Listen, before complain, id like to say i dont have anything against barry as a person and I think he is really nice

Now, the issue I have is his ability to communicate. His english is very bad and unfortunatly, that is an issue that impairs his ability to effectively moderate. Today I asked for help to see who placed blocks on my land, and he didnt understand what I said. He started talking about something else that I couldn't understand because is english is very broken. So I had to go on google translate and translate my request into turkish and he immideatly understood. I should not have to go on google translate to get help from a mod. Sorry if you feel that I should have to do that but I disagree. The mod should be able to speak english enough to be able to help the player. iBarry did not understand what I asked him the first time which is a big issue to me. If you think me saying this is rude like randorito thinks it is, too bad, its a fact and its not rude, its the truth. Again, im NOT trying to offend barry, but I feel like his english is a big issue in his ability to help players. Being able to understand them most of the time doesn't cut it imo. To be a mod, you should understand ALL the time. English not being his first language is not the problem. I will stress this because I know a bunch of you will comment that below if I don't. The problem is that he can't understand players sometimes, as I will show you in these screenshots.

That was after I asked for his help, he started talking about join date or something who knows

I translated it in turkish, then he was able to understand, he tped to me right away
https://gyazo.com/27224fa690baa445ef8d483b8073c365
then he finally told me who placed the blocks (fucking alpaca)

Again, I have to stress this because I know a lot of people think this is toxic: I have nothing against barry, im not trying to offend anyone, but in my opinion, this defiency impairs him from effectively moderating the server

"his English is very bad and UNFORTUNATLY, that is an issue..." loved that misspelling of unfortunately
barry can speak english really well, and i think its that you, wones, are unsatisfied by the littlest things ever. Barry is one of the greatest staff members that have ever been on the team in my opinion, and its just you being super picky.

Eh... Barry is over-all my second favorite staff member (behind RossWhitfield), so this might be a bit biased. Although he isn't the best at English, he's still one of the nicest and most helpful people I've met. Just like Ranthar you said, you might have to help him about a bit and explain a bit better, so yeah. He's also 12 years old, so even if English was their first language, they'd still have a bit trouble. Hell, I'm 15 and I still have trouble with there, their, and they're. Also, why are you making a complaint because his English isn't up to par? lol

I think this can be a problem, but not much. I'm sure 99% percent of the time he doesnt need any assistance

"His english is very bad and unfortunatly, that is an issue that impairs his ability to effectively moderate."
that is the answer to your question, and if you actually read the complaint you would have seen it

I read clearly, and seen two things.

You saying that Barry's English is bad, and also your English being terrible in itself; 'unfortunatly.' Although I'm not trying to be rude, I do agree with alpaca. Although it hinders his ability to help us, it's rarely seen, and personally I've never had a problem with his English.

I read clearly and SAW* two things.
your grammar is bad too but thats not the point
grammar doesn't hinder anyones ability to understand you, and I couldn't understand barry at all, pointing out my grammar flaws is irrelevant

its a fact and its not rude, its the truth
If I walked up to a 115 year-old who has physical deformities and said to them "you are ugly and will obviously die soon," that would be very true, and very rude.

Another thing, I don't see Barry very often, but when I do, we have no problems communicating with eachother.

Maybe this is a problem because Alex is a redneck?

You do realize he said "ran" "i mean" "first join date" ran as in Randorito. He wasn't even talking to you. He was talking to randorito. Then he changed over to you.

I agree. His English seems to hold him back a lot. Keep in mind everything he knows is completely self-taught by using Google Translate, which is pretty impressive.

I think he should work on his English for the future, it could take him a long way.

This complaint is absolutely ridiculous. Just because Barry doesn't tp to you within 3 seconds of you asking doesn't mean he doesn't understand you. You should know that staff are busy and might be doing other things. I never even noticed that English wasn't Barry's first language since he wrote it so well.

This is a multicultural international server and you should face the fact that there are people who speak languages other than English. We used to have a lot of Norwegian people on the server speaking Norwegian, so we also had Norwegian staff. We used to have a lot of Dutch people on the server speaking Dutch, so we also had Dutch staff. Bilingual people are an asset to the staff team because they can help out players from multiple nationalities.

Armzngunz, your constant attempts to trigger Wones an active player on YOUR server is pathetic. Staff are meant to be impartial or at a minimum not try and escalate situations. I am genuinely worried concerning your bias against my friends.

I miss Susie too, but it hasn't turned me into a bitch.
