    So i'm wondering if a staff on here is like being the president of any country, like at first you're happy that your staff member, but then you starting acting more mature, than you start growing grey hair from stress based on the server, than by the time you retire or quit you look like you have been ran over by a truck.

    This is not a joke or troll post. I actually wonder about this sometimes....

    Well, if you're asking if any current staff member is a president of a country, I would have to strongly say no.
    All staff members are usually in an age range of 14-20 years old, and that is simply too young to run a country by my beliefs.

    Could a staff member be a president. Well, it is definitely possible, but if you think becoming a staff is hard, becoming a president is one-hundred times harder. They would have to take time off this server, to do campaigns/debates/elections. Being staff of a minecraft community/server is much smaller then being a president of a country.

    It is highly unlikely, but surprisingly possible.

    It honestly depends on what rank of staff you are.

    In theory, you could compare the staff team to a government with the different levels of promotion and whatnot.

    I'd say the only one comparable to president would be either owner or co-owner.

    If you even read the thread, you would know this isn't what he meant.

    I think they are comparing being a staff member to being a president not saying they are one :p

    Well, I did read the thread. I wish no offense on @Babyportal69 but it is kinda hard for me to understand the thread itself. All I said was my honest opinion, and there's nothing really wrong with that.

    Yeah, I'm just realizing this, but thank you for the heads up! :D

    Alright, now I do know the true meaning of this thread, I will state my opinions on it once again.
    By the sayings of multiple people above me, this thread is asking if staff could be like presidents.
    Well, technically they could be, but they would have to be the higher up staff members.
    Probably Harry and Jerry would be co-presidents, with William being the Vice President. And all the other staff members would be high up in the same category.

    Again, I am sorry for any misunderstanding on my end.

    I mean I guess it all depends on what rank they are or so, I think of it like this.
    Owners = President
    Co-Owner= Vice president
    Admins = Congress
    Mod + = Supreme Court
    Mod = Governor (aka state government, I believe)
    Helper = County government
    I know I'm most likely WAYYYYY OFFFFFFFF on these positions and such, but ehhhh I tried. :p
    aka I'm not that good in government class

    Sorry Im going to nitpick this.
    The US federal government is three branches. Legislative (congress), executive(president) and judicial(supreme court).
    The government is set up in such away that no branch is more powerful then the other, and they all keep each other in check.

    Owner(s): President
    Co-Owner: Vice-President
    Admin: Basically the Federal Bank, except definitely won't steal yo money.
    Mod+: Your bosses' boss.
    Mod: GradeBossUnderBoss
    Helper: Your Mailman.

    If staff roles were taken literally.

    Actual Roles compared to our government more than likely not

    Owner(s): President
    Co-Owners: Vice-President
    Admins: Administer of Defence. (Definitely enforces rules, duh).
    Mod+: Your 'Herr Doktor' (Basically prescribes everyone medicine)
    Mod: Sheriff
    Helper: Your police man.
    (Some not actual roles, but still accurate).
    basically the same as last paragraph, the font at the beginning was to make it dramatic :3

    I sort of think of the staff team like police officers. Am I the only one that thinks that? :\

    The thing is though, you don't partially need to know the world around you and you also don't need to know about/enjoy politics to be a staff member, not putting the job down or anything but It isn't exactly a leadership role, the major thing staff do is enforce the law. I guess you could be a politician in the future but being a Helper or Mod doesn't direct you into that department.

    Could staff be President? No.
    Is being staff on a Minecraft server like being President? No.

    Also, being staff on here shouldn't cause stress. When I say that, I mean stress that is harmful to your health.
