The staff team consists of volunteers who assist players and the server by performing moderation duties, providing support and more. Staff members may also choose to take on additional responsibilities known as subroles (more on that later). This thread covers everything you need to know about the staff team's duties and permissions. That being said, keep this in mind:
- All staff receive ranks network-wide: on all gamemodes, Discord and the forums.
- All staff ranks inherit duties and permissions from the lower ranks (e.g. a Moderator has all Helper duties and permissions).
- Staff members cannot fix bugs or implement features. This is up to the developers, who are separate from the staff team.
- Staff members are not allowed to discuss which permissions or internal responsibilities they have, so please do not ask them about it.
- To be promoted to higher ranks, staff must go through all of the previous ranks (for instance, a Moderator must first be a Helper).
- If you would like to apply for staff, you can do so in the Staff Applications section.
- Should you want to provide (positive or negative) feedback for a staff member, check out the Staff Feedback section.
- Please note that false punishments should be appealed in the Punishment Appeals section instead.
- You can recognise staff members by their respective rank in-game/on Discord and the Staff Member tag on the forums.
