where is jusun? Options

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. =)

i think there are lot of people in the world that want things that they cant have or already know is impossible.

sorry if i feel like i've been repeating myself for the past hour, but i do, and it's a big waste of time. if a person cant take the time to figure out that a person obviously cant be back on staff if they were never on staff to begin with, it's their own fault if i think they're being dumb.

and this is my last post on that subject.

to get back on topic, jusun, i dont see how you can say you havent really been here often enough to have real insight on the matter, and then say that the mods should be respected for the job they're doing. they havent been doing a great job. some of them already know that.

if you are getting a lot of complaints, that is something you should address. i dont think that means you have to be here every day and deal with every problem that comes up, but this is one that's certainly worth your time to listen about. you're getting these complaints for a reason.

you say you respect the mods because theyve kept this site running since its inception, but none of them were even there at the start. you're categorizing the moderating staff under one entity, past and present. the past staff got the job done in a more fair and efficient manner. the current staff isnt. i think that's the point you're missing here.

and im addressing JUSUN here, not anyone else. i dont need to hear any of the moderators positions or opinons on this, because i already know where they stand.
