    @Silver_Sonya Valgys and R4iscool1, thanks for your responses. When you're done discussing my civility and intelligence, please post something that isn't off-topic. I'm not going to reply unless you want to discuss the server or anything from OP post.

    That ship has sailed. You blew your chance at having any kind of thoughtful conversation pertinent to this topic with me when your first replies to my opinion are sarcastic and hostile. You've shown you can't handle different viewpoints. Just step aside and let more rationale and less emotional viewpoints continue this discussion before you get this thread locked. I'm done talking to you.

    How about just giving an orientation for staff, then if nublet staff helpers have questions they ask a higher up?
    If something is unclear or undicussed such as the use of bitch or dick being old examples then make a vote amongst the admins as a form of administrative hierarchy/seniority or have direct voting from all staff members.

    I can confirm there is an orientation of sorts, when i was promoted i was given a tour of staff stuff, and Dawn and Baron had me in a skype call explaining rules, kicking, spawn cleaning and etc. When i was promoted to mod Nysic explained how to ban and that sort of stuff and the other staff things that come with mod. He missed a few things but all i did was ask questions and they were answered almost immediately. Most, if not all staff have Crafty on skype and if they dont get an answer from Staff Chat they can pm him directly and he always replies quickly. If new staff arent sure about anything and dont reach out for an answer further than Staff Chat then it just means higher ups are busy or just havent checked the chat yet. They all have lives and most of them mute the notifications from chat because as r4 said, it gets scary. Even admins will reply to direct skype messages so any unsure staff can pm them as well and probably get a faster reply if it is an urgent matter.

    I can also confirm there already is an orientation. Considering I am one of the newest players to become helper, I feel like I have a good enough voice in this topic. When I was promoted, Dawn had me in voice chat and every single question I had was answered. She walked me through everything I had to do and even repeated steps when I wasn't sure if I heard correctly. I even said how I probably had more questions, but just couldn't think of any, and she made it clear that I can ask other staff at any time if I don't understand something. Staff made it very clear what my job was and was so helpful if I needed help. And I did in fact ask questions later on, mainly for my own benefit to make sure I understand, not because I wasn't told the first time. And the major person I asked for help from was Ceph cause we were usually on at the same time. Just because I asked him step by step questions doesn't mean staff didn't give a good orientation. I think that's where some confusion is coming from. Just because Ceph helped me learn more doesn't mean he was the primary teacher. He was more like the study hall helper that gave examples to the problems the teacher already taught.

    And even if he was a primary teacher, he had been helper long enough to understand most if not all rules, and those he didn't know he could easily direct you to someone who could answer. Once you are staff and have a grasp on things, it is partially your job to help train new staff. Learning isn't just restricted to admins, any rank can help you learn as long as they are providing accurate information.
