Staff!!! >.>

The staff are a mix of good and bad, there are the ones who yes are strict but then they know when not to stop something which isn't strictly to the rules such as a singing contest where as others will ban everyone involved for trolling and/or mic spam. This isn't made to attack the staff more of pose the question, why is it that majority of the community I found didn't respect any staff lower then Admin rank? Well, it's because they have had bad past experiences with the staff who are totally useless and have no desire to help, they just want the power and/or maybe the free reserved slot. I mean like I was in a mod-sit and I had been KOS'd twice prior so I couldn't be /restoreinv'd. The staff member asked what I had so I told him, he didn't however restore everything for me. I asked him for my attachments and 2 MRE's and that would only take around 2minutes but he refused to do so. Thats one example of the "not so good staff." An amazing example of the "good staff" is a staff member who was a trial and doesn't have a donor rank. I had been KOS'd twice and he asked me what I had. Of course he couldn't change his role to restore it but what he did do i heartwarming. He gave me enough to buy back my gear & compensation for the "inconveniences caused." I mean like, why can't all the staff have his passion and drive? Lots of staff in the past said I NEED to "respect them" well I only give respect to those who deserve it and NOT those who DEMAND it. It's one thing to gain fake respect on the basis of a title but it's another to truly earn someones respect.
I only respect about 20 people on RP and in comparison to how many people play on RP? Thats very few amount of people. I've respected lots of people and trusted them, but when they were granted a position of power and/or control they changed. They stopped being fun, my friend and the person everyone wanted to gain that position. They changed on the basis "I need to show I'm a good person and prove I'm mature." Well, if you need to prove that stuff? How did you get the position in the first place? You were already fine as you were, those who change after gaining a position of power are weak, afraid to displease, slip up and/or fail. I've seen many good trials demoted because they weren't "good enough" and "didn't do enough." They did what they could and were disliked because they did the RIGHT thing not what the majority wanted.
Staff like Loxten? He is great for in my eyes? He is respectful, open-minded, fair and very approachable. There are some staff that I just don't feel I can talk to about anything as their own ego surpasses their personality. Loxten's quote in his signature "you haven't seen the best if you haven't seen Loxten in action" I can say is probably true. He is one of the only staff capable of understanding what the victim see's and at the same time still be open to the one who has allegedly "done wrong." I've seen many times and have experience personally someone getting banned for something they really didn't mean to do. There was some guy who was trying to craft his shotgun shell's together and moved sideways (which automatically shuts the crafting menu) he was probably spam clicking the shells to make sure they are all crafted together and of course he shoots his shotgun and kills someone. The staff member won't listen to him and said "I was there" Problem was? If the staff member was there then he would have heard the crafting sound, heard the guy saying in voice chat "I'm so sorry." and then in the mod-sit constantly say "I'm so sorry, it was an accident." Of course they get a 1 day ban and I never saw them again.
Other situations are when the victim knows the person is genuinely sorry and didn't mean to do it and tells the staff member not to ban the person and they still get banned? If the VICTIM says not to ban him due to the fact it was clearly an accident. Why should they be banned still? It's not logical, it only puts the staff into a worse perspective with the community.
The staff? The good ones get it rough, due to the mistakes and to be blunt, stupidity of other staff. Some staff are assumed to be bad and get hate directed towards them and can affect how they act and behave on RP. I tend to tell people to calm down and not hate someone they don't know. It's like meeting one Italian guy and he does something you don't like and them all of a sudden? You hate all Italians? (Sorry for any Italians out there this was just an example.) It's not logical right? So why hate staff you haven't yet met or been in a sit with.
All I'm saying in this is... Staff? Loosen up a bit, get some thick skin and resilience and don't change who you are, even if you are guaranteed a promotion? Don't do it. You made friends, got your position and have been accepted for who YOU are. So changing that is basically being a different person.
PS:All RP Admins, it may seem as though I don't respect you guys... I do (sort of) but I don't show it due to the fact you don't need the confidence boost, the self-esteem raiser that lots of people do need. You have gotten Admin for god sake! You know you've done good but some trials? They don't recognise what good things they have achieved just because the friend of someone they banned is flaming them about it.
