Can I just say:
I bet 5$ that staff will reply with "We cant control Raz".
oof size: large
this time on "how to not run a community"
posting in an epic thread
sura is a bee
the fact that people are getting banned for either looking at this thread or commenting on it is really just,,,
a sign of mismanagement on the staff's end
this is why, when polled, your community said that they didn't trust y'all. bye i guess LMAO
yeepers.....
These comments should not have been made, whatsoever. They contribute nothing to the purpose of this thread and are, matter-of-factly, just pokes in the ribs @ Staff to cause drama and try and provoke a reaction to try and force answers. This is not how we, as part of the Feral Heart Community, should be dealing with situations like this. While yes I do not agree with the removal of a very innocent - benevolent thread - I think it's rather outrageous of the extent some of you guys have gone to 'get your point across' in a not-so-nice way. Some of these comments are not even to get your points across, but to be petty about actions happening towards you. Which I owuld also like to add, I do not agree with either! Yet disagreeing with it doesn't give anyone a right to then make further, unnecessary comments that don't benefit a problem we're trying to solve or a question we're trying to find answers to.
As for this:
"AppleCider" aka Birdie,
The thread you speak of was deleted by Razmirz. None of us staff (admins or moderators) deleted the thread or even know why it was deleted.
In the future do not lie to perpetuate a false narrative. It's not becoming of a former MOTS of the Feral Heart Community or anyone in general.
We will be recreating a new thread with helpful guidelines and information for those seeking help.
Regardless if Birdie was the same person as AppleCider, there is no need to have an underlying tone following the lines of 'It's not becoming of a former MOTS of the Feral Heart Community or anyone in general.' This seems to be coming from a place of frustration yet, it also seems very unprofessional to me. Perhaps I'm misreading this and correct me if I am. However, if a member of the community were to speak like this they'd be banned for it and/or spoken to in a PM, so this is just double standards. The thread could have at least been locked and AppleCider PM'd if
THIS is how you're going to approach the matter. A reaction like this should be expected if that's how you treat people, is all I'm saying.
But...
why does a new thread need to be made?
The thread xSpirit posted was very informative and helpful, as simple as it was. If the Staff really had an issue with it, then the least you guys could have done as a team was work towards revamping it rather than a new thread altogether.
Could it be because of the drama between FHU and FH? Who knows, but from my perspective it's almost as if Raz would rather have a new author of the thread so xSpirit won't be praised for doing the original helpline thread, now that he's gone forward with FHU and has a very genuine Staff team behind him. He'd rather have a member of his own team take the credit. I doubt I'm the only one that thinks that either, now that Sura has stated "we're making a new one" even though it's completely unnecessary and quite frankly, unfair treatment towards Spirit - who took his time to make that thread in the first place.There was nothing wrong with it and nothing can prove otherwise.
As hinted earlier on in this thread, it's just a sign of pettiness if my observations are true.
Unactive staff? As I know Sura, Spicy, or ANY staff member they'll come here. And TALK. No, like everyone thinks staff is very bad, unactive, only block and remove, blah, blah, blah. Have look on feedback - SpicyDirt wanted do good thing, but of course our community made another drama. I know, everyone want transparency, but If you wanna talk about it, make thread. And let staff talk with you, then they will.
I don't know situation with Birdie. Excuse me? I said I don't know THIS situation? I don't know any Damn dramas there. Y'all don't see what's wrong? Open your eyes and look. Not only you and your censorship and transparency problems excist. Everyone says game is dying. Why? 'Cause newcomers are leaving. Why? 'Cause we're talking about damn dramas.
Also, Sura, make this psychical thread asap, feel like I'll need it, lol. (And not sure am I joking.)
Try to think - maybe problem isn't only in staff? Maybe it's you?
I feel like I'm standing in The Grounds and screaming. Why you grab dramas to fight with staff? Why you see only yourself? And MAYBE people who agree with you? Why you don't wanna just talk with staff? Why you're only trying to scream louder than try to TALK?
We all want answers… but from expirience I know that we'll hear only false whispers.
To rhetorically ask if it's the members who are the problem is rather... I don't know what word to put to it, but that's not right.
Sure, the community have said and done things just as unnecessarily as Staff. But if it's obvious that it's not mostly the community that is the issue, statistically speaking.
You say making a thread will encourage Staff to talk. Well, it hasn't always been this way.
This thread has literally been made to highlight the fact that Staff (or Raz, really) has been archiving threads which defeats the purpose of users wanting to talk to Staff.
This. Is not. Right.
Something happens in the community and where is everyone's target? The staff. Even when they actually TRY to do anything, it's not good enough for anyone. They literally CAN'T do some things. And people don't understand that. They just feel content coming on here and making fools out of themselves while trying to persecute the staff here.
While Raz refuses to speak to the community himself the majority of the time, of course fingers will be pointed towards the Staff instead. They are the next level down to the Server Master and are deemed responsible for the communications between themselves, Raz and the community. Sometimes, we don't even get an answer from them either, so by that point who are we supposed to turn to for answers? We're humans, we all like to know what's going on - secrets being held and answers being avoided causes rigidity and a sense of 'something is wrong'. So we start bickering. The more things are kept away from us for unjustified reasons, the louder the community will get.
Of course there are some things we don't need to know. However, for something as sweet as offering help when we are at our lowest - we as a community, are OWED an explanation as to why the helpline(s) have been taken away from us.
That's like person A putting up a poster about where to get help if they get injured. It's up a few months, person B actually gets injured but when they look for that nearby poster, it's gone. Why? What are they supposed to do now? Then why they cry for help, the people surrounding them are all like "Oh, nah Person A is stinky so we got rid of it and will do our own version in several years' time because we have other priorities. Soz, you'll just have to deal with the injury yourself, lol."
Just my two cents.
