' Wrote:I think Vero is a good example here. Many many did not know Vero, but his vote still came out positively (in the hundreds I believe) because others voted yes for the sake of voting yes. Maybe next election should actually be an application/election/vote deal like it was before. I'm not sure how much you relied on the comments made in the threads of the admin polls, but the "Yes" answer always seemed to out-weigh the "No" answer.
To be fair here, while I understand what you're saying, I still think Vero was one of the best admins we had. Hard to get a straight answer about damn near anything from most of them.
Which brings me to my next point. I'm tired of saying this and getting it overlooked.
THE RULES NEED TO BE REVISED!
Ditch the ones never enforced (system-owning factions for example), add the ones that aren't listed but are enforced (jump hole abuse), and rewrite the whole damn list.
Will it take some work? Yes. Will it be beneficial to the server? Yes.
Something else that was said that I want to emphasize.
Quote:Which brings me to my next thing. It is still possible to be polite in a sanction thread. Please exercise that more often. Although I know the responses aren't always polite back, but your job is to move past that.
Also, when someone goes so far as to acknowledging his wrong, stating what he is going to do about it and taking responsibility, please at least give them merit for that. There has been a few cases like that recently, and certain admins have still come off like down-right pricks towards said new member.
I have seen attitudes like those of a few admins here destroy communities. I have seen servers for other games rise and fall plenty of times to know that one. I have, regrettably, been involved in one such gigantic screwup. I am not making an off-hand remark, I am dead serious here: Hoodlum, Xoria, Del, lighten up if you can and take some time off if you can't. Its for your own good and the server's.
EDIT: See, your post here, Hoodlum? Perfectly fine, not at all what I'm talking about. You just posted faster than me.
