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. =)

Let's roll. If only you knew.

If a lot of people are complaining about the staff, doesn't that say something?

They are not making the community more enjoyable. Police are fine. The gestapo isn't.

Disagreement doesn't automatically mean disrespect. But when the mods consistently ignore members, abuse their powers and refuse to be held responsible for their mistakes, how can people respect them?

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.

The problem is some people did nothing wrong and they're being punished. And your suggestion to work harder and earn a position on staff is laughable. A lot of people complaining were ALREADY on staff before quitting, then came back to find the site with a new staff that's doing an awful job. In fact, some members have tried applying for staff- and had their application deleted!

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.

The staff of yesteryear and the staff of today are two different fish.

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. =)

Again, the problem is the staff acting when no rules have been broken, and not punishing themselves when they break rules.
