Pulling the curtain away a bit, I will say that select threads I had created within the staff subforums when I was last a green was (mostly) ignored.
Official Faction discussion was mostly me replying to my own thread with different ideas and elements. Pinged the staff multiple times to co-operate and send some ideas in. Unless things have changed since my last departure, I would bet money my name is the only one in that thread. Has there been any developments on that by the way? Last I heard the bar set in the proposal apparently meant that no current (at the time) OFs qualified.
Then there's the table I put together for repeat offences, how bad the punishment gets depending on the offence of the reported party. These would standardize a lot of things. I understand that each VR that comes along is unique and doesn't fit the table, but there's been a good lot of examples where the community has pointed out inconsistencies with sanctions. A handful having been withdrawn. These need to be internally addressed and agree on a standard. Minute alterations to the standard are fine, but at least it will prevent the wildly inconsistent punishments for the community to throw back at you.
My experience with staff recently on an individual basis has been adequate, some more, some less than others. There are a couple staff I would like to see not utilize gaslighting and manipulation when in a discussion or argument as this happened with me recently on the rules discussion thread. Not great conduct from someone in an elevated position.
I'm not one to single people out on this thread, as some other community members have been. I just hope that shit improves because I honestly don't like what I see.
