A legitimate request towards the staff
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2016 9:13 am
Please stop responding to user concerns with extremely apathetic responses
Some instances of these kinds of responses usually include "We're the staff, we know what we're doing", "You shouldn't care about this", "This is not a priority"
Exhibit A:
http://www.supermariobrosx.org/forums/v ... 99#p229699
Exhibit B: with note on "I don't feel like doing that" and "It's not something that requires immediate action"
http://www.supermariobrosx.org/forums/v ... 00#p228734
Exhibit C: with note on "Stop trying to monitor the staff"

I'm not asking anything extravagant of you guys, I just want you to stop responding in such a secretive manner.
This is the primary reason why ALL the threads regarding concerns end in shitstorms. The way it usually goes is: Someone questions the staff, and the staff immediately tells them to back off because "t-this is n-none of your concern!"
You could actually TRY and argue against the points people make. As with exhibit A, you didn't even make a slim attempt to defend m4st3rbr0s and mivixion, you kept making it obvious that you KNOW they have no reason to be there to the point where you can't even properly defend them (and to be honest, everyone and their mother already knows that they're only there because they're c00l dudz from lenny's land and the original smbx forums who form part of the joey funclub). It makes those two look worse along with yourself.
On the subject of exhibit B, the strongest point in there was the "We don't need this right now". This would've been perfectly fine if you actually said what the current priorities are. Heck, I haven't seen anything remotely important being in the works, ESPECIALLY considering that the forum software upgrade was like a century ago, which was the "main priority" back then.
And exhibit C is actually just ridiculous. Pseudo-Dino was handling the subject at hand in a proper manner and with actual discussion with AeroMatter, but then joey felt the need to basically tell aeromatter to fuck off (not in the literal sense of course). It was the textbook definition of unecessary.
All i'm asking is for you to not make an attempt to hide what doesn't exist from the community. Please actually try to respond to concerns with actual arguments instead of shrugging them off with the "We've got bigger fish to fry, none of your business, bub". This is why nobody bothers to politely discuss problems through private, because people know they're going to get the exact same response. The only reason to discuss problems in private is to not make the staff look bad at this point, because that seems to give you some sort of ptsd.
