-Enderpearls, getting stuck in blocks 1/2 of games fought, and you can't do anything about it. This is a huge problem on this server, as this happens to me around 50% of fight I use enderpearls. I use enderpearls 90% of fights, do the math. I was fighting croeus before, and get stuck in a block, and ask a mod for assistance. [tp me to croeus or out of the block] Moving on to my next issue.-Mod sit on the server, JUST TO FUCKING AFK [excuse the french, ladies.]
I wonder which one of them actually tped to me when I Was fighting a hacker. One would think maybe a trial? [GoogleHax did for ONE [there were several in a row.] of them, props to him btw.] Maybe a Moderator? Pssh, no, all they do is afk! The owner of the server actually had to tp to me, and ban the hacker, because the mods just log in and sit on their asses, so they aren't demoted for being 'inactive'. There should be some quota of bans/ban reports handled/month, because how it's currently being processed, you see something like this: 1 mod handles everything.
And there's so much more that needs to be fixed, but this is what I'm currently perplexed about, "Why are mods so fucking inactive"[Le French]

Then tell them to look at the forums, because they don't seem to be doing it there either, with the exception of few.

Now that I'm on my computer (as opposed to my phone), I'll type out a paragraph or two about why I said "you have no fucking clue"First off about the enderpearl glitch, it is a problem, but it doesn't happen NEARLY as much as you say. If I had to guess, I'd say it happens in maybe 2% of my fights. Enderpearl mechanics are a bit messed up, it's not something the server can fix very easily (if at all).
Also, as Archy already stated, mods aren't allowed to ban during ranked matches, and you have no clue what mod TPs to you. It doesn't display a message saying who TPs to you, so for all you know all of the "AFK" mods were watching. Which brings me to your AFK rant. AFK means Away From Keyboard. Some mods have real lives, and sometimes have to be away from their keyboards. Why is that a bad thing? And I also would bet most of the mods on were NOT AFK, they were just doing other things (contrary to what you might think, we get hacker reports from more than just you). Also, before accusing us of getting on and AFKing to avoid getting demoded for inactivity, you might want to think about the fact that you don't know how our staff works. We don't get demodded for inactivity. It's just not a thing. If we get on Badlion and ONLY do other things than moderate, then yes, we may get demodded, but doing other things in life is not something the admins worry about (example, Lonerx4 was inactive for 4-5 months. Came back, still has mod).
For your examples of who handles ban reports, if you'd taken those screenshots at a different time, they would have shown different people. Different people are active on the forums at different times during the day. Also, the mass report answering by Kiwi, for example, was part of an effort to sort and reply to all ban reports, new and old. I bet most of the reports in your screenshot were pretty old, and were in the process of being sorted into "accepted" and "denied".
I don't see how you can call the mods "inactive". Every time I get on, there are at least 3 or 4 others online (and usually NOT AFK).

Look at the timestamps before you give me a remark like that. 1 day is old..

I'm 100% sure no mod tped to me [that was capable], Would you like to know Why? He was not immediately banned after, if you would like to see how bad the evidence is of his hacks, and ask why he wasn't banned, I could present said evidence. The next match, I spectated the hacker, the only mod who was there, [trial] Was GoogleHax. If a mod hadn't banned said hacker, what they should've done was gathered more evidence, as in… You know… Spectating him again.
Some mods have real lives? All mods have real lives however; If they're on minecraft, on the badlion server, not in a ranked match, then they better be doing their job.

-I'll make a little summ. I've watched this server go from 0-25 people on, to 100-400 people online, and the moderator quality, really has deteriorated. Quantity, isn't always better over quality, and I believe, changes need to be made regarding moderator privileges, and inactivity
-This may seem discriminatory, but I believe all mods should have the rights to ban non-donors, and all donors should be taken up with on the forums, or with higher ranks/discussions.

To the remark about time stamps, the time show when the person last commented. So they could be months old, and when kiwi comments, the time stamp will show a recent time.Also, you again don't know if a mod is spectating people and gathering evidence like you said. Just because we don't immediately ban afterwards like you want doesn't mean we aren't gathering evidence.
And just because mods don't reply to you doesn't mean they are afk. It's hard to reply to the amount of messages we get.

I do understand how a mod works, they do not get payed to moderate, they volunteer their time, so yeah, they can take some breaks and PvP. But, a mod or admin afking for hours is wrong, they should log off so players don't ask the mod that is afk for help, when he is really not there to help.But, I would like to add something.
Some of the new Trials, are umm, I have never seen them before, Trials like TheHackerOfLife, some Yanks guy and quite a few others I have in fact never seen on the server before, and I believe they should go back to the system where mods recommend players [Maybe even have a player vote to help decide?] that way we don't end up with Trials that frankly, barely anyone has heard of. Players tend to like mods that are prominent and respected in the Badlion or pot pvp community in general.
Don't take that the wrong way, I could be wrong about some of those Trials and they could be respected by others or turn out to be great mods, Archy has his ways, I am just going off my opinion. :)
Also, I know MasterGBerry does not like to hear complaints about lag, but I'd better add this.
Honestly, MasterG, the host tends to have a hard time hosting over 350 players. I and many many have noticed it. I think you should attempt to find a way to fix this, or upgrade the host to be able to sustain more players, or add a server limit to 325 and have only Donators be able to get in when it is full.
Yes, I do understand most the RAM is put towards Minecraft natives, and the plugins aren't a problem at all, maybe I could be wrong about the DDOS attacks as well. But honestly, if people are DDOSING badlion everyday, I say its about time to track the attackers and hire an attorney and take them to court and file a lawsuit.
Also, MasterG, you said you fixed the pot lag, but I still notice a significant pot delay, pretty much the best way to describe it is when you throw 2 HPs at the ground, they hit and you see the animation, particles, and such, they do not restore any hearts.
Even with its very few problems, Badlion is still a great server and its few issues are usually always fixed:D

This is one of those weird bugs that I have not been able to track…once I finally get rid of NoCheatPlus and WorldGuard/WorldEdit I can finally eliminate those as possibilities and look only at my own messy coding.

The best kind of mods could be unknown ones, because it's easier for them to be unbiased.All mods also see mod applications, so they all had a say.
