Disclaimer: I just want to get this out there. This is not a toxic post or in any way meant to be toxic. I am stating all of my opinions pure-heartedly with extreme constructive criticism. I will call out people to my heart's content and I genuinely don't give a fuck because at this stage of Reborn I will call out my friends if I have to. If you cannot handle it, do not report on the thread nor read it.
I have been in this community on and off for around a year so I know mostly what I am talking about or I might just be ranting for absolutely bullshit reasons. But I end up expressing myself at night anyways so who gives a fuck? But let me give you little pointers on what needs to be fixed because I couldn't be asked to just respond to Shepard's thread on the matter and I want to discuss a lot of shit.
Let me give a brief rundown since staff refuses to or think taking staff sits is boring, then the superior staff member should force their inferior staff members to complete the staff sit and fucking deal with it. I have sent numerous staff calls so many fucking times and the staff is so oblivious to it because they think they are entitled to not do their job because they are staff and just don't want to deal with bullshit situations. Like seriously, Anzati the god of all minges, lord of all apes has commented on the amount of staff calls he fucking finds on his HUD and how ridiculous it is. It fucking drives me insane staff cannot do their job correctly. I AM NOT SAYING STAFF DON'T DO THEIR JOB COMPLETELY. They do their job most of the time after you spammed it for like 10 minutes or at least run up to them and contacted them about it. But if staff is just chilling in TS not giving a fuck about the world and just strolling their marry way refusing to do their job because they want to talk with their friends or not deal with certain shit is just frustrating and stupid. Anzati has also pointed out that superiors should be telling their lackeys to go do staff sits because it is purely not their job to do so. If there are Moderators on, let them do the staff sits and maybe supervise them, take notes on their job, or even just help them out. If staff calls start booking all moderators and the next rank and next up until yours just accept it and deal with it. All superiors in the staff team are just either back-ups (Senior Moderators+) or paperwork people (Super Admins+). The fact that a monkey could compose a better job than a fucking staff team you guys need to get your shit together. And if you say I am not contributing, you damn right I'm not. But I am going to, I am going to make a Gamemaster Application so we could have more events which is a topic I will discuss later but either way I am trying to do my best to contribute to the server and it may not be in ways of staff or server conduction but it is effective to the server's funds. So now staff I will tell you to know your roles because you are definitely not completing them all for a few exceptions of which I will not name because I am trying to not be displayed biased at all.
Staff rarely have huge contact with each other, one main reason this community isn't fulfilling its potential is that portions of the community aren't united. About a month ago I suggested a Community Meeting to discuss toxicity and updates regarding 4.0 prior to its release. Everyone -1ed it and hated the idea including Shepard. But now I think myself and Shepard could both agree that the Community Meeting opened his eyes a lot towards the community with new ideas and concerns that could make the community a better and safer place. Why can we not have community meetings every month? Even so, that is not my topic to discuss here. I want to suggest to add a staff meeting to instead occur every month so staff actually knows rules and they know what they need to improve on and such. Again the main problem with the community is that we aren't combined, we are instead divided. "United we stand, divided we fall."
Introduction
If you don't know me I am the noob, the legend Estrella. I currently main Sith Bounty Hunter Estrella Ordo and have 3 other lives I barely get on that include, Sith Lord Scorpion, Jedi Master Estrella, and Gray Master Hanzo Hasashi. To contribute to the server I construct and rig 3D models of hilts on my spare time to make sure everyone has a custom hilt because they paid fair and square for it. I also have a wide interest in reading, anime (yes, I am a closet weeb), Airsoft, as well as coding such as LUA or Python a bit. I have been in this community on and off for around a year so I know mostly what I am talking about or I might just be ranting for absolutely bullshit reasons. But I end up expressing myself at night anyways so who gives a fuck? But let me give you little pointers on what needs to be fixed because I couldn't be asked to just respond to Shepard's thread on the matter and I want to discuss a lot of shit.
Staff
I'm already getting into a heated debate by just discussing this topic. But clearly, everyone needs to know. Obviously, there is some staff that just isn't on and do jack shit on the server to assist it. Back then we were thriving with staff so there was no reason we shouldn't have staff sits and activity. Now all I see is the exact opposite. Staff Duties and Ranks
At this point, most Staff ranks do not matter as all Staff has basically the same fucking duties because they refuse to differentiate themselves in terms of classes. Why aren't staff doing their "common sense" duties? Every single goddamn staff has the same duty of just doing staff sits and solving situations on toxicity and rule breaking. If that's the case why are there different staff ranks? Just for inspiration to achieve greater within the team? No that is utter nonsense. If you join Staff, you should be loyal and know there are no benefits whatsoever, just to do a job and serve the server that has once given you satisfaction. Super admins are currently the only fucking people who have more abilities than the average staff member such as Senior Admins and below. Therefore these individuals should have separate objectives or tasks. Let me give a brief rundown since staff refuses to or think taking staff sits is boring, then the superior staff member should force their inferior staff members to complete the staff sit and fucking deal with it.

Toxicity
Time to discuss another pressing issue that plagues Reborn. Toxicity, oh toxicity. At this point toxicity means absolutely nothing, bullshit, that is what it is. Accusations of racism have been pulled out of people's tongues so much that it means almost nothing at this point. You should be able to relate toxicity to this except it's just a sweaty person in front of your screen talking mad shit to you when you know you could shove your foot up their ass. Am I trying to say stop saying "toxic" towards people? No. I am simply saying that it means nothing at this point and cannot be used as a justified reason anymore towards anything. Now we are going to have to regard toxicity as disrespect considering how many people want to abuse the word just to get their agenda across. It's annoying and pitiful. People use it to show how someone says "Shut up, noob" or something like that. I believe insults should be based upon a serious level like the intentions of what the player said, like how severe the toxicity was shown. For example: "Yo mom is fatso" vs "Shut the fuck up you asshole, die in hell". Which one is more toxic? That's all for staff to decide and usually, people use these occurrences as just evidence to use against a person they despise. It's like the Salem Witch Trials. People would claim others are witches and get them executed for these accusations, its a hoax or just mass hysteria, but what toxicity is in the community is purely a basis to get someone a person hates punished. My suggestion is to stop making reports on this toxicity shit and just deal with it in-game or contact staff if its on discord or some other media to solve issues and arguments. Staff reports just allow people to vote on how much they hate that one person and he may not be toxic, the person might just snitch a lot or something for all we know.
