Hiring Check on Graal
Why on earth does Graal Classic and the rest of servers hire without some real background check? Is there ANY other game that does this or is it just graal? I feel like using these admins don't help at all and there's no exact requirement of maturity or any other factors.

You do have to be mature to be an admin, though apparently you don't have to be older. Most admins are sub 16 years of age When people say "age doesn't matter for admins" I sigh. How is an admin supposed to know what's inappropriate when they're 12? How will they know to deny an inappropriate upload eg a bong when they don't know what it is. |

New ones? Really serious, and don't want to joke around much. They don't understand when you're joking, kind of the reason I think they're younger. Taking their job too seriously makes us suffer, it's so much better to have fun admins. |

I don't care about an age requirement, but I'm sure many people who genuinely want to help the game are being prevented from doing so due to ridiculous circumstances noted in their account. Every time you get your chat reset, status reset, nickname reset, warped for game disruption, etc. - all of that gets noted in your account, forever. It doesn't matter who did it, why, if it was deserved, etc. If you get banned randomly, send in a support ticket, and you're immediately banned, your account's history will still show that you were banned and unbanned (rather than just removing the incident entirely). All that does is allow build-up of some ridiculously long "history" that makes you look like you've always been punished appropriately. I have probably 10 "game disruption" infractions against my account all from towering with MDR, when Soren was an admin and was fired for warping players away from towers for no reason at all. None of those will ever be removed, despite him being fired for doing it. It just builds up. From another thread:

I don't really see how many of you have so many experiences with them, they don't seem to call for much attention. If they act immature on their player account, does that matter to their status as an administator? If there a level of maturity required on a player account? Those are questions I would want to know the answers to.

I appealed and told them that a huge 7 foot german guy came into my house and forced me to speedhack but apparently my ban isn't going to be overturned. They don't understand what life is like in the real world.

Funny thing I lied about my age when joining the forums and when I sent an admin application

I was hired to the graphics team in 2014 even though I have been banned like 4 times, jailed 80+ times and been warped like 20 times a week cus of glitching. But I changed and I got a chance either way even though I could have easily abused tools. So I'm not too sure if this stuff about them looking at your history only is true. It might be but idk

when i heard people talking about newly hired admins. people said new gps were 12 or 13. i thought it was a joke, until i think i met some of them thru skype while i was in touch with ryan6, brenda. not they only sounded like 13, they were actually 13-15. they were nice and they weren't trying to be immature. but i still wouldn't give a job to some 13 year old, there are a lot of terms that they weren't familiar with imo. im not trying to be rude, just talk to some 13 year old kids irl or read what you wrote when you were 13. if you are a normal kid, it is hard to make a fully thoughtful decision regarding some player's issues. even when you are trying to act mature, it just won't work. this doesn't mean people older than 15+ are mature either. |

The amount I've applied for GP is the same amount I've been banned (5). Besides maturity, I really cannot comprehend what qualities or skills these younger players possess that they are accepted over your chances of getting this role.

With the amount of players on iClassic, it's not hard to understand they might be busy with reports and uploads so they'd be unable to reply immediately. That being said, I once messaged a GP regarding my account and she replied fairly quickly.
Secondly, there are some responsible 12-13 year olds around. Believe it or not, not all of them are irresponsible idiots. Lastly, they fit the criteria. GPs generally need to be online a lot to do their job. Older teenagers tend to study for exams (like myself ) and so aren't able to be online much.To everyone: Stop whining about 13 year olds being hired. Some are perfectly capable in what they do and sometimes are the best option to hired. |
