if they are secret, although annoyances would be found easier, some players would get confused over: derpaderpaherpaherp kicked herpaherpaderpaderp for 5 minutes. just say who they are, thats it.
Letting people see who they were was the major issue which led to the system being abandoned. Frankly, even if their identities were kept secret, people would be able to connect disciplinary actions with the players who are online and eventually infer who they are.
mini mods should have access to staff fourms but they cant lock and pin posts and /say command to broadcast stuff.
We're all mini mods already. If you don't believe me, just log into any Town server and start some trouble in chat.
I have noticed lately the only mods recruited are in there 20s. Sadly not a huge number of people play minecraft at this age. Yes, they are more mature and have a broader view of a battlefield in a sense. I guess if this idea were to go through would the youngerish crowd get a chance to make a difference? Aka 16+?
Green_Mystery is 17. Bob is 19. If they did appoint mini-mods they should test them just like overall mods.
I really don't see a negative side to this. Everyone has been complaining about beggars (including me) and this is how we stop them - minimods. Just nice and simple, they have the power to kick and perform short temp-bans. Sure, it may be confusing at first, but everything is. I don't think that the system was implemented for long enough before to simply judge how it will work out again, especially seeing as EMC has grown so much. The residential teleportation system was implemented and that was confusing at first. Now look at it, almost everyone knows how it works! We have a larger population now, chat mods would help out loads and even possibly keep people from leaving, help more people join!
