New Or More Helpful Admins?

Cottonfield15 · 06-18-2013

Ok...Is it just me or have you ever asked an admin for help and not gotten a response? Is it just me, or is it everyone? Many noobs sit around and complain about how the admins suck, its not that they're bad or don't know what their doing, its just that they're not helping out enough. I understand that they're busy but come on people, if I pm them I'd expect at least a response within an hour. Maybe it's just me but I think time for new or at least more responsive admins...

Make sure you're PMIng them the question itself rather then 'Can I ask a question?' or something along those lines.

If one admin does not respond, try PMing another?

PM the GPs that are online first rather then the developmental admins, you're more likely to get a response.

Also ensure that your question deserves a response.

Im curious what the questions you asked are.
50% of the questions players ask me is a dev/update question
25% is "how to become a GP" question
15% is "Can you host a event"
and 10% is a serious question.

Then there is always those dumb questions like "If i go around graal city dressed as a mexican asking players if they want to buy drugs will i get banned?" (Someone actually asked me that btw...)

But if you were to ask me, or another GP a serious question we are probably going to answer you.
Worse comes to worse you make a thread about the question. I find Graalians know just as much, or more as the average admin.
But what are the questions you have right now? I will be happy to answer them.

Hmm, Are you trying to judge admins?

Ivy · 06-18-2013

Yes.

I understand many people ask very dumb questions. Many questions can be good. I've noticed that many people are unhappy with admins and just thought I'd get a good idea of why and unresponsive admins came to be the most common reason for people being upset. I understand that many people ask stupid questions but some are very good an left without a response. Again i understand being an admin can be very busy and hectic, but more and more people seem to be unhappy with them, just thought I'd see why (not meant to offend in any way!)

I'm pretty sure every time I have asked a question, it's been answered. Except the time I asked Rufus which 1D member was his fave.

I try to answer all pm's, even those that are not really important, just need to be patient.
