Pilot no offence dude but when you put yourself across as a raging nut most of the time who's out to try and bait responses and be as antagonistic as possible there's a reason I assume you are out to do that - not just "calmly disagree".
Rabid
Rabid
I've said this before, I don't hate you. I think you can put your points across better though - people are so unwilling to deal with you because of how you present yourself, even if you just wanna discuss it.

but I’m not a raging nut I don’t even reply rudely most of the times now that’s just everyone else and I get warned for it
PilotBland
PilotBland
I’m not gonna argue that cause specifically that’s just how the forums is and it doesn’t effect me I just see it as hypocritical to call me a toxic guy when everyone does it
PilotBland
PilotBland
It’s not my fault I’m blunt about it and not a snarky faggot who try to do underhanded jokes or bandwagon
Rabid
Rabid
You come across as looking to pick a fight because you don't come in "hey, can we talk about this?" its always with passive-aggressive snark or a jab or a "MAN, SURE WOULD BE NICE TO RP!" type of attitude.
Rabid
Rabid
You aren't toxic, but you also don't pump the breaks. You go in full-force every single time. Sure, other people make snide remarks but they'll also cool it off and just chat.

it sure would be nice to RP on the RP server that’s starting to rid more and more features for convenience yes
Rabid
Rabid
But thats the thing. It isn't convenience. If I put you in the SD seat and let you see the full thing you'd probably realise just how much of the community is /forced/ around dealing with people who ape the experience - to ensure they CAN'T do so.
Rabid
Rabid
You wouldn't abuse it, I'm sure. You also aren't a big chunk of the playerbase who're not breaking rules but instead simply force responses and complain about it.

being staff isn’t that difficult and SDs shouldn’t have so much weight on their shoulders that’s just elected by BQ

I’m sorry it really isn’t that hard
Rabid
Rabid
Pilot have you ever genuinely ran a large scale community? I'm asking because you saying "it isn't that hard" doesn't take into account that if the playerbase had it all their own way the server would genuinely be dead by now.
Rabid
Rabid
This is the exact sort of thing I'm talking about. You are dismissive. Instead of saying "Well shit maybe if someone who ran this place is saying it, it has some merit" its "No it isn't that difficult you are wrong".

You can't run a server around "IC is IC" or it dies because people take the absolute piss and drive everyone off.
PilotBland
PilotBland
no. That doesn’t disqualify me from saying that BQ shifts more weight on his shoulder then necessary.

I’ve been part of larger scale communities that regular admins had more weight to their words then what nebs SAs
PilotBland
PilotBland
no ones electing ic is ic rn
Rabid

Equally its very easy to tip the balance on a community like this because someone authed/said/allowed a poor judgement call to happen. Its less "BQ takes too much on" and more he likes to know whats happening on the server he's trying to run, y'know?

And I know, but that was me circling back to a lot of the rules and stuff that get railed against.
PilotBland
PilotBland
just have sas be trustworthy lol
Rabid
Rabid
They are. But obviously, sometimes they make very poor calls anyway. Its not even that BQ wants to (or does) step in all that much. He just wants a "hey, this is happening" so he knows.
PilotBland
PilotBland
You can be informed? Usually SAs phrase it as a necessary thing

every auth has a “add Bq” to it

I’m surprised CWU ans WI apps don’t have SD approvals prior
Rabid
Rabid
Because again, there was a history of SA's accepting stuff they THOUGHT was fine but didn't exactly consider things properly. Its just common courtesy so you don't get a repeat of what started it, which was waking up to Steam messages about rebels setting off a mustard gas bomb in the loyalist block during a big preplanned event that was to push the plot forward back on early CW.
