Before anyone gets to this staff thing again...
I simply point to my own experiences. When I was idle, or even active there all time, how often would you believe did I receive PMs regarding anything?
In fact, not more than a couple each week, there was even periods where NONE came in.
Thus, I would say, no staff. And even if it came to staff, I personally can say, I could count the people I'd probably think of with one hand...not only for the newbies, but also for the people being staff themselves.
Staff, to do what?
I'm afraid I have to disagree, the SG was implemented to alter the attitude of the players a bit, essentially making them more aware of helping themselves, and not relying on an imperfect protection. Heck, if anything/anyone major comes to disturb of it, I (hopefully) would hear of it, or others, who would tell me.
SG was based around mechanic-based punishment, and I dislike the idea of implementing a new staff other than those I'd think of, because they would need special powers again, if you asked me.
Just let there be a community, if it really is threatened by single or several people, they will be dealt with. If I left by then, there's still the other players here, apparently thinking of it, no?
