Fair warning

[Vendetta]

Justin wants autonomy for the devs from the admins and equal rights. The admins want to maintain the procedure that Justin defended a month prior. Neither groups have ever had the fluidity of communication the Community needs to function at a healthy level. Justin - like it or not - is a rather valuable developer, but even he isn't irreplaceable. As for the admins? I don't know what to even think about the recent situations and staff reactions outside of the few members of the Green team I frequently talk to. The best way to describe it is this image:

And to be honest, this whole situation is dumb and taking up everyone's time which could be spent better playing/administrating/developing the game. That doesn't mean sweep it under the rug, but realize that there's an issue and work towards fixing it. Not as person to person, since that approach will quite obviously end in an argument and hurt feelings, plus more of these threads popping up, but as staff to staff. Own up to the position you all volunteered to fill.

The development team is crucial to the progression of the mod. Yes - They should've talked to the admins before moving to test something on the main server. Auto-cheat detected it, and it should've been assumed it was a mistake, but the Admins did what they promised to do and followed the procedure you so eagerly defended with the strike.

The admin team is crucial to the coordination of the server and maintaining gameplay at a fun level, but even they aren't immune to human error. They should've expected that the dev in question was likely running tests. There have been developers in the past who tested on the main server without issues. The issue now is the new anti-cheat system and procedural conduct of sanctions prevents testing without communication. Please talk to each other without getting angry or upset. Justin calm down and practice the sandwich rule. This approach didn't work the first time, it isn't going to work again and you know it.

There are several solutions that could be had here, but nothing is going to get done without people calming down and pointing fingers at who is to blame. In the end, I don't really care and I've been waiting two months for an SRP change. I just want that done now, and I'd rather people go back to enjoying themselves here rather than getting upset over an accidental miscommunication.
