Unfortunately from my own experience all i can say is that i still stand by my statement which i made 3 years ago, there were players ingame that helped new players learn the game and in general were just nice to them,something i see being done a lot less by players these days..
I have been called a great many things in my time – that's discovery. This is the first time someone's implied though, that I wasn't nice on Discovery. But I get it, you want to blame people like me for the decline of the community. Absolving yourself of all blame despite the fact that you're the one who actually has power and authority here.
Well let me tell you, sir, that the server collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad administrative policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by bitter players. Before you lot, this community’s administration was about the server and forum rules, preventing cheating and scams, and our right to roleplay as individuals and as a community. Now, it's about everything we do, and more than that, it’s about your vision for the server.
And what is the reaction of the Discovery political class? Well the Admins, still think that the server is a success! Where you get this from, I don't know. Perhaps you're considering an alternative career as stand up comedians, once you've finally killed Disco.

I haven't been playing for years in omicrons, if your trying to imply there was "bias" in anything i've voted so far i'm afraid your out of luck..
You can dismiss my valid and legitimate criticism as insults if you want, but I'm a nationally ranked and very successful debater (see previous post). In the debate community, we call that "poor argumentation". I suppose it's hard to grasp the fineries of argumentation when you have trouble grasping the fineries of the medium through which the argument is taking place. It might be worth your while to invest in some better English training. I hear it's a remarkably useful language these days.
I'll address your very flawed defense of your bias in a moment.

How can you claim to not be biased when voting to
literally ban players when you don't really play in the Omicrons yourself? Since you don't, I must ask you what type of content do you enjoy if you're still here? I personally am afraid I won't like the answer you give to that question, if it's at all genuine that is.
Though I guess the biggest reason why you must've stopped playing in the Omicrons was because you were waiting for the opportunity to rid the region of folks like Lyth, who didn't contribute to the vision you must've had for the region. Am I right?
To answer
your question, it doesn't take an idiot, or even an active player (these days people like you can make it feel like those are one and the same when you're just going to ban players like Karst and Lyth who are active in a way that you don't like) to see that this administration does not reflect the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of ordinary players. It does nothing for roleplay or activity growth and widens further still the play-style polarization that continues to plague this community.
You want to know what type of content I enjoy? I don't believe you ask that question with any hint of validity, seeing as how you just demonstrated with your gross mishandling of the XTF event and the BHG sanctions that you don't care about the enjoyment of other players unless it fits into your vision for server content. But I'll tell you what people like me, and the vast majority of the community seeks.
We seek an amicable divorce from the Discovery administration and its replacement with a genuine ruleset which respects player autonomy, which is what the previous generation thought we’d get from these admins in the first place.
Once we've got an administration that decides it's wrong to violate player autonomy without justification, we can start looking at actually enjoying the game again.
