    [MC] In-Game Rank Changes!

    Greetings Slap Gamers!

    For close to a year now, we have had a rank on the Minecraft Server called Guide.

    The Guide rank was initially added so that players who wanted to be helpful to new members, but could not commit to being a full time member of staff, aka a Moderator.
    Since adding this rank, we have had some issues regarding the status of a Guide.
    Guides never have been, and will not be a member of "Staff". They are simply there to help people with their first steps on our server, for example, help them find their first plot, tell them basic commands, show them around, etc.
    However, the Guides we had did want to help more than that, and were given other permissions such as the ability the answer basic modreqs, or to jail players who were breaking rules. This was fine at first, but just added to the confusion of people thinking Guides were staff.
    So at our most recent Slap Gaming Staff Meeting, we discussed what the future of the Guide rank will be, and the following changes have now been made:
    • Guides no longer have a gold rank in-game, they will have the rank "Guide" but it will be represented by their original rank colour (Green for Member, blue for VIP etc.)
    • Guides no longer have access to any additional commands
    • The only thing we will ask Guides to do, is assist new players with finding their feet on our server, getting them started, and assisting them where possible.
    • Guide Applications are no longer open to all players - Potential Guides will be chosen by current staff, then approached and asked if they would like to take on that role.




    There has also been a rank on the Minecraft Server called: SLAP.
    The SLAP rank was added to identify members of the wider Slap Gaming Community on the Minecraft Server. For example, if you were a member of our Call Of Duty, Team Fortress, Battlefield, etc. clan we would grant you this rank in-game.
    However, over time these other communities have slowly decreased in numbers due to our main focus being around our Minecraft Community. Therefore, because of this, we have decided to remove the SLAP rank from the Minecraft Server.
    We will still actively play on these games, but just as a wider community. There will also be clans/teams setup on these games, (for example we currently have an active Battlefield 4 Clan on PCi) but you will receive no perks for being a member of these clans/teams on the Minecraft Server.



    If you have any questions relating to the changes above, please make a comment below and I will respond to your questions accordingly.
