Improve Presentation of Discovery's Rules

[Ash]

The reason why discovery's resident "bigshots" (someone else called them "local chieftains") block ideas, contributions, and improvements that come from people who aren't their dedicated underlings or part of their in-group, is because their egos simply can't stand the fact that someone else may do better than them.

You have a great way of telling people how to do their job despite having never done it before.

Well that's exactly the thing, Ash. I HAVE done their job. I've polished up the rules that were a mess, and I've made a help system that was sorely needed. While the entire population of residents bigshots was unable to do it for frikkin 10 years.

And yes, absolutely, I have an ego. Just don't pretend the opposition against something that is an unambiguous improvement isn't coming from the egos of those who oppose it.

So I would kindly like to ask that you, and those who can't see the logs in their own eyes, to give people (and the server that needs those people) who want readable, accessible, and up to date rules a break.

Thanks for that, you've very clearly reinforced the point I was trying to make about your messiah/superiority complex. At least we're clear on that. Humility, it would seem, is certainly not in your repertoire.

After everything, why would someone you have heavily criticised and harassed want to help you advance your ideas? The answer to that question may help you understand why people in management are so resilient to engage with you. You were given a fresh start when your membership was reinstated, and yet you've done a pretty good job of p*ssing off alot of people. Now you're ignored. Doesn't that tell you something?

I'm not denying you have the ability to do good work karlotta, only pointing out that you demand a shining star every time you pull something out of the bag. Then you parade around the forums like you're a godsend. You may be trying to do good but you're not Jesus Christ, he was much more subtle about it.

I've helped you refine your work in the past because I too was led to believe it was for the betterment of the mod. But with every post you make the more it becomes blatantly clear that the primary beneficiary of everything you've written is your ego. You're not the first big ego to strut through the community and you certainly won't be the last. The exception with you is that you project your ego and indeed your jealousy onto just about anyone who may disagree with you. That was the case with laz, and has consistently been the case with the admins and devs.

There is a hard truth you need to get your head and your ego around which is that yes, you too can have bad ideas. Dozens of people have tried to criticise you constructively, but you respond by steamrolling them and charge off with the idea anyway. Then you throw your toys out of the pram when it's getting rebuked in it's final stages and blame the admins or devs for being jealous that they didn't come up with it first.

You throw out hostility in every direction and then blame the world for avoiding you.

I implore you to have the wisdom to see that the admin and dev team are not your rivals unless you make them to be. You have an extraordinary drive and ambition to see the mod considerably improved; this could be realised If you'd only swallow your pride and stop antagonising everyone.
