We are ready to initiate stage 1 of Chronet v2: Staff and management reform.

Our staff team and our general staff organisation as been all over the place the last couple of years. There was little to no leadership and this led to many different problems. This lack of leadership and structure is the first thing we must address to get Chronet back on it's feet.
We need a team of staff that can lead the community without me having to be there every step of the way. The staff, and especially upper management, need permissions and authority to act when I'm not around.

This is where "Community Managers" come in. In the past, they were merely server admins with a bit more power here and there. Although having some extra permissions is great, it's not entirely the point of the role. The point of course being is that those in this role should be managing the community. This means looking after staff (promoting and demoting where necessary), moderating and organising the forums, figuring out what's next (Ie. Planning), and most importantly it's about being diligent and paying attention to what's happening within the community, and making choices as a team to further progress the community, in a positive direction. For starters, there will be a few 'Community Managers' but over time we'll get more into what each persons specific role and task is.

Whilst we're not going to be one of those communities out there that have '100s' of different ranks, roles and titles, we are going to be a bit more organised and therefore we'll have a few new ranks come in. We'll be having simple hierarchy - Trial Admin - Junior Admin - Full Admin - Senior Admin - Junior Community Manager - Community Manager - Senior Community Manager, Community Director.

As for staff, the slate is being wiped clean. All current staff members will be removed and we'll be recreating our staff team over time.
We'll be paying specific attention to each staff member (past and present), and make sure they integrate with the team well and are committed to being active on the server and forums. We'll also be making sure that there is no bias when it comes to admin player relationships.

Hopefully the above all makes sense! So without further ado, here's our new staff team:

Community Director
Simple - Founder, Community Director, Lead Developer

Community Managers
AngryBaldMan - Senior Community Manager, Developer
Kai - Senior Community Manager, Developer
Aluminum - Community Manager
Christ - Community Manager
Chance - Community Manager
Ultra - Junior Community Manager

Administrators
Medic - Senior Administrator
Silvershine - Full Admin
Apollo - Full Administrator
Canadian Bacon - Full Administrator
InfantHades - Full Administrator
Jack Traid - Full Administrator
Deaconator - Trial Administrator


Any past staff members that wish to rejoin the team can reapply. All previous applications will be closed.

As for stage 2, it'll be revealed soon.

The server is back online. We also have a new dedicated server A nice fresh start.
The server in it's current state won't be around for much longer, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Onwards and upwards!

Thanks,
Simple and Community Management
