Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Geoffacake]

Its 2am in the morning for me, discussing in my very warm bed with Vendetta on Skype, the fact that we've read through the majority of this thread makes me feel that the Admins are bombarded by almost an entire storm of not just painful criticism but som e that members use so richously to demoralise a group of people who are willingly allowing to give up their spare time, completely free without charge, to make sure that this community tries to stay as stable as possible.

I do understand your sentiment, but I would like you to also try and understand why the viewpoint you present is a 'free round' and thus a bit unfair. It goes without saying that we all appreciate the function of admins, and the fact that some players take it upon themselves to spend their time admin'ing.

That doesn't make every admin a good one, nor does it make every admin decision a right one. It shouldn't make admins exempt from critique either. I'll argue that admins have no real way of carrying out their roles and maintaining the community if there is no critique - i.e. critique is a positive, a fuel for change and improvement, and not a super dangerous negative thing, y'know?

I do hope you - and others - understand the relation between the admin function and the admin person, and keep that in mind when reading.

There's not a lot to gain and a whole lot to lose for those of us who have some clarity of vision and care enough about the community to voice our concerns (most of us have been banned or already stopped playing altogether, if you haven't noticed) - I'd like you to understand that too when writing +1 style remarks, as those types of remarks ultimately becomes part of the problem. It hinders progress and free and open discussion.

Its okay, i understand, i'll re-write what i said, in simpler terms for you. Just to do what you said about understanding what you said about voicing my concern about the admin situation.
