Thats not how this works, but if thats what you want you may want to start up your own community, or step up and volunteer here and actually try to help rather than moan.
If this is how you treat someone taking your side...

Ah the truth comes out. This place was just 2egy4u so you just had to "volunteer" to come in and fuck it up for everyone else. Thanks! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd say go eat your hot pockets but you didn't even get that much.

I volunteered here because I got tired of the porn / hate speech / racial slurs spewed all over this forum for the last 6 years I've been here, so I volunteered and stepped up to do something about it. I didn't complain about it endlessly in RnF every single time I saw something I thought needed attention, instead I decided to be an adult and take action. The existing staff agreed with what I wanted to do, and here I am. The leadership here decided they wanted to take moderation a step further post Daybreak agreement, and I for one welcome the changes am happy to support it. Apparently the vocal minority does not though, but the majority do.

If a post doesnt belong here, we're going to remove it. Period. We don't need public opinion / approval to do so. We want the forums cleaned up. Thats really pretty cut and dry. There is no conspiracy behind it. Now, what about that is "behind the scenes"?

Frankly, others on the staff and myself are pretty tired of the constant moaning and whining about forum moderation (this is Rants and Flames - even I can rant here about your whining [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]). We really aren't doing anything that we haven't told the community about. There is no conspiracy. There is no ulterior motive. We want the forums cleaned up, end of story.

Also, moving threads to off topic that are not P99 related is part of these changes, get used to it. Sorry if you disagree.
Good stuff

Then why do you come off as upset over what I said? Also my post was in no way an attempt to bash any of the staff. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, I'd just like to see a higher standard for professionalism among the staff of p99 that is even keel.

By all means please do start taking moderation more seriously. It's been a long time needed.

Just that they're doing it in the same manner they did before. Behind the scenes how ever they want with little to no structure for the public to see.

Can you please link me the post by a staff member that indicates what you said in the quote? Otherwise it seems like this decision was made "behind the scenes". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Who cares? Why do they have to address the community every time they make a decision? Are you a majority shareholder or something?

You literally just quoted Sikorski, a staff member, explaining out in the open what is expected of the forums.

You need earlier precedent or something? This isn't a court of law. It's a shitty forum where neckbeards, dickheads, shitstains and one funny dude(me) post meaningless crap. It's just not important enough to warrant a post every time some policy is updated, particularly when addressing an issue which has been glaring as long as this one has.

It's not hard to make a stickied post and update it every once in a while.

In fact it would involve much less effort/time from the staff than the past few weeks that the staff has been flailing about in a desperate attempt to justify their demonstrably shitty decisions.

he thinks getting so rustled by trolls on a 20-year-old elfsim forum that you take on a second unpaid job janitoring it, to the disgust of literally everyone who uses said forum, is "being an adult"!

Don't ban me bro, I came here to help. Next time, take some sage advice:
