Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Irwin]

I'm not sure if I understand your post correctly as it's not very clear, but are you suggesting getting rid of the (current?) administration and replacing it with nothing but a ruleset (or with a new admin team made of idk who) ?

At this point, any new administration is better than the rotten one we have now. Obviously we need admins to enforce the rules, but these one's go about doing that in the most destructive manner I've ever seen. Any new admin team should be chosen and selected by the community.

I'm not exactly sure asking the community to get in line behind a TS Squad made administration team will net you more trust than the current administration. You're essentially suggesting an administration forged from a popularity contest (or in our case, skypefriends) and it's a very, very predictable outcome when you know which group can right away muster minimum 30+ votes with ease. They can do more than assemble the jorm fleet at wish.

I mean I thought you had a bit better plan than that because I cannot see this performing any better than the current staff.

A more comprehensive proposal is obviously necessary for the successful replacement of the server's administration, but it is fundamentally necessary that it should include a democratic check on the administration at some point in the process. The specifics of it I don't think I alone have the answer too, though if you are interested in contributing to a more comprehensive proposal I would be more than happy to discuss it with you or other members of this community.

But, an important thing to remember when you attempt to demonize popularity contests is that people are popular in this community for a reason. People aren't popular members of the community when they fail to contribute to the server or improve people's experience in game. Believe it or not, they're popular for doing exactly the opposite. The current staff has even go so far as to create the facade of democracy by giving us the opportunity to vote for new members of the moderation team.

I say facade because one of the people selected only received one vote. A vote they casted for themselves. When you circumvent democracy and the will of the community, you end up with the absolutely destructive administration team we have today.

@Hannibal, I guess I answered the question "Who voted for you?" that you refused to answer. I find it strange that you couldn't answer it yourself, as you're literally the only person in the community who could be bothered to muster up the effort to type up your name and vote for you. Accepted any position despite zero support from the community is incredibly disrespectful sir, and you should be ashamed that you prance around these forums and pretend to have the popular mandate in support of your actions.

However, were this discussion to take place any longer in this thread I think it would count as sufficient derailment, as this thread is for feedback and review of the current administration.
