Operator Promotion Guidelines.

Archive Minecraft Classic Server
#1

These rules are to be taken in consideration with other issues that may arise as well as judgement of builds from the Op that is promoting, use them as a basis.

[size=18pt]Initiate - One build is enough
Almost any sort of building will do for this, this rank is to determine if they are a threat in terms of greifing. This could be pixel art, box houses, sculptures ect.
Examples of initate buildings:

[size=18pt]Builder - Two or more builds needed.
Some sort of design needs to be implemented for this rank, box houses are ok aslong as they show signs of improvement from the initiate rank. Basic requirements are needed for a house such as windows, enough headroom (2-3 blocks high), roof, floor, fillings.

[size=18pt]Adv-builder - Four - #Num builds needed. (Depending on quality.)
Well layed out and good design/construction need to be taken into consideration. Either a group of buildings needs to be made of high quality or a large structure of great quality.
—Two ops NEED to be present at the ranking to adv, this helps stop undue ranks.—

[size=18pt]Pro-builder - As many builds as it takes.
Grand designs are a MUST. Buildings must have a certain ‘WOW’ factor involved.
—Three ops NEED to be present at the ranking to pro, this helps stop undue ranks.—

[size=20pt]RULES TO FOLLOW.

[ul][li]DO NOT rank up unduly, this means do not give into pressure from the rankee. If they start to hassle you then warn with a temp mute, followed by a kick if it continues. [/li]
[li]Players can be ranked for a joint effort with other players, but the build must be incrementally better than is required for a single rank.[/li]
[li]Players should build in their allocated maps. Guests and initiates in guestcity, builders in buildercity ect.[/li]
[li]When making a map for a adv+, use the following setup; /newlvl (name) 256 256 256 (type). This ensures they will have sufficient room to build in for the next rank.[/li]
[li]Whilst adv-builders have one map, pro builders can have three maps at once, regardless of how full they are.[/li]
[li]In VERY special cases, maps can be given to builders. Builders must put forward their reason on the forums to be discussed[/li]
[li]If a Adv-builder/Pro/builder has filled their map(s), they may request a new one. Whether they require it or not is up to the responsible op. [/li][/ul]

[size=14pt]Maps and Benifits:
Builders can have their selected building zoned for them, this is useful if the building is in guestcity.
Adv-builders can have one map in their name or another name that can be backtracked to them E.g Fatso12321 or fatso’s_map, maps must be made following the rules.
Pro-builders can have up to THREE maps at once, but may have more following the rules.
Pro-builders also have access to a custom title of their choosing, the title color can be changed but their name color can NOT.

IF IN DOUBT, ASK A FELLOW OP TO HELP OUT!

If im missing anything, them please add it in.

Fantastic guide! I love how you included images to really help out defining the quality of the work.

The only thing left is to define what bonuses each rank has such as how many maps they get etc. I put my answer to that in another post, but it might be good to include it in the guide.

#3

YAY its back :smiley:

#4

Finally! A basis for ranking up players. Great guide!

However, I think the players should post a rank request here in the forums, rather than asking OPs one-by-one in-game. This is because :

This will give players an incentive to register in the forums and be part of the community.
This will help us see each PCB Staff’s opinions and suggestions towards the work/s.
This will help us create a final verdict whether the player deserves the next rank or not.
This will be less time-consuming for both players an staffs since they will only post in one thread rather asking ingame.

#5

They’ll only need one thread, we’ll judge their creations from there, we just post our opinions about their work and make a verdict. We’d see a lot of posts but at least we’ll actually know who deserves the rank. I see it as more of an organize manner of ranking rather than just waiting for 3 ops to be online at the exact time to judge the work of players.

#6

I agree with Kedji for any promotion above builder. The ranks that require multiple OPs should be done in the forums. There can be an exception when there really is enough staff actually in the game. Staff can discuss and promote if they are there and follow this guide.

#7

Great index but what about the conditions for Op and Senior-op?

P.s. I didn’t know my creation’s on the list!

#8

Our conditions are in the staff part of the forums, and staff isn’t a rank that is easily obtainable like those ranks

#9

Recently, I have been noticing a lot of players that are getting adv and even pro far before they should, if ever, get it.

For ADV - OP’s have been promoting while alone based on what the user says. We will not accept the word of the person going for the promotion. The staff needs to discuss if the person should be promoted. No more, “I have 2 votes already” crap.

Also, can we raise the number of OPs to 3 for adv?

For PRO - ONLY SOPs+ can vote or promote.

We should demote those that clearly do not meet the criteria for PRO. I think SOPs+ should do this. Hard has already stated that he will be doing this as he goes.

#10

I too have noticed this going on but do not know who is incorrectly promoting.
A simple option is to search the logs once you come across a unduly promoted player to see who promoted them, then inform them of this topic.

#11

The most recent case was:
I cut out the actual review. It was a build I thought was barely builder worthy.

(05:09:01) hmmmmm I’ve never actually promoted someone to adv
(05:09:16) i need 2nd vote
(05:12:49) you where saying about votes
(05:13:06) i need 1 more
(05:13:16) is that including mine
(05:13:21) no
(05:13:47) i have 1 i need 1 more
(05:13:59) that means that you gon’ be advbuilder
(05:14:06) yay
(05:14:10) randombilly used /promote tacoluvr

I cannot verify he got any prior votes from anyone. I spoke directly with random RIGHT after this happened because I happened to see this chat while it happened.

#12

not my fualt… ive only ranked people from guest to initate. never adv+ all those people who asked for pro failed when i went to them. They kept nagging me about it…

#13

I think … we must ask the players who vote for him… sometimes they will scam u i have 2 votes or 1 more votes. i hope u all can read my sentences…
