Nahhhhhhh stop kissing up to VKL.

 

ngl sirrr pig was pretty good

 

ay f off all you haters you're takin the internet way too seriously

 

Tobe fair, this community currently is entirely too uptight. Nothing is forgiven anymore at all. This goes for staff and players. Court and kling tbh are the most easily approachable people on the team

 

this seems more about blaming us for being a bad community than you trying to be more approachable and responsible which is why people find it hard to stand behind you

 

hey courtney, thanks for the post. it's really important you stay constantly connected with the community and i think you always are very good at doing that. i think maybe a realistic goal for the staff team is to really try to not fight back with what the community is giving you and just take it in. it's a lot to handle and it's hard not to get defensive (i know i wasn't always perfect), but because most of them are children they see it as a direct attack on them. just tell them that you hear their concerns and will consider them. and you should consider them, but obviously staff knows best in the end as long as they have listened and considered all perspectives.

from the outside of both sides, it seems the biggest issue is communication. perhaps a bit of transparency is necessary. i think people just want to know what's going on because the server means so much to them. you obviously already outlined this necessity.

still, you seem to contradict this point here:

maybe this is the kind of transparency that would make people happier? maybe lightening up needs to happen on both ends - for the community and the server

additionally, some staff have said they do not have any authority to do more for the server. they can't help with the big projects. i think you should let them. mods are always, from my experience, the hardest working individuals on the team. let them help you somehow beyond public relations.

but yea emphatically the harassment needs to stop. it's getting ridiculous. i apologize for once upon a time being a part of it. it was toxic and unnecessary and counterproductive. you all deserve better and i should know that after spending time on staff for so long.

i think, as natsu puts it, everyone is just confused and wants to know what's going on. they miss their friends, and if the info comes from you rather than an angry toxic person who was banned for being an angry toxic person, it might make more sense to them!

thanks for your consistent communication, but maybe the communication just needs to be less pushing away and more inviting.

 

poor word choice by me

i apologize

but the point still stands that being more responsible for your actions and acting as more of a leader and less as a player would make people respect you more

 

courtney seems like the most approachable admin i've ever known.

i mean no offence to you other admins but i just feel as though I can't go and openly talk to you. also I know being admin is a big job and you don't have time for everything but there are lots of posts on your profile and stuff at least give a shot at replying to them? thats just my opinion ok.

 

Thank you for your explanation. It looks like they have done a quite a lot of stress to you and the staff team, and I 100% agree that that is pathetic and unacceptable. You are a volunteer, like every other staff on the server, and how the players hate on volunteers is extremely wrong and it is depressing to see all of those hate speeches. It is disgusting. It is awful. The people that send those messages have not thought how the volunteers are going to feel when they see it. It is working for something yet not being appreciated. The current situation is absolutely ridiculous and it is not particularly anyone's fault...

However, why has this escalated to the point that I and many others are having to type tremendous amount of anger in this? It is just misunderstanding.

The staff probably had rightful reasons to ban people, and I still have faith in them. However, we are not provided of any information whatsoever about our banned past friends. "None of anybody's business." It might not be our business to break the wall of privacy, but those none of your business things make us unable to judge correctly, because staff are blocking every possible information out of our hands. How are we supposed to make judgements if we are only given one side of the argument? In truth, nobody but the staff and the appealer knows why they were banned, and it feels like all the toxicity bans in the server were unjustified. No wonder why. Then, you say you are the victim of this, but who are the true victims?

It is the community. It is the average player. It is the server. No one knows anything. What causes hate is the concealing of information by the staff. We often don't make biased judgements because we want to, but because we are forced to.

How would we know anything when you say;
"Denied."

We are misunderstanding each other. Even though we love each other, a cold wall of misunderstanding seperates us.

I'm not trying to criticize anyone on their past. Please give us information. I believe that this is the only way for everyone to get satisfied. And if you consider this toxicity then please remove this post.

I hope you take this into consideration and have a great rest of your holidays

 

Hope she will accept our friend request! .

 

This feels like something my girlfriend would say when I didn't respond to her cause I was in a bad mood
