I am trying to bring this to the attention of everyone. Staff, owners, normal players, and whatnot. World of Minecraft needs more staff. Why? It's getting way out of hand. When players break the rules, we do our best to stop them, but we can only do so much. Telling them to stop doesn't usually stop them anymore, it just doesn't work. I came on World of Minecraft yesterday, and there were trolls left right and center. The only staff member that came on in that time, was Lunick. And that wasn't for a long period of time either. I understand staff have lives too, that's why I'm proposing we elect more staff rather than make current staff be more active .

 
This topic has been brought up before, and it went nowhere. But the truth is, it really is an important issue. There are eight year old kids that play on the World of Minecraft servers that are being exposed to sexual discussion, swearing, racism, and all of that immature, ridiculous stuff... This is most certainly not an issue to address lightly and action needs to be taken immediately. 
  
IRC doesn't always work, either. I am now unable to contact staff using IRC because of the end of contract error. I had to downgrade to an older version of java to be able to play with the World of Minecraft client, in affect, this version of java will not let me use IRC. Even if I click "run applet anyway", it just gives me an error saying "upgrade to a newer version of java" and a link. Even for people that IRC does work for, there aren't always staff on at the time of need.
 
As obvious as it sounds, what I am proposing is that we elect more staff, perhaps four different players from different time zones. At the moment, the only player I have in mind is Sonardo. He is a mod on the public SMP server, so I am lead to believe, and in my opinion, he would make a fantastic staff member on World of Minecraft in general. The only problem is that he is rarely on anymore.
 
I will be really disappointed if this is ignored by staff/whatnot. It is an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

I agree wholeheartedly. When I get on, I want to be able to build and talk with some friends, not try to convince an obscure troll to shut up! Which is happening more and more nowadays. I almost dread getting on because of the frequency of such happenings.

So you guys keep complaining

So you guys keep complaining about needing more staff and then you don't even give us a mention of who. I have honestly been looking for new staff and I am unable to find any people. You mentioned Sonardo but he is often not on Realms as much anymore because of his mod position on the SMP server.

There is only so much I can do buddy, I was actually on for a while yesterday, I just went to work on my Unova realm. It just seems that SMP is taking away a lot of our staff people.

I know it seems immature and

I know it seems immature and annoying of us to be "complaining" about the lack of staff but it's getting ridiculous and I don't care what ANYONE thinks, I know it is! It's really really REALLY annoying! Trolls here, trolls there, spammers, flooders, people swearing, people being racist, left right end center. They're EVERYWHERE. It's even worse considering they can come into our realms and troll us there, and if we kick them, they can come right back in and continue trolling us! 

Even if they made it so that World of Minecraft-Partrol could do half hour mutes that would make the problem allot less frequent! And I understand you have been looking for people worthy of a staff position, the truth is, I can honestly say there are plenty. Sarah for one, seems worthy, sonardo does too, but, again, that goes into the problem of SMP... I think just about everyone who has the World of Minecraft patrol position is worthy of staff or atleast worthy of having the power to hand out silences when deemed necessary.

What World of Minecraft Patrol? It doesn't

What World of Minecraft Patrol? It doesn't exist anymore and no, you're not being immature. You are just concerned for the server.

I don't see Sonardo as being a staff member sorry and Sarah isn't going to be on World of Minecraft for about 4+ Months.

Wow. People that break the rules all the time don't even use their common sense! -_- Gah. I remembered that yesterday a guy was swearing all kinds of words and keeps on trolling non-stop! These people must be punished! As well, I think that we should update the rules. And of course, get more staff.

Nice Persuasive Report

Sk1lz is right. I even had to use caps on swearers, trolls even griefers.It is getting out of hand. Its mostly Techs, Archs and constructors that are around. So some of the Techs, Archs, and constructors should be Staff for a while.

Please note BEACONS:

Breaking the rules to stop rule breaking will not work, the rule breaker will just deem you hypocritical and will therefore not take you seriously.

Mute

Instead of giving more people full staff powers, why not just pick a few of the very active Realms players and give them /mute or /tempmute powers. Then they won't be bugged all the time to deal with mod issues, but can silence all the obnoxious spammers. A Few people have said Decypha, and i agree that would be a good choice. Why not Sk1lz too? I don't really have many names, because the Realms server has never interested me much, but pretty much anyone who has been around a while and is trusted on the realms server. Of course, if anyone sees them abusing this power, it could be the rest of the communities responsibility to report those people on the forums, which if confirmed could result in a derank, or worse.

I like Jupiter_Ginger's idea.

Except I laughed when you said "Why not Sk1lz too?" it was pretty funny. I don't see that happening anytime in the next 90 years.
Anyways, as Lunick said, Decypha doesn't want to be staff he wants to be engineer. Other than that, your idea seems rather... flawless you could say.

That would have to be coded

That would have to be coded in as the way 'punishments' are handled on the server are not through the server. There is only /silence (5 minutes) and /wmkick.

I'm pretty sure that the owners do not want to do any more work on the server. It is practically done.

Don't doubt yourself sk1lz.
