So, lately ive noticed that literally, nobody votes. From donators, to member+, and even noobs. There is no incentive i guess. Yea there is money and fly discs. But people like donators or member+ don't really need to vote. And the noobs they just don't see the point in ranking up when they can still play minecraft either way. So i know you've said it before, that there need to be a new way of advertising, while still incorporating the players. I think there needs to be different rewards for voters or a change in the ranks; the benefits of ranks i should say. Or a system; people like komaquest or kott, don't vote because they have a stable rank, maybe they need so many votes a month so remain that rank. Someone could develop a plugin or skript to auto check players votes for a month and give a warning or run a command to demote players.
I just think its hurting the server rather than hurting the players, and it shouldn't be that way. :-
I cant really build anything.
I assume that the reason why this is happening is because players don't even mind ranking up after M+, when they achieve that rank they automatically stop voting since ofc they think it's useless to vote since there is no other ranks and you can't have any additional perks or cmds. In my opinion, I think that if we add more ranks to the ranks board I think more players would be interested to vote and that they don't stop there.
Second reason is that probably they want to be helper but they know they won't get a chance at it since they think other players are better then them. So some of them just give up with the playtime and voting...
Third, adding new ranks would be awesome like (adding new perks and cmd for them to use) and like pepsi said a auto check plugin that checks players votes for the month and give a warning to those that don't vote. Then the plugin would either give them a warning or demoted them.
