Your_Mine:
I'd like to say a few things that are bothering me.  Mainly, it has to do with the way people in this community have been treating each other recently, even before this issue blew up.

Firstly, I would like everyone to start thinking of this community as a single team.  Recently, it seems like people have had a admin vs. certain ops mentality.  This isn't the way it should be! Remember that the admins have put in an awful lot of work into this server, and their only goal is to help the community grow.  Also keep in mind what the operators have done for this server.  Everyone in this community deserves respect, even if for no other reason than that they are a human being (not a name with an attitude).

Secondly, building on the idea of teamwork, I'd like to challenge everyone in this server to do something:
If you disagree with someone's actions or attitude, talk to them about it.  Don't sit back, "lose respect for that person", and then gossip about it when that person isn't online.  That helps absolutely nothing.  What I want you to do is to pm that person on the forum or IRC, and discuss it with them.  Treat them with respect, don't take a confrontational attitude, and simply voice your concerns.  Most likely, they will appreciate your input and take it into consideration, especially if they are someone on the staff.  This should especially be effected with the admins.  It seems that several people have had their problems with the way things have been run, but never said anything about it until now, and unloaded everything at once.  This practice (actually called "stamp-booking") is very damaging to relationships.  So please, please open up the communication lines and work together to improve ourselves.  Let's learn from recent events, and become a stronger community.


Keeping the above things in mind, it has come to my attention that someone thinks that I promote to recruit too easily.  This concerns me, as I have thought that I had high standards.  So I politely ask that whoever has this concern please pm me (not mention it here) and I'd like to work it out with you.  I'm not mad, don't worry, I just want to improve as an op. ;)

I like the idea of PMing people about problems you may have with them but From my time here I have found there are a various number of immature people (no name, no one to blame) that think retaliation in it's sarcastic form is the idea of 'sorting things out'. It just annoys people more and in all honesty I just don't think people would do it maybe because they want to keep the relationship they have going with a certain person. Or because (to put it bluntly) they haven't got the balls to stand up and say 'Hey, I think you're doing this wrong. Would you please take my thought in to consideration and change the thing you do'. Obviously, if there is any one on this server who would speak to someone like that then the respect for that person would be lost in a matter of minutes.

If done in a pm, the only respect that would be lost would be from the person being pm'd.  And if that's the case, there are bigger problems at work.
All I'm saying is be respectful.

I understand that's what you're saying but some people in the server do lack the respect towards others that should be expected.
And it's just being insanely obtuse.

I disagree, you should loose respect for someone after one mistake. No matter how much good they have done. To keep on giving that person chances takes up your time, which could have been used on talking behind that persons back.
