Factions Staff

Factions currently has NO active staff. Last season, there were 4 moderators that actively played factions. Out of those, 1 was demoted, 1 (I believe) resigned, the other 2 are still mod, but none of these players have been very active this season. I think it would be good if factions had at least 1 active staff member that is an active player of the gamemode (and thus is familiar with the gamemode). I don't know if the plan would be to find staff before or after release of next season, but I do hope it's a priority. I do also have the concern that players from other factions servers will join and will expect an active staff team (as EVERY other factions server will have) I think something that could also be considered is some way for staff to receive player concerns, and potentially pass those concerns to higher staff to get answers (i.e. maintain the gamemode's "public relations"), especially given this gamemode's troubled history, though not sure if/how that would work yet. (and I don't know if staff have a similar role in the other gamemodes) I personally want to see factions rules remain simple (and see it as a good thing for "new to factions" players), though if it was decided to implement more rules in the future, this would also put the server in a position to enforce them. It's worth noting that staff have network wide permissions to my knowledge (so RPG staff can respond to issues on Factions), though I don't think relying purely on staff from the other gamemodes is ideal. One other thing - in terms of if I would apply for staff, truthfully I haven't decided yet, though I wouldn't rule it out. I do have some concerns that I would like to see addressed first before I seriously consider it.
