I've been on this site a little over 2 years now, actually about 2.5 years and now I am really starting to see the lack of quality provided by the staff of RPG. I used to be a staff member here, as a mentor, designer, AND a Moderator, so I know how a lot of things run behind the scenes, despite some recent changes in policy. I've been a pretty active member here for my time on the site, and have accumulated a good amount of friends and acquaintances, as well minor enemies.

I am disappointed to see that the quality of RP has supposedly gone down and the staff members (and members, I guess) are putting in their best effort to help the site grow into a better writing community that benefits ALL members of the site. Which, there's absolutely no problem witih that. However, I don't think it's okay to flat out cut off registration and bring back members that were banned FOR A REASON so that we can "have quality roleplayers" to "help teach the community." But, whatever - if that's their idea of "helping the community," then so be it.

Now, I've been on the site long enough to experience a great deal of changes in people and the site itself. For my current time here, it's been pretty rough, as a regular member now dealing with all the changes and yada yada. However, one thing I DO NOT think should be allowed is STAFF MEMBERS flat out ignoring users for the sake of not wanting to deal with a situation. Yeah, I said it. And I said it publicly. I've already gone to TWO staff members about my problem, both of them admins [which I won't name], and I've gotten NO feedback.

Let's put my current situation into perspective:
The site got redesigned for a Christmasy theme. All the while it's cute and what-not, the snowflakes are laggy as hell...I complained about this in chat and OPENLY SAID exactly this: "The snowflakes are tacky. Tacky people do tacky things." And I was automatically kicked for saying that. Uhm... Since when do staff members kick people without a warning first? AND THEN...It seems like I was IP banned from the chat, because I can't even get on The Multiverse on ANY of my two names here. Actually, three now because I created another alt to see if it would let me do it that way.

This is getting ridiculous. I've already asked a staff member to provide me with the information regarding this unfair ban and they've read the message, but I've received no reply.

I don't care if I get banned for posting this. Really, I don't. I don't give a fuck if I get kicked off, IP banned from every single server I've ever signed on from. I'm sick of being a REGULAR member of the community, and being FLAT OUT IGNORED. You people claim you don't play favorites? LOL YEAH, OKAY.

Peace out. :)

Without discussing the explicit nature of the sanctions put against a user, something which is flagrantly against RPG policy, I cannot provide a thorough reply to this thread.

However, since (probably in between the time of writing and now) one of the admin team has at this point replied to your questions in full, I don't think I need to as you already have all of the information you need.

I apologise if you feel as though in the past you have been ignored by staff members, but all actions we take we take for a reason.

I'm in a hurry now, and if you have any furhter questions I will respond later.

I agree. RPG has been a bit laggy for me ever since the Christmas theme thing came about. And I have nothing against the whole winter theme thing, but if it's making RPG laggy I'm not a fan :v

I'd just like to remind everyone that you have the ability to disable the snow at the top of every page.



Additionally, clearing your cache may eliminate the lag problems experienced with the snow.
