The issue I see with this is how would we staff ANOTHER prop hunt server? There is one admin, me, and 4 moderators where only 2 of them could be considered active. That is arguably not enough upper staff for a server such as the one we have now not the mention the overflow. Yes, both are full every single day at some point if not hours and it can be frustrating for new players to face off against someone who is 1/2 in the wall in the upper corner of the map that they can reach. We do have a decent amount of test mods and trusted running about and some could say promote some of them to higher ranks to even out the labor which has never turned out well for Dink's.

Additionally, that would basically require either a few devs or full time knowledgeable co owner. These would be necessary to keep things running smoothly, especially since we have issues keeping the main ph server running now and overflow. I am not saying that this is a bad idea, I just do not believe we have the manpower to adequately do this without several people running out of gas, putting in long hours, and having every server with staff that are available. Staff want to help, that is why they have the position but they also want to play the game as well, they cannot really do that if they have to hop between 2 or 3 servers on more than one occasion under an hour.

Decent idea just not the right time.

I apologize in advance if this sounds blunt (or if this thread gets completely derailed), but Dinklebergs Prophunt has been within AT LEAST the top three Prophunt servers running between 2016 to now.. and it feels like we have never had a true deck of cards for staff. We're always lacking ban capable staff, we're always missing upper management, and there's always some obstacle that prevents us from doing things properly that involve a lack of capable staff.

The moderator rank is the ONLY rank a user can apply for that can fully and properly punish for the most common infractions on the server in the form of bans. It's important to hold ban power to a high standard, but for someone like me to go on and work my way up through the staff chain starting right now with no activity, it would take massive amounts of effort, time and skill. To get accepted relatively fast and meet standards of activity, I would have to most likely spend 1-2 hours on the server nearly every day from now until July to get that rank. Now that I have some work experience in my life, I can actually say that getting a moderator position on this server is harder than going out and getting a job at a company. I don't mean this in a mean way, but if we want to solve this massive problem of a lack of people to moderate the server properly, this needs to change somehow.
