'm hoping it'd at least let the staff see that there are people who do appreciate them and what they did for the community as a whole.~

This is cute. XD I like this. <3

I'd gladly partake in this, although I don't know if we could really get everybody to behave for a week, let alone a day.
The thought is quite sweet though, and I think everyone (regardless of the day) should give their appreciation to the staff. They're hard workers, and they definitely derserve love, nuzzles, and support, all of the time~

This is a lovely idea. So heart warming ^^

I think we should appreciate the staff everyday, but obviously that's not gonna happen since they are some [insert word here] people out there who are just...nubs.
I really don't like that some people spread rumours and make judgements on staff members, when they've never even spoken to them before. Seriously, you can't judge someone if you don't know them! I wish people would understand that. -_-

Anyway, small rant over, yes, great idea. We'll make them feel so appreciated they won't know what to do with all that appreciation. XD
