Official Notice - Development Team Strike

[Tarator]

Quite a poor approach at disagreeing with a situation you believe was handled poorly.

I'm sorry, but the situation was indeed handled poorly. That's not an opinion, nor a belief, it's a fact. The problem is, what is the staff going to do about it from here on?

Though, I don't blame them, I suppose they discussed, and came up with that "solution" with best of intentions, but it turned out a disaster, as the way it was handled, was poor. I mean, first you get your solid reasons, arguments and rules broken presented, and then possibly have the offenders sanctioned depending on how severe the offence is.

Yes, this is an online community, surrounding a video game. But that does not mean common sense should be neglected when sanctions/punishments are involved. Since this process is essentially a form of judging people based on their actions and rules in the said community - when making decisions regarding such processes, the staff should deal only in exactitudes!
In an online community, that's the only way for credibility and trustworthiness to be gained and kept. And since I've read quite a lot of sanction related posts on this forum, I gotta say, the staff has managed to keep that credibility most of the time, because 99% of those decisions were driven and based on that same common sense I was talking about previously. Thus building a "structure" of credibility.
Alas.... a giant mistake (albeit a single one), can cause this whole "structure" to collapse, hence what we are seeing right now.

Summing this up....
Generalizing in sanction processing is bad.
Blanket sanctions are bad.

End of story.
