We Want to Know

I have to go with Broli on this one. As a member and even my short stint as Staff I think the biggest issue is the lack of compromise. It seems like if a Staff member gets an idea and asks what people think if it is anything other then 'Fucking cool!' they get defensive and try to argue their point and as to why what they think is better rather then try and reach a compromise or discuss the other person's grievances.

Even in a thread designed for members to bring their complaints people get met with:

"You're wrong I did this because..." instead "I can see how that might have came off that way. My intentions were..."

I think if the overall defensivness was dropped. Staff are people, and people have faults. I cannot say that I'm displeased with anyone who is Staff now cept for a couple who joined during my leave whom I haven't gotten to know yet. I do think differences of opinion could be better recieved, though.

You already know what else I have to say in the Kame House.

Most of the defensiveness has come from years of being second guessed, or just plain rude and ignorant behavior of the members. Another thing is that what you see on the forum isn't all there is, staff members are usually pestered on an instant messaging program as well as through PM's all of which are the same complaint from multiple sources.

It gets to a point where you have 4 people bitching at you about the same thing at the same time, or one person PM'ing you or whining at you over AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.

At that time you just want to say "SHUT THE FUCK UP DICK LIPS"


Edit: A lot of you need to remember this isn't an actual job, the staff take time to voluntarily do this. The time they could spend roleplaying, or enjoying themselves is spent creating content, running saga's, updating, and listening to people's complaints and trying to work with other staff. It's not like they are paid to do this.

I spent a few years of my life running chubbs, and building content with Rei and Rad including the rules that are still in effect today and most people just look at me like an annoying old coot that doesn't know what he's talkin' about.

Being staff is a thanklass job. D:
