So there has been this rather long outstanding issue that has been going on for quite sometime that needs to be addressed. The lack of staff for the late AU time from 7pm AEST onwards (Roughly 3am onwards CST). Alot of the time throughtout the years of there server during this timezone its been prefect law after prefect law which seems to be more commonly occuring as of this year and particulary now because of what time of year it is. The server when I get on at these times, either starts off with 4 staff members then they seem to all leave at the same time give or take, 1 staff member by themselves for long periods of time or no staff members for a fair amount of time but thats only a part of the overall lack of staff and staff applicants for this timezone.
Difficulty of becoming staff in this timezone (and also applies for late staff in getting admin). Other than there being just a general low count of staff applicants for this timezone, it is rather difficult for a normal player to become staff during these late times because the majority of staff are NA and EU in which if these players only every play in this late timezone, staff will never see them and thus would be able to appropriately give them a +1 or if there is a negative vote and they want to see improvement from this person, they never will so the vote stays the same and thats just how it is and has been for awhile. A quick someup for staff who want to be admins who dont know. Admins vote for other admins, so if you play in a timezone that no admin plays on, you will never become an admin. Thats just how it is.
Continuing to hire staff members in a timezone that is already got a good amount of staff. Again, this has been happening for sometime and goes hand in hand with staff not seeing these late time applicants. Positions are continuing to be filled by NA or EU staff that do not play in these late times but play during a time where if a back up call was made for staff, at least 10 differant staff members could come on whereas during now and during my time as staff for this area, if you put up a backup call, youd be lucky to get 2 staff members coming on after about 2 hours of that call being made. I bring this up because its still happening. This timezone is obviously lacking in staff members consistantly being on so there needs to be a priority in looking into getting applicants for these late times instead of hiring more staff for timezones as mentioned, that 10 other differant mods can cover.
When we were staff, Myself, Lyla and Sage were all in agreement that these were issues but even still continue to this day. The aim of this is to raise awareness to this issue and get more qualified staff members for this time and prevent current staff from getting burnt out of the position because they are the only ones/few who can get on.
