This is a tough issue because there's not really many if any options that aren't going to hurt in some way. However no matter what, Cube can't keep hiring staff who don't meet Discord's ToS requirements. There are a few possibilities but they all have their own drawbacks
1 - Allow people who meet cube's requirements without caring about Discord's ToS:
- Easier for cube as they dont have to change anything
- User's accounts could get disabled at any time
- Official Cube server could get disabled at any time
2 - Make the overall age requirement 16:
- Doesn't break ToS
- Less good quality applicants
3 - Make underage stuff just not be staff on discord only:
- Doesn't break ToS
- Staff who get removed may seem like "outcasts"
- Could risk move further away from Discord
- Dissuades other applicants from applying
4 - Match Cube's age requirements with Discord's:
- Doesn't break ToS
- No staff have to be separate from the rest
- Slightly less good quality applicants
Based on the current situation, I feel like option 4 is the best that we currently have as the only real negatives is the fact that there are slightly less good quality applicants, however I feel like if someone has a Discord account and doesn't care about Discord's ToS isn't a good quality applicant as they either dont care or dont know about the rules. There's also not really any time to just leave people there or accept new people on the Discord who break ToS as we're way way too far into Discord's new rules. Other options would likely be far more viable if the admin team had actually shown any care in ensuring that they followed the ToS a the beginning of the release of the new rules, but they either didnt care or couldnt be bothered. However there's nothing we can do about that now, so that's why I feel like option 4 is the best bet.
