I Think it would be like a SOP. Like if you’ve been a trusted for over 1 year or so you will be ranked as Trusted + or ST. If you receive this rank you get more commands and if the player is very active they may be able to recieve World edit For Survival or creative which ever the player is more active on. I heard of people trying to pass this before but I want to address this topic again. ;D
The thing about world edit - yes, we trust you, but world edit, in the wrong hands, can be awful…
Even in someones hands who IS trained with it, (cue stories) it can lead to MASSIVE amounts of well, planks across a world, sponge around spawn, a layer of dirt all across the map, used for grief(Yes, staff/trusted can become enraged and grief, or even hacked), personal gain, or even simple accidents…
We try to limit who all has access to world edit at a time, as it also has memory issues(it causes ram to increase over time), and it can crash the server if used too often, too large of an area.
I am also pretty sure the W/E isn’t easily rolled back. Chances are they wouldn’t get it in survival as that basicly defeats the idea of survival. I think W/E should be given to all staff in creative though because to get staff you have to be very trusted.
Recently I have been talking with others about W/E in bigcity. I have been told W/E is rewarded to players with good building skills that are trusted well by staff including Admins, as only admins can give W/E to other players in BigCity.
Maybe we could have some applications for W/E in BigCity, including pictures of recent builds and then if the application is passed then that trusted + member gets W/E in BigCity. I know all staff get W/E in BigCity already but i build lots in BigCity and W/E is really helpful.
Not really sure this would work. At the moment, an admin has to give you worldedit, because they trust you. Admins aren’t on particularly often, so if an admin trusts you then you have to be noticeable and trustworthy. I can only think of a small few people who were given worldedit before they got staff (and most have them have left or become staff). Becoming staff has much more stringent requirements than trusted, so they are typically 100% trustworthy (there have been exceptions…).
To be honest, I don’t think we need another rank. Our ranking system works pretty well. If we trust you… We trust you. I am sure that there is a player who has been on forever that some don’t trust as much as a new trusted player. The world edit thing would just get messy. Also, I don’t even have world edit. It is a tool for the higher ranking players to use and benefit the server. We don’t need a bunch of people using world edit for personal gain. Imagine the lag on the server when a whole bunch of people are using world edit together. Im not for this.
Basically, if you continuously build good stuff in BigCity, and somehow demonstrate to us that you know how to use worldedit, we might give it to you. In BigCity.
There’s a reason more people don’t have W/E everywhere. We can either have an 80 slot server where a select few can use worldedit, or we have an 8 slot server where everyone Trusted and above can. We’ve discussed this before, and the 80 slot server is much better as a whole.
I too think our ranking system is just fine. About world edit, I do think we should open it up more to trustworthy players, I do understand the problems with people having world edit. However it seems right now very few have it and I think it would be nice to open it up to a more trusted players.
(When I say trusted players I am not talking about the rank “trusted” I just mean trustworthy players in general)
