hey all,

ive been getting a lot of pms / ims lately about members complaining about staff members, and how decisions should be made by me, not the staff. as all of you know, im not so active here in the forums, as my role today is more on teh development side of things than participating in teh community (this makes pushing out new features much faster, which everyone benefit from).

i just want to say taht the staff are here for a reason; theyre here to help everyone have a more enjoyable time in the community. that sometimes mean policing members and psots that are not welcomed here, which may at times seem personal and/or harsh. but in the end, its fo rhte good of the community.

so. id like to ask everyonet to have more respect for the staff memebrs and their decisions. believe me, its not easy being on staff, when doing anything more or less gets scrutinized under the microscope. please, give them some space to breath. and if you trully wish for a better cb, instead of trying to undermine them every step of the way, actively help out so that one day you too will be on staff where you can bring your ideas to the table. doing something wrong, and then coming to me to complain about how the staff handled it will not get you anywhere. for one, if you did something wrong, you should be prepared to take the consequences. and im not active on a day to day basis to be able to give the time or insight on the matter. i have a lot of respect for the staff - theyve kept this site going since its inception - so unless its something seriously wrong, it is not my intention to overturn or reverse their decisions.

so. dont do anything wrong. help out, be nice, and dont break any rules. and one day you'll see yourself on the other side of the fence and understand the enormous pressue and stress teh staff are under at times. until then happy posting. =)

No. I wasn't trying to disprove that he could only count people with his fingers. I was disproved his assertion that a negligible percentage of the community doesn't like the staff. And what the hell are you talking about? The fact that I'm "being generous" with numbers only helps my case even more.

Try again.

lol my ass ain't gettin hired.

And it demonstrates that you missed the point. But you can give yourself another opportunity to embarrass yourself if you'd like. So give me your generous number of people who aren't complaining.

Yeah, you didn't read my post. Good job. I'm surprised how incredulous you are when I say you missed the point when you don't even attempt to comprehend what I'm saying.

WHO THE HELL GIVES A DAMN?

Can we PLEASE try to look at the big picture?

Oh, so it's only important when micron uses it as evidence for his argument, but when I refute that, it's suddenly meaningless.

Or do you mean to say the mods don't give a damn about what members have to say?

I was referring to you and Suzzette bickering about statistics. Honestly, who cares? It that more important than discussing legit suggestions themselves?

Even though not all of our registered members aren't active, we have about 300 + people on the site at a given time.

5/300 = .016%

We care about what you guys hink. It's the part where you think that a good amount of createblog hates us is what bothers us.

Read my posts over. I'm hoping you're smart enough to be able to see what is wrong with what you're saying. I'm not going to spell it out for you unless you demonstrate you're completely incapable of comprehending simple concepts.

i know i'm not really a part of this right now, but since you're so into saying that the last 3 digits of the number are people complaining, tell me about how my active members we have AND THEN compare it to the less than 15 complaining, rather than acting like the 300,000 people all post and know what's going on.

LOL are you counting guests?

^ Are they complaining? A lot are members who don't sign in until they post.

ok, just making a statement. no need to get defensive.

Wait I thought member no. 1 and member no. 29 were RL friends.

Was I wrong in this?
