Ok, so let me get this straight here.
Because I spoke out against the mods, I get floored by literally half the forum for saying anything negative at all. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
Have you taken time out of your day to consider what I've said? I'm not speaking nonsense. I know you do this "for fun", but if you're going to run a forum, and even if it is for fun, you have to be serious sometimes. And yes Nace, I am questioning you and the rest of the admins competency. I know it isn't normal around here to question people's authority, but perhaps you should listen instead of declaring what I said as irrelevant. You can't just pull out the TOS and claim I'm doing something wrong when I'm not. What did I do that was against the rules? Say something that didn't follow the hivemind? Oh wow, so bad. Other people were the ones making a big deal out of it. Not me. And you say you try your hardest, but honestly you don't. At all. You barely follow your own TOS. You don't enforce any of your rules. You claim you only let in the "mature" underaged users, but that's obviously not true. Half the userbase is a bunch of immature children. Now tell me again how you enforce the rule and your oh so smart strategy of picking out the "mature" children. I wouldn't be surprised if you banned me for posting this message. At this point I don't care. RPZ is a lost cause.
I see your frustration and fears as rational, though this is a sentiment not shared by me. I too would like the rules to be better enforced. But the situation here on RPZ has been much worse in the past. I personally found this joke to be mildly amusing. Sure I would've preferred that they would just outright announce the mods without the whole joke, especially at such a moment of tension, but this isn't the worst thing in the world, in my opinion at least. I've been through situation like this before, put it was about the future of a game that I had paid for. I don't want this to evolve in a much worse situation. I too have some dissatisfaction with the staff, but I am sure this is something they can overcome.
I don't necessarily want it to evolve into something huge, but I can't help but be frustrated at people's dismissal of my words because they disagree with it. I wouldn't have responded again if it wasn't for that.
It is not the criticism we object to. It is the way you communicated it. Maybe you could share your solution to the maturity level problem with us? It's easy to say "Get rid of the children." but less simple to come up with a workable solution that A.) isn't totally ineffective because people lie about their age and B.) doesn't adversely affect or drive away others who are playing by the rules. And you know what? Making a pissy post about the board and the admin on Instagram where you thought it wouldn't get noticed is a pretty immature act in itself.
So what you're saying is that I'm not allowed to express my opinions of the forum outside of the forum because it's negative? That's not how things work in the real world. Trying to be the thought police inside the forum is stupid but somewhat understandable. Trying to control my thoughts and words outside of the forum? No. Screw that. Expressing my thoughts isn't immature. Trying to control what I have to say is what's immature.
We've never once told you that you could NOT express your opinions and where you do. We've gotten onto you for how you approached the situation. If you want to continue to be butthurt, then fine. However, you've not calmly shown us the situation. It sure as heck seemed like you were. And by the way, I'm not trying to hide my thoughts. I said that crap on Instagram because I wanted to be heard. That's kind of the point of posting something there in the first place. And you want to know why I'm acting this way? Because I have been trying to express my concern for the forums for almost 2 years now and not once has anything been done. I've messaged the mods my concerns and they never once listened to me. I'm not going to stop being frustrated because you don't like it. If you really didn't like it why haven't you banned me by now? Why not go further with your attitude and stop me altogether? I'm guessing you're only letting me post so you don't seem like the thought controlling leeches you are. Any time anything slightly negative comes along the mods shut it down instantly. Why don't you let people express their opinions? Argument is healthy. Being constantly happy go lucky isn't. We can't have actual discussion when everyone is sitting there circlejerking.

Ugh! If you guys would just be patient, get a life, or skim through the video you could see who the picks were...just cause these guys are mods dont mean that they sit at their computers all day. Its not that big of a deal to have 5 pages of complaints....

I feel that this thread has traveled too far off of the original topic and should be locked and cleaned before further issues occur.
Thank You

This is absolutely ridiculous...Arguing in a thread meant to congratulate the new mods and listen for other things that the staff team needs to relay to us. I can't believe it...I say that if anyone reading my comment to this thread has an issue with what's going on, to contact the staff team directly instead of dirtying a thread meant for positive attitude and good things.

It's clear that the mods aren't listening to what I'm saying, so I'm done. I doubt RPZ will be around for any longer anyways.

Or are you saying that you're hacking us? SMH. It's a shame that you can't really tell us what exactly you're having an issue with. The only thing you keep mentioning is the fact that the video broke the camel's back. Please feel free to actually explain what you'd like us to do!

I agree that this thread has strayed far off course and it hasn't been pretty.
To those who enjoyed the video and the announcement, we're glad you got some amusement out of it. To those who didn't, well no one can control how you feel but you. But you may want to take the advice of Ian Malcolm...
