Admins in later timezones
#1
If this is in the wrong forum, if an admin/mod would kindly move it, or someone suggest a more appropriate forum, please do. It's not an in-game suggestion, nor is it off-topic...

I live in Brunei. It is a tiny country on the island of Borneo, with Malaysia bordering it. The timezone is GMT+7, and GMT+8 with DST. But enough of the geography lesson.
Let's say I wanted to play at 10:00am my time. That's 3:00am GMT, 4:00am GMT+1, 5:00am GMT+2, etc.
I understand that there are some admins from the USA (where the time would be 7:00pm PST for my 10:00am), however, and I'm sure the Asians, Australians and Kiwis will agree; there simply aren't enough admins on at the times which we play most.
I know what you're thinking: Admins can't be on 24/7 to meet your demands. If someone is causing trouble, make a BR. Most of us play late, anyways.
But it's different. We all know minges come out at night. Well, your night is our lunch time. And Ban Requests can take some time, meanwhile we have to try and avoid a prop pushing, watermelon spamming A-hole.

My suggestion is this: Simply recruit some admins from Australia. I'm not trying to promote myself. I can think of plenty worthy Aussies.
But by doing this, you can increase the chance that there will be an admin on almost always.

I hope you take my suggestion into consideration, because besides the USA and Europe, Australia is your next biggest region of players. And us stragglers in Asia but that's not the point

EDIT: I'm not sure where I stated that we want admins because we want RPPs, or that an Admin should be hired because of their points. This thread seems to have been attacked for trying to rectify what is needed to be an admin. Read it again. I am suggesting for the current admin team to consider recruiting some Admins from later timezones. No where in my suggestion to Soul did I mention points. In fact no where in the OP did I mention points. Yes, I mentioned hours, however to say that is all I view to be needed to become an admin is wrong. In response to Soul, I said " (those who have been loyal to the server, 1k+ hours, played since 2008, Veteran, etc.)"
These were merely examples. Of course there are many factors to consider. I am fully aware having high hours does not make you exempt from rules, nor increase your chance to becoming an admin. 
Those who wish to rage about hours and role play points, please create a new thread. 
This one is to bring attention to the issue we have, not to start a completely unrelated topic, thank you.
