I'd like to say my stance isn't against 'tiefling lesbian' in particular but, in staff not using voice chat. There may already be an official consensus on this so I apologize if I'm bringing up a "solved" problem. It's not my intention to hijack your thread, but I thought this would be logical place to voice this concern.

I think staff, especially Mod+ with the ability to ban, should be more vocal in the community (literally). Sometimes teachable moments require more nuance to discuss, and I find that when dealing with staff members who don't actively use voice chat, it's harder to give and receive more complete feedback. It can leave the player frustrated when unable to completely "plead" their case in a back and forth manner. I find that frustrated players who feel they weren't given a "fair trial" often act out more. If the punished player understands the reasoning behind why they were punished, they're less likely to make the same mistakes. This may have something to do with the points voidzzz raised about often being unable to handle the server by yourself. It takes a lot more time to type and if you don't adequately curb the players behavior in the right direction, it's possible they're behavior will escalate.

good morning

to preface: mics arent required for our staff for any role as far as im concerned, even tho its ideal for usage
i agree to an extent- i PERSONALLY think there should be at least a hint of mic usage once you get to these higher roles, it definitely helps resolve a lot of problems and helps maintain control of a hectic server when they go on their little sprees of being dumb, or in instances where you have to actually explain to someone braindead 500x why they got a slay. however, it's not necessarily fair to hold it against you when we have mods that don't use their mic (even tho they staff like shit, i.e city and a few others)
