What are the current Objectives and Goals for BuildCraftia?

Current Objectives:
The items listed represent current objectives that the BuildCraftia administrators and moderators have developed in order to have a clear, open, and informative list that both staff and players can view.

• Establish a system of Staff Application that favours no-one and supports everyone. Remove the bias when selecting candidates, but ensure that they prove their ability to sustain the roles required of a staff member.
• Consolidate a firm, strong leadership that has a set of ideals in mind for the server, and work with the staff and the community in order to build popularity.
• Work on the API and make it fit for release as soon as possible, but keeping good quality in mind.
  • Add more gadgets to Google Documents file.
  • Confirm that everything needed to open API publicly is in order.
  • Make sure Leo is ready for alpha-release.
  • Release alpha server.
  • Receive feedback.
  • Continue work on end-product of the API.
  • Move to beta.
  • Receive feedback.
  • Continue work on end-product of the API.
  • Publish final-version.
  • Continue updates.
• Devolve further powers to moderators so that they may serve the community better and increase efficiency.

Long-term Goals:
The items listed represent current long-term goals that BuildCraftia will always strive for. This does not mean that BuildCraftia will never achieve these objectives, however it means that we will always keep these morals in-mind when working.

• Re-ignite the passion that made people want to be staff: to have fun and to help others.
• Build up the staff body with an experienced leadership team that has the server's best interests at heart, and an active moderating and administrative team that handles the server fairly and effectively day-to-day.
• Ensure that rules apply to everyone, not just the few.
  
• Keep attitudes unbiased. Remain open to new ideas.
  
• Improve the relationship between the player and the staff member by being open, engaging in activities (such as minigames) and keeping the server clean and enjoyable so that everyone can have a memorable experience.
  
• Work on releasing new features to maintain server interest, and use donation money responsibly for the good of the server and its growth.
  
• Keep minigames interesting; encourage users to build maps for these minigames, connect them with the server and give them a reason to come back.
  
• Keep the community informed upon what the server is doing and what the server plans to do. Actively advise discussion over topics that users are curious about.
  
• Treat everyone with respect, and treat everyone's opinion with equal worth.

Credits:
I would like to thank @PhoenixStudios for a majority of the current/long-term objectives and goals for BuildCraftia. I would also like to thank the community for all of their support and efforts in order to make sure that we have a fun, friendly, and safe environment that everyone can enjoy. In addition, I would like to thank @Quicksteve for his continued support and efforts in making sure that BuildCraftia runs smoothly, is updated, and has new features/games. Also, I want to make sure that @MattyC and @AZZA are recognized due to to their efforts throughout the years that have kept the server alive and make sure that everything was in order. Lastly, for all the staff that have been with BuildCraftia throughout the years and that have helped me run BuildCraftia. I wouldn't be able to do this all by myself and I am glad to have people around me to support the server and make sure that it maintains our standards. By the way, I'm not sure if I would have been able to make this server as popular as it is without the guidance from @TemporarilyAlone - therefore, I want to personally thank him and everyone else that has been here with me from the beginning (or just a really long time). Again, thank you to everyone and I'm looking forward to the future of BuildCraftia!

Please remember, if you have any suggestions for objectives or goals you would like to see added. Please suggest them in the comments below as we are open to new ideas and suggestions.

 

Nice job. I like the goals we have set

 

Looks like us the players now get to see the true goals that the staff are trying to get done. Nice!

 

Awesome stuff

 

Quick had something in idea for better Staff Apps. It was basically a system where the people who wanted to become staff could make a thread telling about themselves and how they would fit into staff. A small 'campain' of sorts. Then, after a specific timestamp, people can not make these threads anymore and everyone gets to vote on the people who made a thread.

Oh and, dont worry about minigame maps. When the API is released , there will be tons of new maps.

 

FINALLY!!!! I'm really pleased to see this overall and I think this will help alot, however, I would say one thing:
The long term goals are very good goals in all, but those long term goals are not something that can be forced upon people. But they are also goals that can't be pushed off to the side until this api project is done. Those long term goals are necessary for community sattisfaction, and honestly, for the server to function well. But as I said, you can't force passion into someone, you can't force a person to like another person, you can't force unbais. But these are very good goals to have.
Overall good job.

 

This looks and sounds great!

 

PROGRESS !

 

This server has finally picked itself up again.

 

Well maybe we should update this the API is out i mean...

 

Well this is an old thread lmao

 

old thread, never updated, serves no purpose.

 

Easily argued that it is active. Because they are active.

 

the irony's that he's not

 

This is the greatest thing I've heard all day. Thank you Leo for making this day amazing
