Although I agree with much of what you say, I beg you not to decrease the amount of fun that we DO have here. If you leave, you only give into the nOObs that bother you so much. The number of veterans is slowly decreasing because people are caving into the large number of low quality posts. Instead, stay on as long as you can and I, for one, will work as hard as I can to at least make a dent in the recent problems. In fact, just recently I was looking at the number of posts per day at FFR since September. It has rocketed from a mere 450 to over 1000 posts DAILY! And I must agree that many of them are spammish or flaming. But give it time and those members will either disappear or the staff will get rid of them once they make their mistakes. And maybe a few will slip through the cracks, but are you seriously going to let that get to you?
As far as a quota goes, I'm extremely shocked that you were flamed. That idea never occurred to me and now that I think about it, with a little bit of figuring out somethings, that might be a beneficial system. The idea of closing registration has been brought up but that does seem a bit drastic to me. For instance, many contributive members have popped up, including Lennon Legend, Dweeb (INAH), Quistis and such. Once the moronic members are weeded out, we may just get that community back that you miss so much. But it takes some time.
Also, as far as the battle system goes, I have an idea on that which I will PM you about.
And finally, your attack against the not-so-new-anymore staff members is the only thing I disagree on. I can't name a single person who was modded that had any spammish posts whatsoever. And whether it be a good thing or not, I think only one person had over 1000 posts. And the point is, post count, as you said, shouldn't be such a factor in whether somebody is or is not a productive member or staffy. We were picked because the other staff members figured we would do a good job. And for the most part, we have.
In conclusion, I hope you won't disregard what I've said solely on the basis of how long I've been here. FFR has changed ALOT, even since September, but please don't just abandon hope on it. Give everybody a chance and eventually things will work themselves out. |
