Toribash, like many online games, relies on community members to assist with various moderation and administrative tasks. These volunteers typically play the game themselves and have a deep understanding of the community. Often, developers or studio owners will opt for such members because they trust that these individuals, being from the community, will have the community's best interests at heart.
However, this doesn't mean that issues or disagreements won't arise. In any community, there will always be some differences in opinion on how things should be run. It's crucial to remember that just because someone is a volunteer or a community member doesn't inherently make them less qualified. Many communities thrive with the support of dedicated volunteers.
If you have concerns about the actions or behavior of any staff member:
1. **Address them directly and respectfully.** It's always a good idea to start with a conversation, asking questions, and seeking understanding.
2. **Contact higher-ups.** If you feel that a staff member is acting inappropriately, reach out to higher-level administrators or even the developers.
3. **Document your concerns.** If you're going to raise an issue, having a clear record of what has occurred can be helpful for both sides to understand the situation.
4. **Be open to resolution.** It's possible that the issue can be addressed and resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
In response to your security concerns: Most online communities and game platforms have strict guidelines about the use of personal information. Staff members abusing their power for personal gain or to harm others would be a significant breach of trust and would typically result in immediate action. If you genuinely believe that there's a security threat, you should report it to the platform's developers or the appropriate authorities.
Remember, it's essential to approach these situations rationally and without resorting to name-calling or aggressive behavior. Constructive feedback is always more effective than outright hostility.
Really mature person and straightforward... That explains everything imo.
