I briefly mentioned this in my post above, but I thought I'd post it again on its own because I said quite a lot. A €1 a month subscription fee, for all players. If this were set up like the BattleField thing, and all the players were informed before hand, itd be worth it. Maybe some way to let players join for say 12 hour of time before not being allowed to connect though so it's not super threatening to new players. This would mean actually getting income from the server, being able to buy a BETTER server/upgrade Iris, so that plugins like the one Drainal suggested can actually be used without the entire thing melting, and maybe even improve the community because the people who play will actually be (slightly) decent players if they're willing to pay to come and play on it. Theres nothing to lose, there's barely any income from it currently anyway, and could always be revoked if it didn't work out well. Also I think if the Gods faction actually had players in it would be awesome, hell maybe I'd even start playing again, because I know Clav only puts people he absolutely trusts in it (Thats what Whimplash said to me once), but what is the point, if its going to just sit there and be an Epeen booster.. Not to mention that they would be able to do administrative work in terms of reporting it to admins via IRC since they are players you can trust. Things are a bit too tight, if a player is trusted and uses the forums they should be considered, I saw a lot of good people turned down, and this game although not the favourite part of the forum among most of us DOES need the most moderating, and is getting the least. Possibly be SLIGHTLY less anal about who can moderate (or at least be in the Gods) for the mc server, just have a few requirements like they must be trusted (Green status would be ideal, but then there aren't many Greens that play mc) and have their green status+ban them if they abuse power, or if not green just give them a 1 month forum ban or something, damn that got confusing EDIT: Oh, and I still stick by what I've said a million times, ban+unban requests should only show up in the top 5 for server admins. If we're not meant to comment on them unless we're involved, we shouldn't have to see them in the feeds and end up with people moaning about all the ban requests! It just seems stupid That should apply to all games though, of course
