Ight. First post, going to keep it short.
Jr mods / Helpers, yes, or no?
like trial mods, with less perms but they can report and act faster than a normal player, serving as a sort of alarm for real mods.
in my experience moderating (ARK, Minecraft, Ectara) having an extra team of helpers is usually a good idea (WITH PROPER PRECAUTIONS, Like screening or playtime checks)
I’m too tired to go into this, if its a dumb idea just get a mod to delete this post or whatever
k byeee
Regular players are already capable of reporting players. Having a Jr Mod team wouldn’t provide anything new or valuable unless they just up and became a Mod who actually has the ability to zap people.
Jr Mods on Minecraft is different than it would be on Terraria. iirc the way Hypixel’s Helper team worked was they would send players into a “limbo land” whereby they would await evaluation by a Mod or an Admin.
Even then, Hypixel discontinued their Helper program and assimilated them with Moderators to create Gamemasters, which function the exact same as Moderators except they assist with the admins while their Watchdog report system handles player reports due to the sheer size of their player base.
DG does not have this issue as the playerbase is small enough whereby a simple team of moderators and direct player reports is capable to handle the server and potentially malicious players.
welp, thanks for the input. i will go back into the basement and try to cook up something actually useful this time.
God speed brother!
