Let me just call you out right here and now. Ban me, delete me. Do as you wish, but how hypocritical of you. You want the members to be mature in this game, yet you have acted way out of line and abused your powers. Why you should of thanked the staff for sending out the maps.
[/size]Why you ask? Because there was a full scale riot about to happen, the maps being shown only made those members stop their full scale planning and fighting and theory making about you. They like every other member on this site made maps, and then made them for the public to use. Those maps where no different from the ones Red made a long time ago. Yes they where intended to be as an update, but you said no. So why should they let their hard work go to waste? The truth is, they shouldn't, they should show it off.
[/size]Now lets point out the immature factor here shall we? You took the time to go on a personal attack against members who went into those maps. Which was not some stolen link, it was given to them by staff of this site. So why attack them. You had no reason and no just cause for any of your action. Rather than act like a spoil brat. You felt they had went against you, deleted the staff from the game, their post and then went for the blow on the members who dare follow anyone but you.
You claim you don't care what people say or think, but you clearly care with the way you have acted. You are throwing a man child hissy fit to show how displeased you are. If you don't wish to run this game any more then find someone who can and will.
[/size]Have personal issues happening? Well how professional it is that you brought them into the 'work place' very MATURE of you. Honestly could you be any more of a hypocritical brat.[/size]

Honestly, I think the fact Raz hasn't responded to anything recently is the biggest in a 'show and tell'.

Yes, hi. i don't speak up much. But to be blunt, all I see is a child who doesn't speak and commune with their game's users throwing a tantrum all because he doesn't want to deal with the 'stress' anymore. What's more, you've went and disabled access to a map that, frankly, a lot of the users liked. Because the admins were stopping the outright flame war that was about to fall down on you doorstep. The lack of care for the members in this community and your own staff team both amazes and appalls me-- not because you do, but because of the fact that I thought it impossible to do to the level that you do.

You've also deleted a character of mine that I held very dearly to my heart up in said maps all because you 'didn't want that to ever reach the public' from what I understand. Why? Is it because you don't want to give the community what they want?

... Nevermind. I'm just speaking to a brick wall, and I think we all know it by now. Our pleas reach deafened ears, because you either intend to bring this game crashing down or you just don't care anymore. If you'd like to prove me wrong, please, send me a private message. Prove to me you're listening, please give me an answer more than 'it's what LKD would have wanted'. Not everyone wants to fight. Some of us just want to talk.

wELP! I'm adding to the list of people who've had their characters deleted for going into the patch maps.

Razmirz, I don't know what the HECK you're doing, but it needs to stop. I have a sneaking suspicion... that you're simply doing your best to kill this game, and honestly, that's what all the signs point to, pal. And you haven't got many people on your side in this fight.

I'd highly reconsider this ludicrousy you're trying to pull off. The staff team is actually making people happy. They're helping the community, moreover giving us a way to cope with this hell you're about to put us through, this stupid robotic ban-management system that is BOUND to fail.

[Fireplace]

I haven't posted in the forums for years and I wasn't actually planning to do this because I know there isn't much to add that hasn't already been said, but I think what you did was very wrong and childish.
 I'd understand deleting the maps if you really didn't want them in game even though I did not agree with that either, but I know you only deleted every character who went in there completely out of spite and to upset us for not agreeing with your actions.
I don't know what else to say.. I'm so disappointed in you and what you're doing to fh.

Another long-time lurker crawling out of the woodwork.

Although I can agree self-moderation isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's a tool that needs to be used in conjunction with moderators because, as many other people have mentioned, it can be oh-so-easily abused. As an example, World of Warcraft 'silences' (they can no longer speak in public chats) players who receive a large volume of reports in a short amount of time. I've seen guilds co-ordinate and use it to mute players they dislike or disagree with; I guarantee it'll happen. However, in this game's case, GMs usually rectify the silences or bans when messaged, especially if they were unjustified. Feralheart won't have this.

Another thing is the general age of the game's playerbase. There's some incredibly young kids here who admittedly do need the protection of moderators. I'd honestly worry about the content they'd be exposed to, especially if there was a genuine case of harassment that was kept within groups and whispers-- somewhere that won't invoke the blocks required for a ban. Even then, there should be complete transparency about the system being put into place to soothe everyone's worries. How many reports with trigger the ban? Are the bans permanent? Is there any way to rectify bans made in error without moderators? What if a problematic member doesn't receive the required number of blocks? Such a controversial change should definitely include more information- for everyone's sake.

Either way, I feel this is a case of 'if it's not broke, don't fix it'.

This is very rude of you to say. Many people love this game and grew up with it.

[QuinnTheDuck]

i swear to god.

do we have to seriously make 800 pAGES of posts for you to understand? what are you, 9?
seriously, raz, stop with the shenanigans, we're not little kids and we're not up for playing your little games.

someone else mentioned it - why are you making the hunger games?
we didn't make an uprising, but we will??
in the end president snow dies and somehow, if you don't decide to change this, you'll be left alone.

humans live on being in a group, they're social beings, and if you simply decide to ruin your own community by making your own hunger games then, hey, you probably won't get killed, but you'll be left alone.

because everyone who's got brains will leave the game, quit for good and find a better place with a better admin to keep it up. literally, ever since red retired, fh has been going downhill. not saying the staff didn't do a good job - dude, they were awesome. organizing events and fun playtimes for members of the community and actually caring to bond and talk with them rather than sitting there and, what you'd call /babysitting/.

i seriously don't understand you and i don't think anyone else does at this point. what are you, a god? hell no. so stop acting like one.

[Grimmjow]

I really wish I had something meaninful to say, but I'm just dissapointed...really, dissapointed... :/

[RadleyGreenLions]

Yes, Hi. Another unfamiliar face commenting.
I've played FH since 2012 and I've seen it grow and fall throughout those years. Although I'm in college now i still like to hop on in now and again to see how things are doing. After hearing about the new maps and the upcoming patch, I was stoked to see Fh still had some promise. But now, after hearing what Raz is doing to the game and how he's basically treating the staff with what it seems to be little to no respect, is heart breaking.
Raz, if you so happen to read this, which you might not, whatever little game you're playing, whether you're doing this for the good of Fh and we don't see it yet or you're causing havoc just for tur fun of it, this needs to stop. Communicate with your community, especially your staff. They're here to help you and support you, don't push them away by what you're doing. Yes, you're the server master, but you need to work with your staff and come up with a agreement even if it means compromising. Half way happy of you want to put to that way. If you can't do that, then i don't know what else to say other then this is no way to run a game and definitely no way to treat your staff and community.

Thank you for your time.
