Maybe not being that harsh with a level with ''copied'' designs, its obvious we'll sometime will wanna use a desing more than 100 times, and some peeps do it, and others not, also, the judges, they usually judge with the expresion '' oh, your level is ''needs improvement'', knowing that i build levels worse than you'' all the time, if they are judges, they maybe wanna know somethings in the creator that maybe improves the result (like if it was on mobile, the fun factor, the lenght, the objects, the building time, etc)

I've seen a LOT of people complaining about the forums recently...and that led me to ask you guys what we can do to improve. What are we as staff doing wrong? What would you like to see changed? Ask any questions or leave comments here. Serious replies, please >__> The demon list, somethings are just wrong. Increase number of staff

The demon list, somethings are just wrong. Increase number of staff Like what? Some levels like ICDX are overrated in this list, but it's just my personal opinion. Nobody has to stick to the list, because it's heavily opinion-based and people may disagree with these placements.

The demon list, somethings are just wrong. Increase number of staff Like what? And also change the staff. Most of them are just known players that are very inactive, and some of them I'm not sure if they even have an account here

Frankly enough, the warning percentage is really random (sorry to display, I think that's against the rules, but idc rn, I'm salty) prntscr.com/dj61ukSome are on spam, but most are on me being a fagg to other people. Like honestly, if you're gonna give warnings, make them consistent mods... Idc about bias. EG. Spam: +5 Warning Rude Words or Phrases: +10 warning Or something like that, not seemingly random based on what the mod feels. >->

Most of them are just known players that are very inactive, and some of them I'm not sure if they even have an account here Looking through the staff list, which admittedly is not huge, the only ones this description fits are Viprin and RobTop. People like mgostIH and serponge are staff yes, but they do their job well. Also, not sure if I misunderstood you, but the last part confuses me. How can someone that doesn't have an account here be staff on this forum in first place? To be honest I think the current staff choices are fine, some mods could be promoted to admin tbh, but Will only recently has and Delta became mod. So I don't see much we could/should change here.

If you don't want us to do anything about it, then most of the good/feature-worthy section would be full of copied designs from other players.
also, the judges, they usually judge with the expresion '' oh, your level is ''needs improvement'', knowing that i build levels worse than you'' all the time, I don't know what you're saying. Judges don't compare their levels to others. Never. Besides, even if that was true, we wouldn't say our levels are worse than that level.if they are judges, they maybe wanna know somethings in the creator that maybe improves the result (like if it was on mobile, the fun factor, the lenght, the objects, the building time, etc) Length, objects, and the building time doesn't matter. It matters if the level is good or not. Fun factor is mainly judged in gameplay, because to get a high score in gameplay, it has to be fun and non-buggy.

I think he was talking about the Extreme Demons List, they were carrying that discussion on earlier. I kind of agree, practically half of the staff there never or rarely edit the list.

I think that some of the staff are really inactive and should be removed. Inactive staff is really unhelpful to the enjoyment of this community. For instance, Lumpy. HE WAS FREAKING LAST ON IN JUNE 2015!!!! Also, I can't really trust the staff if they hide their status. How do I know if my reports will go through and actually be listened to? There is no way to tell if you hide it. Keeping it open is responsibility. And is there a way to turn off level requests for you level judges that don't want pm's about levels as soon as they are on? A major point to me is that I don't know if anyone in EST is actually on at any time given. The only admin that actually posted more then 2000 posts is Will, and his profile shows that he is a member. (yes I know he is a admin) Also, I think that a lot of staff only became staff b/c they are famous. If they are literally not on for 4+ monthes, I think we should get rid of them/lower their rank. They are responsible for keeping it clean here and if they are not here, it is becoming cancer. Also, I think that there should be an auto-mute for serious discussions. It would save a lot of unnecessary posts that are unfortunately serious or important to the wellbeing of the forums. (not sure if proboards will allow that) whew now done my rant like suggestions.

Also i mean a ''system'' for the Lenght, Objects and BT are be nesseasary, because some levels arent actually masterpieces but those things may upgrade their points, like for example: Lonely Travel, why it is a master piece? because it doesnt goes after 30000 objects, it goes for 6 minutes and also was built in just 3 months, not just because the other 3 factors (GP, Deco, and Sync, the ones always used).

There is no way to tell if you hide it. Keeping it open is responsibility. Wow, that's a lot! Lumpy has been fairly active, you can see in threads like this one that he is still around and doing his job as a staff member. He's just invisible, so the Profile won't show the correct latest active time, only the latest time when his activity was still visible. I don't think it really matters if some staff hide their status (although I'm basically indifferent, so I can be persuaded otherwise): there are still those that show their status, and we always go through the reports and discuss threads together. You can tell this has been happening by the warnings we give out and the attention drawn to specific threads/members that need to be dealt with. A major point to me is that I don't know if anyone in EST is actually on at any time given. The only admin that actually posted more then 2000 posts is Will, and his profile shows that he is a member. (yes I know he is a admin) Also, I think that a lot of staff only became staff b/c they are famous. If they are literally not on for 4+ monthes, I think we should get rid of them/lower their rank. They are responsible for keeping it clean here and if they are not here, it is becoming cancer. Also, I think that there should be an auto-mute for serious discussions. It would save a lot of unnecessary posts that are unfortunately serious or important to the wellbeing of the forums. (not sure if proboards will allow that) whew now done my rant like suggestions. Like I said earlier in this thread, I live in the EST time zone and I'm pretty sure there are a couple others who do. Although we definitely can't be on for the entire day, I think we could try to be more active generally (or at least on standby) in case important things happen. Also, I'm not the only admin with more than 2,000- if you look through the Members tab and search by Posts, you'll find that Lumpy and Safyire also have over 2,000 posts. I've also partially agree about "inactive" staff- I think they can stay for help with important decisions and handling reported posts, but they don't really need to be in a staff position for that and I think we could use someone who is active in all locations instead. However, almost none of them (Viprin being the exception) have gotten their rank because they were famous. They were helpful and active in the past, and over time they just slowly participated less in the forum itself. Also, I think that there should be an auto-mute for serious discussions. It would save a lot of unnecessary posts that are unfortunately serious or important to the wellbeing of the forums. (not sure if proboards will allow that) whew now done my rant like suggestions. What do you mean by auto-mute? If there are members who post with a low degree of quality on an important or serious post, they will be warned. I don't know how we would mute them unless we gave everyone separate roles and permissions, and that's a lot of unnecessary work that isn't 100% accurate.
