joye

So, since throughout basically the entire month ive seen like ten million things about drama and joey, i think i'll focus on the latter part, i could probably have made this into a private thing, but i didnt want to risk joey just saying "k", so i'll leave this right heRE AND NOW:

The first point i'm going to cover is the rules that are probably going to get this thread locked, let's look at them first:

[quote]Refrain from creating topics dedicated to personal concerns about particular users, groups, specific staff members or the staff in general, and the community.
Refrain from creating topics discussing staff actions, and moderation.
[strike]Avoid posting in threads about the behavior of fellow members and how they act.[/strike]
[strike]Do not contribute to chain responses against particular users, and report them when necessary while trying to avoid conflict.[/strike]
Make topics follow the forum description of "what would you like to see," rather than "what is bad and needs to be changed."[/quote]

So, most of these rules were created after drama shitstorms, and they were created to avoid them, which is partly fine, but now all of these have added up, and basically almost the entire ruleset is screaming:

"please don't point out mistakes by the staff"

Now, the staff team right now is mostly functional, i haven't seen any of them do dumb shit. With the exception being, of course, Joey.

The main issues i have with joey is that [u]He is really not fit to manage the [b]community[/b][/u], as a [b]forum[/b] manager he might be fine an dandy, but he's extremely awful at managing the userbase, half the time he makes them more uncomfortable with shit rather than improve it.

Here are some examples:

Let's start with a somewhat minor thing, but it's also an example of how he manages some shit:

In the mafia forum, everything was fine and dandy, people (with the gamemasters) created a way to get substitutes for people that left the current games, in order to specify, it consisted in: after the signup process was finished, the signup thread for the current mafia game would be used for getting substitutes.

everyone used that for like 10 games, then joey [b]LITERALLY OUT OF NOWHERE[/b] comes in and does this:

In the following pages, people almost unanimously start arguing against that descision, a lot of people were like "that's dumb let's keep the old system", almost everyone was against that shit, but, joey's response was always "hey lets see how it works ok"
