Seems like there is a strong lacking of caring about others opinions in this situation with the good ol "My word is final cause im admin" treatment.
So I'd like to bring up some points here to question this.
1. Why even have committees when you can just overstep their decisions anyways, that literally does nothing and gives the illusion that community opinion matters when in reality you could care less.
2. Why were none of the people who defended noires alt asked for reasons why the defended it instead of just listening to what you want to hear. You talk about staff inconsistency but if all you do is surround yourself with yes men you are going to have the most biased, most anti-friendly staff team around.
3. Were is our training? you keep bringing it up to us but nothing has ever actually come of it despite it being literal months now.
4. Why is community opinion based on rank and the amount of hours one person logs a week? For those who are uninformed, there is a huge classiest type system in the staff ranks where lesser ranked staff are treated like they don't matter. Just because someone spends 40+ hours a week being mad and burnt out on this game doesn't mean they know better than someone who plays for years small amounts at a time.
5. There are claims of huge community changes and not to undercut any work Nicol has done, but where are the changes? All that has come out is Nicol is very vocal and actively trys to be a server dev. The server is still toxic, staff have no training, opinions are shunned, guests are instantly accused of hacking if they slightly breathe on a staff member the wrong way. We are no better than we were 1 year ago arguably worse because we don't have people such as fozzy or shwaggins keeping the chaotic groups down.
All this situation does is just show me we need someone who actively forwards the server and handles the technical end of things, and someone who manages the community side of things, but when you have only 1 admin doing both you get these situations. "My word is final" is the most bullshit, pride, and ego filled response you can hand out to anyone. The people responsible for causing this need to be the ones reprimanded, not the victims.
