Who do you think could qualify for Tanki staff?

[beaku 2,656]

He was talking to the topic owner.

 

Actually, @dilsharox, this topic is for the community to post the names of players whom they think would make good Tanki Staff. :)

 

And no, I didn't apply for jazzyboy to put my name in the topic, I just happen to be listed as a popular choice. :lol:

Yeah, I understood that after his second reply.

Sorry for late reply. But there is nothing to reply, deadtoyou has already answered.

look due to me having karma i can`t be a mod but i have been told by tanki so many times that if i want to help i should start with helping lower players and also helping mods when the servers are busy what i mean by this.. to either take screen shot and send to violators forum or to #rules and say what rules they are breaking most younger players respect the higher ranks when they come on and help ..mods enjoy it also by giving them a break from the over load some days...just dealing with the minor offenses it helps the mods get the bad ones like hackers and stuff

 

also giving advise to the lower players with helpful ideas on how or what to use for games or even what battle fields to use

 

some of them have no clue

 

for karma i wish i could get rid of it but its on my record for good and if i could be a mod i have no clue if my karma would hinder it now

Continue helping people. If not now, someday you will surely get a position.

Hold on, that just isn't true... For example, staff members must show a certain level of maturity in their posts as representatives of the game

 

 

Staff members are free to criticise the game, but it's not always the best idea to do so in places where players may think "Here's a representative of the game slagging off his/her own project...".

True, but that's not something that has to be specifically announced or written as a requirement. The guy will understand that by just using a bit of common sense. And actually those are the people we need - people that not only meet the written requirements, but can also understand some things themselves and have common sense. I.e. a guy who wants to join the staff will know that if he manages to join, he'll have to slightly change his habits concerning game criticism, in order to give a good image of the game, as that's a priority for all staff members. In fact this is the case with all companies around the world.

 

My main point was that if someone wants to apply for staff, he can simply submit his app and see the result, there's nothing wrong with that, and we won't eat anyone. Swede, if you decide to apply and meet everything required, you won't be denied because you've criticized the game in the past. But if you get accepted, you'll need to change the way you give criticism, so you don't give a bad image of the whole administration team. Being a staff member, you'll have a direct contact with the developers, and this way you'll be able to give your ideas and criticism faster and more effectively, directly to them. That's all.

The FBI is here to clear things up. B)

 

Thanks buddy! :D

[beaku 2,656]

That's a new insight.. :)

[iamthebadboy2 168]

I think the main issue at hand is the presumption that these players feel the freedom of expression would be limiting as a staff member.

It is a fact that it is very rare to see a staff members post any personal points of view in the forum.

Whether this is just a matter of personal choice or mandated "written or unspoken rule", I feel it is a major reason mature individuals do not get involved.

I am not disputing the option to apply, but the underlying reason many mature players do not get to that point in the first place.

Exactly. The mods would not accept a unmature person, and hence the mods know that they should not do such things. I'm pretty sure some mods make alt accounts to post their opinions. If they posted their opinions the players would think this would be a mod rebeling against the game or something. It's not, but to prevent that their alt poppes up. We just don't know their alts...I'm pretty sure this is right, but I'm not a mod am I? Why should I speak for them :D

FBI, man sometimes you just make me think of life when you talk...

Nice put

[canadarules 1,938]

Exactly. I was basically referring to karma there. Although there are many more factors which need to be observed, as you said.

 

They are able to see your IP address. And as far as I know, they can check if you have an alternate on the same IP.

so, i use my schools wifi which would give me another ip (my mobile one)....

[tenkedtanker 19]

@deadtoyou You should apply.

[greyat 2,972]

@SwiftSmoky would be good

Along side @jazz20, @canadarules, , @trombone_ftw and maybe @lukey0

Trombone as staff

lol.

[deadtoyou 2,502]

Until your School bans Tanki. :lol:

[robbie56 2,403]

The computers at my school are so old it cant load the forum properly...

[StickyPie 213]

[Klankill804 753]

I feel like I need to help players more because no one here seems to know the Smoky/Wasp player that entered the forum first as someone who used to help newbies. Then left Tanki twice and came back because he wanted to make a change in Tanki.

lol.

Just an Idea. He is pretty active on forum

[jazz20 1,181]

just because someone is forum active doesn't necessarily mean their staff qualified. Not saying that Trombone wouldn't qualify per say, but just in general, being forum active is one thing to look at, but not something to use to make an overall assumption/generalization.

YESSS I COMPLETELY AGREE I AM TYPING IN CAPS IM NOT SURE IF THATS BREAKING THE RULES BUT WHATEVER WE WILL FIND OUT

[greyat 2,972]

^haha.

[swede1 1,726]

Hold on, that just isn't true... For example, staff members must show a certain level of maturity in their posts as representatives of the game, and that's hardly a requirement in the rules (although it'd be nice if it were xD). Or it's possible the above was meant in the sense that the posts of players who become staff would have been fine and 'non-controversial' anyway, in which case it's a little misleading in terms of what swede was asking about.

 

To directly address swede's point, the matter is mandated as an unwritten rule. Staff members have an avatar on the forum and directly represent the game - often, players PMing staff members assume they are talking to a 'developer'. Therefore, the staff should act like representatives of the game. Of course, this doesn't mean lavishing praise onto everything and anything Tanki does - but it does mean holding back on floods of criticism you might be tempted to post as part of debate, if they can be taken the wrong way.

 

Staff members are free to criticise the game, but it's not always the best idea to do so in places where players may think "Here's a representative of the game slagging off his/her own project...". So there's your honest answer; just felt I wanted to step in and clear that up. And it's not a bad thing in itself. As a staff member, I still contributed to controversial topics with my own, less-than-appreciative views at times; I just had to do so with more responsibility, and more awareness of the possibility that players might misconstrue the situation.

 

That could be called a 'loss of freedom' in some ways, but with rights come responsibility, and as long as you appreciate that and think before you post you would be absolutely fine. It shouldn't put you off applying to join the staff. 

 

Hope that helped!

Thank you for you your opinion, well written, genuine, and clearly represents the qualities every staff member should seek to observe. 

 

I am glad to see responses from staff in regards to my post. As seen by these posts, the discussion of a concern can bring a clearer understanding to light to both staff and players.

 

If I may respond to some of the comments I may have presented in the past. No malice was intended. I did so, not in an effort to be offensive or ill willed, but to raise awareness of the preconception many players are compelled to assume, which leads to an antagonistic attitude and negative outlook. I feel it is in part due to an infrequency of communication in the forum. 

 

The forum is designed for discussion, when everyone engages in discussion, inevitably the forum become happier and healthier. 

 

Thanks, your insights have been helpful
