[MontyPython]

It's not so much an issue of whether they're mean or nice, it's more their motives.

If they're unbiased, and motivated to help the server, they'll make the right decisions about the staff team and the server in general. That means not hiring talentless friends just because they're friends and making decisions based on what you think/know is in the best interest of the server rather than basing it off of the public's approval.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard from various staff team members: "I can't do that, then players will whine and *****." or "I did it, but then everyone cried so I switched it back."

Seriously? You're going to **** over the server's gameplay balance and other elements just so players won't have to go out and buy a box of kleenexes?
