# Promotions and Evaluations

> Performance evaluation system for CosmixMC Network Staff and criteria for promotions.

This section defines the **Staff performance evaluation system** for CosmixMC Network, as well as the **criteria used for promotions**.

The objective of this system is to assess each Staff member’s involvement, attitude, and performance in an **objective, continuous, and fair** manner.

***

## Evaluation System Principles

* Evaluations are based on **measurable and observable data**.
* There is no right to promotion based on seniority or knowledge.
* Promotions **cannot be requested** under any circumstances.
* Performance is evaluated on a **weekly and monthly** basis.
* Final decisions are made by higher ranks and Administration.

***

## Types of Evaluation

### Weekly Attitude

The **Weekly Attitude** is a continuous evaluation of Staff performance throughout each week.

Its purpose is to:

* Measure real and precise activity.
* Identify involvement and consistency.
* Detect potential weekly recognitions and promotions.

Results are reflected in a **weekly evaluation table** published on Sundays (exceptions may occur depending on the availability of the Head of Staff).

***

### Monthly Attitude

The **Monthly Attitude** compiles and consolidates Staff performance over the course of a month.

This evaluation:

* Allows assessment of individual progress throughout the month.
* Is based on the four previous weekly evaluations within the monthly period.
* Determines the **top three positions**.
* Serves as the basis for the **Staff of the Month** recognition.

Data is presented in a **comparative and ordered monthly table**.

***

## Evaluation Criteria

Evaluation tables consider, among others, the following factors:

<Columns cols={2}>

    Moderation hours in Minecraft, tickets handled, and tasks completed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Support and Assistance" icon="headset">
    Number of tickets handled and quality of the support provided.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Communication" icon="comments">
    Messages sent in the main server and the internal Staff server.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Attitude and Conduct" icon="handshake">
    Respect, politeness, involvement, collaboration, and overall behavior.
  </Card>
</Columns>

> Other relevant factors may be considered when they provide real value to Staff operations.

## Internal Recognition

### Staff of the Week

* Awarded based on **Weekly Attitude**.
* Granted to the **first position** of the week.
* Recognizes outstanding performance during a specific week.
* Does not imply automatic promotion or additional permissions.

***

### Staff of the Month

* Awarded based on **Monthly Attitude**.
* Granted to the **first position** of the month.
* Recognizes consistent and high-quality performance.
* Does not grant additional authority or permanent privileges.
* Rewarded with in-game items or benefits within the Minecraft server, or with gift cards from the official server store.

***

## Rank Promotions

Promotions are evaluated based on:

* Consistent results in weekly or monthly evaluations.
* Sustained attitude over time (being active for one or two weeks is not sufficient if consistency is lacking).
* Strict compliance with regulations and active involvement in enforcing them, including promoting awareness among other Staff members.
* Staff and server needs.
* Decisions made by higher ranks and Administration, typically the Head of Staff.

A strong evaluation result **does not guarantee** an automatic promotion.

***

## Prohibitions and Warnings

* Requesting promotions or "promotes" is strictly prohibited.
* Comparing oneself to other Staff members does not influence decisions.
* Attempting to pressure or influence evaluations will be severely sanctioned as manipulation.
* Favoritism is strictly prohibited.

***

## Transparency and Review

* Evaluation tables are created based on standardized criteria, not individual bias.
* Evaluations may be reviewed, modified, or corrected by higher ranks.
* In case of doubt, Staff members may request a private review of their performance through a Staff ticket.
