    hmmmmm it depends on the day...
    Some days are a 1, everyone is being awesome, occasional chat warning, spend the day helping people.
    Other days are a 10 - being the only mod on and players you love start acting up, and you have to lay down the law, cause it's the job.
    At the end of the day I love it. The team is awesome, and I know they have my back.

    I couldn't give you a scale, the demands and difficulty vary depending from day to day. Some of the work is easy and routine, then you have the new things that can happen. But I can definitely say I enjoy it. I've been on the team for almost 2 years now. I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't enjoy it.

    Potato.

    It really depends on the day; sometimes it's slow and you get chances to make money (yay) and other times global's steaming and it's on you to handle it. But all in all, it's fun as staff.

    I would say that it is not "ok", I understand your frustration with lost mobs here. I've lost plenty and it's terribly frustrating. But you've got to understand some of the difficulties present in enforcing any rule against killing them. There is no log block on mobs, you can't /own mobs so it's extremely difficult to say who does or does not have the right to kill them, you can't outlaw killing them because it's a main mechanic of minecraft... Trespassing too is impossible to enforce unless we are standing there at the moment and that is frustrating too I know. But I can offer some solutions. For 10,000 ecd you can purchase and interact deny flag and it will prevent anyone without perms to your town from interacting with the mobs in your town. If you're spending money on purchasing mobs then that is a must have. You can also store the mobs in ways in which someone must commit grief to reach them and the grief committed in getting to them will be both traceable and in violation of the enforceable rules.

    I have more questions to ask now.

    To Moderators: Imagine you were in a chaotic/confusing situation, you are stuck and you have gone through all the steps to try and handle something. You know that this is not working so what will you try to do?
    To SMods: Do you find the moderation tasks you do easier then they were as a Moderator?
    To GAs/SAs: What would you like to see happen in/to the staff team in the future?
    Former staff questions: Does it feel odd that you aren't a staff member anymore and you are in your normal colours or are you used to being in normal colours?
    Is it much more relaxing being off the team?
    What funny/interesting part of your staff days do you still remember and are you alright to share it?

    Enjoy my second batch of questions.

    I'd just remain calm and I'd try a different approach. Sometimes following every protocol exactly doesn't work, so it never hurts to try something else. If I'm ever really jammed up I'd just ask higher staff.

    If the chest has been accessed within 6 months of the clearing being done, it shouldn't be cleared (to my knowledge)

    That should work but I would simply have dcc log in at some point during the 14 days prior to the wipe to be sure.
