Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[TheProphet]

Pepe pretty much hit the nail on the head.

I'd like to stress that I'm most often the guy who says "Poor Admins, they really do a thankless job." and argue with people in that area, but I can't really say that anymore as it seems that most of the pain you guys get is self-inflicted. Firstly this entire sanction was sketchy from the start, and it was concluded that it was based on rather poor evidence - you can read Jammi's posts for further details. I'd like to add that the line "Hey thank the guy we permabanned" perplexed the living hell out of me, as it showed that someone who you deemed should not be in the community was actually changing things in the community. (No grudges, I don't even know the guy)

However if we pull back a bit, we can see that the entire situation rose from the very poorly thought-out ID change. In handling that, you also made rather big missteps. No rationale was given as to why the change was made which left the thread in a state of permanent speculation, not to mention that it made it seem like you were stepping towards removing RP consequences, and also completely disregarding however many years it has been of RP for those regions (as well as vanilla lore).

The recent decisions really make it seem like you're setting up a Rube Goldberg device that will eventually just slam the button that says "INCINERATE SELF" .
