There is no "massive majority" that wants yellow text. This is another problem the staff have to deal with: idiots claiming to speak for the majority.

As for some kind of summit with the players, it should preferably be on IRC or in game where it's more interactive, and there should be grounds for excluding certain people from participation. I'm not saying it should be a circle jerk of all the people who think the same way as me, but people who are known to frequently lie, break the rules, or be blatantly rude to the staff shouldn't even be considered. There are plenty of reasonable people in all the major guilds so you can represent the population's opinions without letting everyone participate.

They don't owe you anything. This server hasn't been ignored; relative to blue99 the population was consulted/appeased a lot more. You would help your cause a lot better if you just stopped posting.
