Staff Guidelines!


Characteristics of a Good Staff Member

-You have to be friendly, and outgoing
-Ask players if they need help
-Use emoticons sometimes ( (: or :) or :D ) it's a manner of sub-communication. you sound friendlier when you use them.
-Ask players how the server can be improved
-Interact with your players! Ask them if they want to go pokemon hunting with you!

If a Player has a Question, Answer it

its just as important for them to be heard as it is for you to be heard.

Example of a Bad Respsonse:
"I'm not going to tell you what Plugins we have. I do mind telling you."

Example of a Good Response:
"I'd prefer just keeping it private. Why don't you search for Plugins? :)"

Doesn't the second one sound much friendlier? Damn. The point is that if a player asks you a question that doesn't hurt the server, than why not answer it?

Be Lenient

There are several servers where the Staff are the meanest, nastiest, most offensive people you can ever meet on the Internet.

if a player breaks the rules its probly because they havent taken the time to read them yet, Give them a chance to confesse and apologise, then if they continue to break rules give them a warning, and if it persists after that you can jail them.

Just be lenient with our players. Don't stress your rules to the point that you become a ruthless dictator on a Minecraft server.

Always be Friendly

I can't stress this enough. To handle a good server you need to make sure everyone on your team (including yourself) is as friendly as can be. Never cuss at another player even if they cuss at you, and just look like a nice person in general.

Got a problem? Deal with it like a sir or lady. Don't be a butt about it. The psychology is that if a person is being stupid, and you're being nice to them, they will see how stupid they're being.
