However, at one point theres a time where you need to change it up a bit and try different ideas and get a different view on the server, it's necessities and what the people want.
And what is this new view? What do people want? You can't say this and expect anything to change. Vagueness is not the answer. If you're going to state something like this, at least provide some sort of referral.
I have talked with alot of people that are displeased with how the current state of the Community Managers is and alot of people share the same thoughts as me, aswell as that we feel the Community Managers have gotten a very Adminstrative Role, even though it was prefaced that they would be doing ''basic moderation of chat related stuff'' and people would like to see a change, which is why i believe we should have a new election for new Community Managers.
This can simply be resolved by changing their permissions.
On that same topic, changing it is unnecessary. Tyla has moderator experience, and so does Efan. Although they've taken on a role of which its main purpose isn't moderation, I believe I heard Fredy permitted the combination of Moderator and Community Manager permissions for the occasion that they end up taking on reports.
You don't actually see them moderating much over other moderators, but them being able to handle reports when necessary helps alleviate some of the work the rest of us have to do.
I think we should get new cms, that does more than the bare minimum, that interacts with the community and ESPECIALLY the helpers. When I was helper it was very little interaction unless something was wrong or report count. Get Cms that actually follows their own inactivity requirements.
Efan has been very clear that he has been unavailable for things that have largely been outside his control.
I regularly see him online or on the server whenever I am online. And he has been almost always reachable by Steam, Discord or Slack.
Additionally, and I will reiterate; what needs to change? As previously stated, this is incredibly vague and I feel that this is simply being said because of stagnation.
The lack of action ≠ CMs not doing anything. If anything, they maintain community resolutions, community bans, enforce safeguarding and are entirely focused on the community's feedback.
If you have something to say, and for the love of god be specific, you should provide said feedback to the Community Managers. If it's an idea, post it in the Ideas & Suggestions. Community Suggestions are mainly handled by the CMs, but if you just say "nothing is happening, we want change" without even trying yourself. The last Community Suggestion that was handled was on the 17th of January, this year.
If anything, Community Suggestions work.
I believe your view of "bare minimum" differs from mine. Sure, main interactions between me and the CMs back when I was Helper did involve activity, reports and general announcements, but there were also Community Spotlights, Helper run Events, help.perpheads.com guide writing and general discussion around community matters. I found myself frequently contacting the CM team in regards to all sorts of things. If you don't involve yourself, you can't expect much interaction.
Not only is "New CMs" a flawed way of thinking, it brings another set of challenges, such as finding the right candidates who have the committment, skills and patience required to do the job. It's not quite that easy to simply find a new candidate out of the blue. And what's stopping them from doing the so-called "bare minimum"?
theres not exactly as much to solve as community manager anymore and theyve steered the community in a great direction
Tyla and Efan kicked ass when they first joined, and Sorle said it well. PerpHeads is generally in a much better place than it was in 2018-ish. Just because they've run the list of improvements dry, it doesn't mean they've stopped doing their job. A good chunk of what they do is behind the scenes.
Also forgot to mention safeguarding refferals, feels like it isn't being propperly dealt with.
Given that SGRs are anonymous, there is literally no way for you to receive feedback unless you tag your name in the referral. However I can confirm that they're being dealt with from past experience.
I'm sure if you reach out to a Community Manager, and are specific when referring to a past SGR you've filed, they'd provide some sort of feedback if given that they're at liberty to disclose such information. Though, that's unlikely.
I’ve heard from quite a lot of people that they are not happy with the curreny CM situation. What do the cms do about it? Find some dumb excuse to brush it under the carpet.
Again, specificity. This is a blanket statement and will get you nowhere.
And for the safeguarding refferals: I will not take it back, you should know exactly what I am talking about
Unless you tagged yourself, they don't.
