Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[jammi]

I still don't see why it's necessary. If Jinx's very good suggestion of an area where clarifications can be codified was put into effect, contentious sanctions could then be used as anonymised case-studies to provide clarification. i.e. phrase what the person did wrong as, "am I allowed to do 'x' or not?" and you then have a concrete answer without any specific individual being dragged over the coals.

At the end of the day, to some people it's nice to think of the Administration as some kind of executive which needs a legislative/judiciary branch to keep it in check, but it's not really. It's all three things and they're only as accountable as they decide to be.

Honestly, overburdening them with requests for transparency in cases where it'll only upset people when the same function could easily be replicated in a better format elsewhere strikes me as a bit pointless. Similarly, I'd rather have an admin team that was effective and robust than one that was constantly auditing itself for the gratification of onlookers, slowing it down and probably only serving to increase criticism of the team (and burnout).
