Ten days of waiting are literally nothing compared to how long people are waiting patiently for other stuff. Take a sandwich, calm down and just be patient, because there is no way of giving fair estimates on when someone will do your stuff, because it's not like "It will take that amount of time to do it", but like "There is so very many things to do and there is only so much time to do it". And then you need the right guys available as well.

Your style is not a single bit less arrogant, to be fair. Just be patient like everyone else, because we can be happy that there are people doing this very unthankful job anyway on a daily or weekly basis.

I can have boys in your age as my sons, so watch what you say
Secondly, mind your own business ...
You know nothing about the situation so go eat a sandwich or play with your toys and don't interfere between others when they talk

Then adjust your behavior to an adult of your age. Reflection and empathy.

I am , and i would like to ask you to mind your own business again
I am not really willing to join you in a kids argument which will end in nothing useful , so off you go.

You should try to understand how the thing on the admin side matter of factly is, though, and that many people are waiting for their stuff. SRPs, factions waiting for being reviewed, sanction reports (more than you see, as a lot of them are not worth a sanction), forum moderation, communication with devs, communication with coders, communication with everyone, and the fact that people are living in different time zones and have RL families, jobs, relationships and hobbies apart Discovery. Don't expect too much from people who are already doing an outstanding job given they are getting insulted, provoked, annoyed, shittalked, memed, tricked, complained, criticised and, the most important thing, not paid, every day.

The actual issue is admin retention, which is abysmal.

It usually takes a few weeks or months until an admin realize he's sacrificing his own time for nothing, just so others can have fun, with the only actual reward being free insults for not being fast enough or making a mistake. When that happens, there's actually very little that do stick around.

I am sorry @"Sombra Hookier" , i am not trying to be rude, but you are forcing me to ignore you on the forums, since you know nothing about the situation here, and i keep telling you to mind your own business but you insist to become someone rude who put his nose in subjects that he knows nothing about it's dimensions or serial of incidents.

Forgive me, i passed my childhood phase long time ago, and i am not willing to go back into pointless arguments
You are Ignored on forums.

The Admin Feedback Thread isn't the place for oxymorons.

It's sad to see that some admins are facing all these troubles from some trouble makers. I am not one of those by the way and i am not willing to be one of those in the future too. I am not accusing admins of being not fast enough, i only wanted to ask about a simple ETA range of time.... that's not hard

But answering vague to others, because there is some kind of failure of voting because some admins are not around, should not be the option used by any admin, because simply and i am not trying to be harsh. If they can't do it, then step down for others who can.



RE: Admin Feedback Thread - Sombs - 01-12-2017

There aren't that many others, though. As if it was that easy.


RE: Admin Feedback Thread - Alley - 01-12-2017

Funnily enough, this bogged down administrative system is the result of years of crying from prominent ex/not-ex community members about bias. Everything is submitted to vote and is now strictly about getting the majority of votes or not to pass. Tough luck for getting requests through if several admins vanish at a time, because that just create an even bigger mess until they're officially declared away and removed from the voting script.
