I just want to hear an actual solution as to how problems with transparency are going to be solved in the first place. I have no issues with you Synth, and honestly, thank you for bringing yourself in here and thank you additionally for keeping this place alive when you don't need to.

...however, I'm not particularly impressed with Zageron's job personally and I have no problem calling him out on that, as someone who was reasonably high up on the staff chain. His response earlier in this thread stating that "he tried" to do things is far from satisfying, considering that while I was on staff handling both game management and events management and almost never heard from him. As mentioned earlier, the area where everyone was supposed to communicate, Slack, fell empty and inactive. A member of the dev team felt like he resonated with parts of my points that I extremely aggressively pointed out, all leading back towards the same thing: a lack of transparency. Zageron, I'm sorry if this comes to you as a shock, but from what I can see, and obviously from what other users can see considering threads like this have come up in the past and only then did you make an appearance to handle damage control: people are not happy.

This isn't intended to be narcissistic at all, but for christ's sake: look at the user that is drilling you right now. I have music in game, I have content in game, I've hosted numerous user tournaments, two official tournaments, various events, judged simfiles -- hell, the only parts of the site that I have not seen are the ones that are being chastised as being closed off in the first place. Look at the previous threads that have been made about this same problem that I came in and tried to drill into everyone in this thread, and other users in previous threads. What is going to be done to fix things? Considering that users have made these threads of concern in the past, I think it's safe to say that even users are desperate at this point and want to find ways to bring life back into the site.

I apologize if I continue to be brash and seem like I'm deranged, but when a 10+ year user who was on a bunch of areas of staff has to leave because of frustration with the lack of communication, responsibility, and accountability for issues, there's something that needs to be looked at.
