Unfortunately the Mod FAQ hardly covers all that a mod does and "The Staff Thread" contains information not for users. So it wouldn't be a useful argument to use to Mod FAQ. I did also mention that the "The Staff Thread" has been updated over the years.

Unfortunately the Mod FAQ may have been a little neglected on the other hand only having staff names updated. It still gives a general jist but its not completely accurate now.

I'd like to point out that I'm not a moderator. But I do have a solution to this little problem we have. I in my official position can state that there is nothing no updates or anything. That way nobody is being strung out waiting for anything. Should things change and something just appears. WOOP something came out fantastic. But the official stance can simply remain as nothing is going on.

:) problem solved when should I make the announcement?

No Raz, that is not a solution. That's you once again taking the community for granted and throwing a tantrum. Considering your attitude towards the staff and the community which is "my way or the highway" you honestly seem like you have very little care about what happens to Feral Heart. What you are doing right now, is flaunting your power and threatening those who don't abide by your rules, instead of listening to the community properly and making proper changes accordingly. No, you shouldn't do everything a user in particular or even a small group of users wants. But for something like this, when so many people are clearly unhappy and you have a chance to make Feral Heart stronger as a whole? You clearly lack an understanding of what would keep this game alive, of the actual value of the counity. Larger community games have gone down for the same reason, don't think this place is invincible. If you remain defensive and offensive towards the other users and staff, then it's clear to me that this is all about you needing to be right and stroking your ego of power. If this was about the community itself, you wouldn't stick to your guns about something so easily fixed. All you have to do is allow transparency. That's it. But instead you're fighting about it, do you realize how quicker this situation would have been handled if you actually did that? Do you realize you wouldn't have to keep defending yourself in a way that honestly makes you look like the bad guy here?

It's time to get over yourself Raz, step off that pedestal and come down to earth. Because I really don't think you see how ridiculous this situation is, when all you had to do, was allow something that won't hurt anyone and will only increase morale.

I basically left during the whole drama last time, this is an account of mine that I barely used, I was known as DarkLustyHumor before and helped out a lot on the forums for a time. Anyway..this is what I have to say about this:

Raz, I understand wanting privacy, I do. But you're currently treating this game like it's being run by a large corporation, which it is not. The staff members and the users are very important, as this game isn't overly popular, this is an isolated community. How the staff reacts can make or break the game. This is a game directly connected with social interaction, role playing, and there's nothing else that would keep people here other than that. So there isn't a lot to fall back on. You can't run this game in the dark, it's just not possible with the type it is. Transparency is very important, when the game itself surrounds so much around social interaction, then there needs to be a healthy relationship between the staff and the users. There's no income for this game, there's no special features. The staff that work here are volunteering their time and should be treated as more valuable than people you can just throw away. I don't know if you keep up with gaming, but if you're aware of the heat that Blizzard is going through right now for their value for their employees? They themselves are a huge company that is underwater for destroying the morale and going after hundreds of employees, when they have hundreds and hundreds to spare. Feral Heart doesn't have that, what Feral Heart has is a very few amount of staff members that are supposed to have a presence within the game and bridge the gap between staff, a terrifying hierarchy, and the other users. You can't rule by fear, in fact you shouldn't be ruling at all. The staff should be working together but still be free to enjoy themselves in the game. Without a connection to the users, why should the users trust the staff? They don't know what's going on most the time without the staff telling them. Then rumors go out of control. Just let the staff be friendly with other users, don't force them to be silent, allow them to be seen, let the users know that the staff is invested, that they care.
      You already lost one group of staff. I think it's time you set your pride aside and look at things from a different perspective. This isn't a corporation, you aren't seen as royalty, you are just some person that we don't know that controls the server and may as well be a robot to the rest of us. And that's because there's such a divide. Allow the staff to be seen as people. Because this game can NOT handle this drama and survive. Eventually something is going to give if things stay this way with you feeling the staff should be so distant. And when it gives, Feral Heart is done. Your actions, how you speak, what you choose to do, will say whether you have staff that will be loyal to you and stay, or leave. They have no incentive to stay on as staff here other than nostalgia. So give them a reason to stay, give them a reason to be loyal. Be fair to them AND the other users.

Otherwise we can say goodbye to Feral Heart.
