Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Mímir]

Elected admins won't work. You'll end up with Spazzy like someone in this thread already suggested. Case closed.

Just keep the team intact but recruit a seasoned PVP-type person. Someone who has in-depth knowledge of other aspects of the game than typing text in chat or forums, or organizing events. When Disco was at it's greatest it was Reavers and Mandos in the admin team. Carebears don't fully understand neither the game nor the community, no single individual does, but it's crucial to have different aspects and viewpoints represented. Otherwise it's pointless to act like a team to begin with. Majority vote can't guarantee that balance.

There are too many carebears, who in spite of their good intentions have caused a lot of harm for quite some time, and the community would probably be dumb enough to elect even more if the majority held that power.

From the outside looking in, here's my suggestion:

1. Admins go 'whoopsie, we made some mistakes collectively, let's stop pinning the blame on certain individuals and be friends now' to try and reconnect with the players without losing face totally
2. Admins recruit a PVP-type person into their ranks for a more balanced view on the game, perhaps someone who remembers Dieter Schprokets' inspirational and eternally true avatar from when he was an admin. It is really all about finding a balance
3. Snak3, Lyth, Chuba are unbanned, possibly more that I forgot (sry)
4. This thread is deleted as it's just inviting for trouble. Admins can deduce whatever they need to know from general discussion threads or complaints about sanctions. The easier it is to file complaints, the more complaints admins will get
5. People carry on with the perpetual cycle of shooting typing words in the in-game chat/whining on forums/ragequitting/returning
6. Admins can do their spring cleaning and re-think their purpose and effort in private in relative peace, pitchforks safely tucked away

Have fun!
