Limiting Mentor powers

[bobatnight]

Funny how mentors like SailorDave have been caught and confronted multiple times but still retain their position.

I fail to see the lack of context, a clique of staff throw a piss fit whenever they don't get their way.

I can't help you can't police your staff if you're not willing to hold them accountable.

Hmm just for sake of date and context? What was Dave up to 12/31/2018

I�m going to say now unless this https://gitlab.com/cmdevs/ColonialMa...note_149247481 has already been implemented then from being an admin just a few weeks ago it does not leave a log in game. Unless you�re talking about the JMP command which is entirely different. Or if you�re talking about server logs it does there, but that�s not an active way of trying to catch people abusing aghost.

I know there is a log that shows up in the LOGs itself.
No idea if admins can see aghosting however. I think reducing even more powers that mentors have is just asking for them to not even apply as it would be almost impossible to do a job unless you ghosted for a round.

Ruining any mentor's fun and making it a completely boring task to do when you have to quit your round just to help someone.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I will note that the few mentor ahelps I've had to handle back when I was staff on another server didn't require the use of aghost. It really wasn't all that hard to help people without watching them. If you needed to physically see what someone was talking about in order to help them, consider using msay to ask staff if they can put you back into your body when you do ghost.

Most of the time I'd agree but it's useful during the times where you're not given enough information which can be figured out a lot faster if you see the situation and cut out the tedious questions.

Compare
Warrior: "How come I can't use my abilities?"
Mentor: "Are you on four legs? Are you hovering over the marine with the mouse and then middleclicking?"
Warrior: "I'm on four legs."
Mentor: "You can't use your abilities while on four legs."

to

Warrior: "why ability no work"
*jump*
Mentor: "you need to be on two legs"

If you have information pertaining to what you believe is a breach of staff P&P, or rules, create a staff report and report the incident and provide constructive criticism.

[bobatnight]

Nah just police your mentors lol don't they have a manager?

Howd that turn out Jerk

Went through a month of logs and looked up ~1500 instances of aghosting in December of 2018, including the 155 total incidents of all staff using aghost on the reported day in question.

That's how it went.

Always been policy to not disclose if/how staff have been disciplined outside of removals, and then only that a removal has occurred if that is the case. Just like we don't generally talk about people's notes or bans except with them and in the case of appeals.

If the subject of an investigation, or staff who were punished, feel the need to talk about it; it's on them whether they want to do so or not.
