' Wrote:I wrote that sentence to say, using irony: dear admins, in order to help yourselves, check yourselves if you arent expecting people to behave in a different way than you would behave yourself. In other words... use common sense. Because many times, I have seen admins behave exactly the way they asked other people not to behave.
Admins do use common sense - I would like to say, a good majority of the time. Being an admin, and thus being pricy to the discussions we have, I would say that i can't recall a whole lot of anything else but common sense.
How can we be helped?
Several things spring to mind:
1) Stop rules lawyering in game - Just... stop.
2) Try to be a little more respectful, of everyone, respect begets respect.
3) Read the rules.
4) Speak English.
5) If you are going to post a sanction, please do so with evidence.
6) Do not use the Admins as a referee in personal differences.
7) Stop wasting time on the forums and go in game.
8) Don't open threads on the forums that are for the purpose of trial/flame only.
9) Understand and accept that this is not a democracy, this is not a place governed by a constitution and a court of law - We will sometimes make decisions that are unpopular and seem to fly in the face of a "majority"- and understand that we do so because we believe its in the best interests of the server. Understand also, that we can change our minds, admit fault and undo a decision that turns out to be a bad one.
10) Also understand, we are human - we do this because we love the place, and we don't get paid.
