People you have to watch constantly to make sure they are not abusing powers are immature and should not have been hired in the first place and that falls back on the Manager. If you can't trust them you don't need them, Staff shouldn't need a babysitter. I am sorry to say you sound more like a control freak than a Manager if you have to constantly stand over them and remind them they work for you. Try trust and Team work you will get better results instead of acting like your God over your Staff, as for logs they work just fine for finding abuse on RC combined with players who will jump at the chance to rat you out if you are. Believe me players of Npulse are well aware of the rules and will catch someone everytime. Again if your Staff goes ahead and does a project without your knowedge it says 2 things, they have no respect for you and YOU hired the wrong people to start with , again the keyword is teamwork , which means you work together not independently.

It's called being careful. I don't trust anyone online unless I know them very, VERY well. Staff argue sometimes, so rather than get in a "he said she said we said" kind of argument I would rather have the manager be right there and see what was going on. As for acting like God over staff, you aren't by keeping an eye on what they are doing. It's called managing a server and doing your job.

If you manage a server you make sure your employees are happy and your customers are happy, just like if you manage a store. If you come in to your store for 10 minutes a day that isn't managing it very well, now is it? You work for the players' best interest, and knowing their best interest usually requires you being online more than 10 minutes a day.

As for being a control freak, yeah, I could be one of those in that I don't tolerate bad behavior. If they do something they aren't supposed to they get a slap on the wrist and if they do it again they get fired, plain and simple. Keeping corrupt staff around is bad form, and God knows that staff don't go corrupt until after they get hired.
