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.

Why do you insist on bringing up time frames of online time here? As I stated your online time depends on your schedule and what it allows for. What may work for you may not work for others, as long as things get done whether it is by you or trusted Staff; the outcome is the same the server benefits. Some people you can tell right off the bat they are not suited for Staff by the attitude the show when you talk to them. As for rules I also stated to have set rules for Staff beside the Graal rules and stick to them, which means you break them you have to follow the consequences of your actions. This should ALWAYS apply to all with no favorites, it is the only way to do it right and be fair to all.
