Yes i can agree with that rich ..
that is why, i said the Higher members should ALWAYS have the last say .
but other lower level members DO still have valid points to make .
on other Past occurences witch may have happened in the public forums . these possible other occurences may have been overlooked or miss-understood by some of the members,
While this isn't to say that Members Shouldnt be the only people responsible
for the banning of users of this community
i feel that depriving the people who are not as high ranked members ( but are still making a valid contribution to the community and are " trusted ") from having their say actualy taken notice of , then people would not feel part of the community .
you cant deny there are people who havent got the rank of SRL Member
but are still loved, trusted, friends of villavu,
that i think deserve their say
.

Here is my 2 cents on the staff.
I dislike them in ways that i see them as ignorant assholes who know it all.
The staff reminds me of my boss at Pizza Hut. If anyone gives an idea for productivity, he doesn't listen and rants on how its fine the way it is.
In other words, hes a fucking lazy mother fucker who's biased on his ideas only.
That's the way I see the staff now.
I don't want to the hear this BS about " we have personal lives, blah blah blah"
If you had personal lives you wont log onto this forum every day to give your 2 cents on a procedure that someone created, and call it "not good, or we already have it. nice try now gtfo."
Example:
http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64075
Seriously, come on.
Get your act together.
Just my 2 cents as this is how I still see the staff cents Cstrike was bashed away.
Just sayin.
Squancy, if you keep talking about cstrike, let's say he was completely wrong on the technical side he was complaining at. 'ADD INTERFACES TOOO SMART PLEEAAASEEE', while SMART already supported it, just reflection didn't.
Prove me wrong.
Also, if he was right, why would he leave? This community is about learning, if he really wanted to he could grab SMART's source (yes, it's FOSS now) and add it himself (f it was actually missing)..
Also, if he really wanted to accomplish something, why would he leave when one admin (who isn't involved at all in staff decisions) complained a bit about his whine-babying?
Please clarify, in my opinion it just shows a lack of self-confidence and choosing the way with the least resistance. Going away.
All (except one) of the staff didn't have a problem with cstrike at all. Please don't generalize too much. Talk him to go back if he's got the guts to! We'll welcome him.
I made a new script, check it out!.
Oh we already ranted enough about RM. He can't help it, please leave him out of it.
RM: you're doing fine atm But please, don't be too over-protective of MSI though it's your baby
I made a new script, check it out!.
Why can't we have lives of our own? I don't get this part. If you're willing to pay me 40 dollars per hour I'll be happy to administer the forum all day. But as long as you won't, I'll stick to my five classes + thesis. You seem frustrated but I don't really get your point.
I don't think we try to put people down.

I've had my fair share of rants about the staff, as well as pretty heated discussions with some of them, but at the end of the day you've got the realise that the staff (believe it or not) are normal people just like you and I, with work, education, and families all taking time, and if need be, priority. Although SRL is a fantastic forum, the staff, just like everyone else, have 'bad days' when they're in a shitty mood, and some of their posts reflect that, but the fact is that the effort put in by the staff is brilliant. We may not be the biggest community out there, but we're definitely one of the most friendly and welcoming ones out there, and this is due to the ethos passed down in ranks. Without the staff that we have, we'd probably end up like Sythe where you can find the highest ranked members scamming.
Remember...
staff <> aliens
staff = humans

I don't mean the whole staff, I'm only pointing out how some may criticize to much on people work.
And i wasn't talking about Markus, or YohoJo on that thread. As i didn't want to mention names.
@wizzup; I would never in the right mind pay someone 40 dollars per hour to monitor letters, for 8 hours a day. Simply, because I don't want to be responsible for their crappy health problems that they will have.
I only mention that, because they seem to take 30 minutes out of their "busy" day to rant on something that they can find.
I don't have a complete list of where i have seen this, but their has been many times where i wanted to negative rep them for it.
I'm not frustrated at all, only annoyed as I have to bring this topic up once again.
And I figured it would fit perfectly in this thread.
@Rich I respect the staff, i really do. I don't hold a grudge on them all day long and think about how stupid am I for posting my opinions on the forums that will not matter. I know they have done a great job since I had first joined, I'm only pointing out the obvious to fix the obvious.
After all, that's what this thread is about.

I see what you mean and I get your point (I sometimes have the same feeling), but you can't entirely compare browsing the forums and doing work for SRL. Personally, I find it hard to start working on something I know I need to take my time for, when I actually haven't got that much time. Browsing the forums is something you can do in between things.
Of course, I have much more spare time than I actually put into working for/at SRL. Sometimes I just want to do nothing or sometimes I want to do other things. As Rich said, staff <> aliens.

Fucking blowing our cover, man.
I think you misspelled "arrogant"
since*
Also, any bashing that may or may not have occurred was warranted, even if you do not see the reasoning behind it. Talking about things you don't understand is a bad idea.
Aww, he called me THE STAFF, which I guess means I own the place now.
(please don't be offended or angered in any way, that would make me win, after all. Also, this took much less than 30 min to find and rant about, so your estimates might be a bit off)

<3 BenLand
<3 The Haters......
Why haven't the administrators put in a vending machine in the lobby? I mean, when I log in, I'm in the lobby, and I would like a soda while I browse the sections.
Agreed?
@ Benland
Nuff said.
I feel the (a) staff (member) could be more understanding towards one's views and opinions, and discuss it with them in a way that isn't condescending.
I'm not naming anyone, but I hope they know who they are and learn how to handle people and their feelings/views better.

Time is just an illusion, we are all dying from the disease of age.
