' Wrote:Del, that's just about being idealistic really. But back here on Earth things aren't always done out of good intentions, with much politics this is about to bring even more, to open old wounds and grudges of the long gone past. Recommendations are what they are, and some just plain ignore them and flame because that's what they want.
What I am saying is that in the end it'll most probably bring more politics and power juggling instead of a real deal of an appropriate, realistic and constructive criticism. Just speaking my mind, my personal opinion out of personal experience here. Honestly, I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this one, but I'm skeptic. Try if you are certain about it, whereas I'm just going to stick to the occasional feedback threads instead, lately they've been efficient enough to keep going with them, so no point for me to change what works already.
Idealism? An opinion may be valid but strong opinions always provoke equally strong opposing opinions, if this idea is to go ahead, keep it out, simple as that. Most of this community is old enough and sensible enough to know when theya re flaming or posting constructive criticism. All I'm asking is that flaming be kept to a minimum.
Keepers are the only faction that uses feedback threads, all the rest have a "no comebacks" policy, we cannot critique their attitudes without provoking a flame war, normally becasue it's straight after something has happened that could provoke a flame war. This would be an opportunity for neutral ground. If people want to take it personally, that's up to them. But they shouldn't.
I will reiterate my point that if this goes ahead it should be mandatory for all factions created prior to the Admins having the sole rights to approve or reject an application. There should be no "opt out".
