Who to contact when you have issues with one of the servers
by TowelieDOH

Alright, so... the story is: SFT has over 10 servers and everyone seems to feel the need to contact Towelie. He has gone to a point where he receives so much requests for help that he is overwhelmed with and unable to reply to/help everyone.
So here's a short guide.

Who to contact based on what server the problem is:
Survival: TowelieDOH + Dpa1991 + FearThe1337 + saywhat2365
Pixelmon: Dpa1991 + Stariieyed + saywhat2365
B-Team: iLaxrv10 + FearThe1337 + saywhat2365
Lost Islands: TowelieDOH + saywhat2365 + Dpa1991 + iLaxrv10 + blalp
Pocket Edition: saywhat2365 + TowelieDOH
Creative: TowelieDOH + saywhat2365
ARK: Dpa1991 + Stariieyed
Rust: Jyncs + Dpa1991

The persons above are RESPONSIBLE for the servers. However, that doesn't mean you should run and contact them at the slightest problem. In fact, doing that would probably ensure that you receive a warning/ban or that your complaint is ignored.
The proper procedure to report an issue is to go through the staff first (Managers+ mainly) and only if they are unable to help you, then contact us.

Please understand that Towelie is a human being and he simply cannot help hundreds of players at once.

Goals for a sustainable SFT
by TowelieDOH
These are the goals, in Towelie's opinion, for a sustainable SFT (aka ensuring we don't die in a month, 6, 12...)

Internet Presence:
- We need to maintain an internet presence on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr) as well as gaming communities (Steam, etc).
So far, the people in charge of maintaining these areas (Managers) aren't doing a good job, but I am in the process of revamping that and I think eventually the Right Hand will get the job to manage all that

- We need to maintain a constant ad presence. This can get costly, with a budget not smaller than $250 / mo being needed just for that

- A key area is Reddit. @Lansdiinio seems to be doign an awesome job there, what I could recommend is that he checks the post and adds new servers / removes old servers every time prior to posting
- We need to get votes, and a lot of them. That's how we can get the most players. I know players want beacons and diamonds for voting but for the server's stability, I think we need to reach that middle ground where most people are motivated to vote but without damaging the server's stability/economy. I believe we have reached that, although few tweaks would be welcome

Revenue:
- We need to pull at least $800 / mo in revenue (that is the realistic minimum, $250 ad budget included)
- We need to constantly add new items to the premium shop for all the servers (I'm struggling to do that on Survival, but managing with the help of our great dev team

Player experience
- We need (and have done good progress to that effect) to make new players feel like they are welcome and helped. We need to get staff to no longer treat players breaking the rules like criminals and instead be chill and maintain a serious but realistic tone.
- We need to constantly come up with new experiences for players to try out so they don't get bored. (whether these are new plugins, servers, etc). Survival and Pixelmon will always have the priority here because they are the bread winners. But that shouldn't stop us from inovating and trying new things

Developers
- For both the new experiences (plugins, etc) and the revenue (building plugins which will make players want to donate), we need a  developer team consisting of at least 2 developers being willing to donate 2h / week of their time to development for sft, with a bit more during updates.


So far, we have been blessed with a good Dev team (darknuju, AmusingThrones, Nafi are all active and developing new stuff, Fear is active during emergency situations and extremely helpful and Colesy is currently dealing with some IRL complications).
Also, in the HoS department, we have Virginian. Some may dislike his roughness and direct way of approaching things, but I think what we need the best right now is discipline when needed and a sense of humor as well, and Virg, as a former military man, has shown both of those.


My main goal right now is improving our Internet Presence and after that, tweaking the vote rewards.

About Forum Warnings
by TowelieDOH
The updated Forum warnings are being pointed out in the following post:



Please note that anything in the "Illegal" category will also be reported to the proper authorities.
NOTE: Cyberstalking means releasing private information of a person without their approval. So don't share people's private information (pictures, phone numbers, etc) without their approval or you will be warned and the authorities will be contacted on more than one offense.
NOTE: Topic Necromancy stands for bumping old topics for no good reason.


The staff members are being asked to stick to these warnings more, aka give more warnings when it's warranted.
For warning points, a general guideline is: 10-15 points for Misconduct,  15-30 for Insult and  30-60 for Illegal (NOTE: At 60 the member will basically be unable to post).
Values vary according to the severity of the offence.
