>preach about staff needing better communication
>get upset when staff communicate that they need help

Pick one.

Easy +1, everyone complaining about staff pings have zero valuable input and should be ignored because their opinion is worthless.

What determines whether an opinion is valuable or worthless; who said you determine this? That's a rather close minded argument to make, wouldn't you say?  

There's a reason why these threads are publicly made and not just done in the staff discord privately; as long as an opinion isn't someone just shitposting, ANY viewpoint, EVEN and ESPECIALLY if you don't agree with it should be considered as valuable. Mindsets like this are why the casual players refrain from using the forums; this promotes an idea of only promoting one mindset on the community and to dismiss any sort of legitimate criticism. In this case, it's being dismissed as "complaining about staff pings," which is nothing less than toxic. If you want a community to improve, you have to look at things from all angles, not just what you yourself think is right.

The main complaint is Evan not showing he is capable of carrying his own weight; one of the things provided to prove that is the staff pings that he did over the course of his staffing career. The other is his lack of ban requests; of the two, the latter is more egregious than the first. Nicky also presented a strong case of him not enforcing rules when he should have been, which is alarming.


EDIT: You all minus -1ing this and my other concerns just proves my point of "it's an opinion I don't agree with, let's -1 it to try and tell someone they cannot criticize someone that we like." Literal hivemind mentality. (Some of you are doing it for the meme because I said I wanted to get to 0 rep, so you're not who I'm referring to with this.)
