a nice clean discussion about...

[frozen]

... the fact, that we need more admins, and maybe even the concept of server police. why? heres my side of the story.

Lately, have you seen whats happening around us? Discovery is increasing in size drastically day by day, with an influx of every type of player, which includes roleplayers, complete randoms, oorpers, whiners, genuine players, etc. On top of that, the admins have a life, just like we all do. we surely cannot expect them to be admining disco 24/7, because lets face it, they aint getting paid for it, they are taking out their own free time to admin a server, which is growing drastically.

Look at the size of discovery. how many people do you reckon are currently part of the Discovery database? over 20k? and now, lets count the number of admins we have...korrd, caylith, hoodlum, ac_merc, xoria, igiss (hes the developer, i dont even expect him to be admining >.> ), kane, and majkp, the server owner.

do you see the teeeny weeeny bit of a problem there? i do.

now, this is what i suggest. we need to employ more admins, and ive definitely got a few people in my mind, who id love to nominate (so to speak) as admin [but that comes later. i wanna see if people even support my idea], and maybe 'baby admins', more like server police. these people pretty much fly camera ships with admin powers, but they have the ability to just do 2 things. .kick, or .ban (dunno if limiting admin powers is possible, but its jut a suggestion atm. we could argue what powers they get, but that comes later)

i know in the past that people would rather avoid the idea of server police, but tell me, after everything thats happening (increasing oorp behaviour, sanction reports that dont get done, etc [no offence admins], vets leaving left right and center, power playing [to an extent], etc ), dont tell me youve never even had even a slightest thought about such things?

now, discuss, in a nice and civil manner please. no flaming, and certainly no picking on each other. for those that incidentally end up avoiding this warning, read: MORE ADMINS, AND MAYBE SERVER POLICE. mmkay? go!
