Guards?

[Cjvalentine]

Questions
Do we need guards? If we need guards, what would there job be? How would they be chosen? What commands will they be allowed and disallowed to have? What would be the conditions to becoming a guard?

Idea
Just a few questions I've been thinking. I'm posting this because the Guard position need to be looked at, whether we need to remove it completely or to start accepting more. I just think that somthing needs to change.
This is just to see what our members think of the Guard position. And to give Heinz and Stx a better understanding of what to do with the guard position's.

My opinion
I think that the guard position should be allowed to players who Heinz and Stx think are able and willing to help new players, and protect existing members. Or remove the rank and allow the operators to conduct there business as they have been doing.

Thank you for your time,
Have a nice day.

Well the guard position originally came about because Op and masters weren't always online so it was a rank that can ban/kick members when higher ranks aren't there.

I don't agree that it should be removed but it should be looked at. Having more will cause a problem as right now we have a ban list on the board for us to refer to. No guards have ever posted in there but they have banned people, so when the time comes to if someone asks why their mates been banned then we cannot tell them as theres no records of it...

The conditions are that you have to be very very trusted by Heinz or I and you need to be noticed at helping people. Not sure we will get more at the moment.

The Guards I'm talking about are:

• 1. Protect members
  2. Help guests with minor problems
  3. Kick griefers/hackers

The only powers I think guards should need and have are:

• LB
  kick
  jail
  God mode (only in guest world)
  heal (only in guest world)
  TP (only in guest world)

You can make a command like /job or something, so they spawn in guest world with the special commands, full set of diamond tools, and full set of diamond armor.
But can only leave if they do /job. (not sure how hard it is to make a command, I was thinking something like a /jail type so they can only stay in guest with there guard gear)
This will make having unnecessary powers out side of guest world, less of a problem.

This (I hope) will minimize the amount of spam coming out of guest world.
This also helps guest like the server more so they wont leave because no one is there to help them.

As always, final choice is Heinz and STX, this is just a suggestion.

I personally like this CJ. It would be nice to have more people able to help new members and guests get into the world as Heinz and Stx aren't on ALL the time.
And you're right, they should have some extra powers when dealing with guests and griefers. The new command /job seems smart, if Heinz can do it. That way they can only use special commands when they are 'working'. And guests get really annoying at times. It'd be nice to have one or two people just patrolling the guest world and chat, to keep them in line.

The other issue is though, like Stx said, they'd need to actually do Work! They would have to keep up the paperwork like admins and write down on a ban list and things. That comes from people that Stx and Heinz really trust though. So, maybe allow that Promotion... then you two could really choose who your select few Guards are?
