Then they shouldn't have volunteered for the job. It's a mmorpg for god sakes, there's going to be drama/gossip whether you like it or not, and there's no way to prevent it either.

except by taking it away..  

Both good arguments. Just a post a list of current admins on the forum. That way 'noobs' won't bother admins with annoying pms and clear up all those minor issues.  

just put it back  

Ridicule? I get called a n***** and or f** everytime I log on. If anyone's suffering, I think it's me.

Bring the Staff List back.

the speedhacking thing well, either nobody is online or its out of the GPs power. I'm not suggesting the GPs don't even bother, but im pretty sure those who do speedhack/cheat/whatever know how to ban evade hence why they don't look like theyve been banned in the first place

Out of the GPs power? Wot? The only time it's out of power is when they consistently come back after being banned.  

I don't see why players would need to directly contact a staff member in the first place.

That's what he talked about in the next sentence...

Don't assume that speedhackers know how to ban evade. Speed hacking is literally the easiest thing to do, and I'm positive most staff members know that.  

There should be a "Staff List" button on the Menu. In this, it could either show all the staff like beforehand, or just the GPs (which is most useful). Then it'd be accessible everywhere rather than just the kiosk.

You could even go another step further and add an "add staff member" and "pm staff member" button when you press on their icon. Then we wouldn't have to search the Player Database for a staff member which was difficult enough. (Or when you press on their icon it just opens their profile so you can add them and pm them as you please).

Not much development is needed to add this, as we already have a friends list gui which could be filled with the current staff when you press on the Staff List button. And we already have the profile GUI and all that junk

Rather than adding back the staff list (which is needed) go ahead and improve it.

Alrite stop trolling u  

I remember a while back I was in my house and I noticied that something was wrong with the level , my house was a lava themed house at the time and their was a big beige tile in the lava that should be removed, the bug had been around for about a month without being noticed.
I wanted to report the bug so I went to the kiosk and pm'd imprint and he got it fixed.

Now it will be impossible for I would not know who is staff in what position.

You could just feedback it and the online staff that check feedback would notify someone that could fix it.

However, I like the idea of there being a button in the menu that allows you to message a random staff member for certain graal-related questions. The staff member's name could remain anonymous. There could be a message beforehand stating if this tool is misused then it could lead to having this privilege removed for the player, sort of like people can get banned from uploading or using feedback.

If you're willing to make something and put it on the server, your work is (obviously) open to criticism/praise. You should be mentally equipped to deal with a bunch of 14 year olds calling your hat "****" if you're an Admin. Sounds to me like they're just annoyed of answering questions over and over again. It's not like they consistently check the report/feedback logs anyways, since most of the problems (speed hackers/glitches/cheaters) go unnoticed.

Well the person who made the GST hat that I got personally PMd me and we spoke and he told me he would be open to suggestions and said it was his first hat so it's cool that the admin contacted me. It would be cool if the other GST guilds that got a hat knew who the admin was. It was cool to see an admin actually care and wanted to know the ways he could improve. I think I've overlooked the Graphics staff and just realized that some do try really hard but they just are new but instead of complaining we could atleast find out who makes the hats and offer them suggestions like the admin who made the hat I got.

Well Fanta what I do is whenever admins send out a personal message I just buddy up the admin I think I have like 6 GPs and 3 Graphics on my buddies list (including you Admiral) it helps if you buddy up their player accounts too as they don't get much spam on their player accounts. Korin is an active sparrer who's usually on his player account so you can just msg him directly.

Instead of having a list to show the full list of admins just implement the "showadmins" system to show the staff who are currently online it takes away from the public humiliation factor after people get fired.

No they should not be anonymous
Volenteers don't get payed but usualy do what they do to help others, being anonymous ruins it.

Players will always worship staff no matter what you do.
