I have a pretty good method of fixing the staff problem.
There needs to be a limit.
I usually go by this rule, or, if I'm REALLY in the mood to be cranky, I do a ratio of players:staff members. Usually meaning that there should be 1 staff per 15 players online.
When the server is at the beginning stages, and isn't so popular, I usually go by these rules, which I am suggesting to fix the problems.
1 owner
1 co-owner
2 admins
3 mods
Those are the staff amounts that I would like to be incorporated here at Sxs-Scape.
If there are to be people that whine and cry about being demoted, then they shouldn't be staff again. Real staff members WANT to help out the players, and don't care whether they're owner, or normal old player.
Thanks for reading,
