Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
I think pushing the blame entirely onto one group of people is the wrong way to go about this hi19.

Not trying to call you out or anything on it, I think this could be a learning curve for Staff and users alike. The problem doesn't fall into hands of one person or group on this website. Last edited by gold stinger; 04-5-2015 at 03:13 PM.. |

But for god sake don't just start out with a blanket statement like "all staff members need to be kicked" because that's the shit I'm referring to with those two posts.

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
For now I'll just say that I believe the best solution is to be a team about it. Pointing blame in either direction is only going to cause more angst. Rather than figuring out what has happened, let's just fix it?

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
<3 staff. I am among the majority of people that don't say much but really appreciate the work done.
@Thread: Lets not over-complicate negative situations that try to explain stuff that doesn't warrant attention. This only perpetuates perceptions of problems that are imaginary in the first place. |

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
if this is referring to my post...
Okay then. Zenith made a sort of apology thread which may have not been worded in the best way. Instead of it being taken as it was meant to be taken, staff bash him over skype. Because clearly, staff was 'provoked' by an apology thread. One party can't complain about respect if they also do not give respect. This works for both sides. Saying that not being respected as staff is a slap in the face and blaming it on the users is both false (as shown by staff not respecting users as well through the skype bashing) and a bit immature i think. |

Read it, appreciated it for its intent, if not its execution, didn't reply. That thread was not the issue I am talking about.

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting

I am apologizing for several reasons; mainly the reasons behind the ATTN: FFRevolution thread. I was upset, as a user of FFR and ex-member of the Event Staff, seeing how I was dishonorably discharged from the team for revealing an image (to profile chat) for the Scavenger Hunt back in October 2014 and for being Inactive too frequently to contribute much to the team. I agree that I should've been removed for all of those reasons and I hold no personal hatred to them as a team and as separate individuals. The emotions that drove the ATTN thread was due to hearing that more and more staff members were inactive and nothing was being done within the teams and that honestly drove me mad. The thread came off as an attack towards staff for inactivity along with a few other reasons, but I am trying my hardest to apologize right now because the way I worded everything was wrong in every way and made me seem like I have no idea what I'm talking about and why am I even speaking about it. 2) I feel as though we as a community need to have a lot more open discussions in a diplomatic way to not only learn about what the discussions/topics are about but also to move forward as FFR. I apologize for all hateful and or discriminating things that I have said about staff, to others about staff, or to others in general. 3) It is entirely true about what is said here. It's natural for behind door talking to occur, but it shouldn't affect the way FFR progresses. I think it is safe to say that we all hold FFR to heart because it's where some of us grew up. Also what Zageron said, we should really be working as a team to improve and move on with FFR. 4) If Staff is also willing to be more open and optimistic as well as not jumping to "That guy is an asshat or a shitlord or a dick or an asshole or whatever". I am coming out and apologizing legitly and not trying to cause anything to further cause this problem to BE a problem. All I want is to move on from here on out. 5) I also cannot stress this part the most besides the beginning paragraph. I don't employ that we keep personal hatreds towards each other as it keeps showing itself and cause a problem within the community and within staff. This is my apology to FFR in its entirety; community and staff. I do not plan nor have the desire to keep trying to start worthless fights when people when in absolute honesty I want to keep moving forward with FFR. We all have a say in this community as well as Staff having a lot of say because they are the ones who actually implement it into the site and game than creating the idea for what happens. I seriously do not want any more personal hatreds because I'm getting sick of ruining all of our names and our beliefs by keep posting aggressive posts rather than offering up constructive thoughts and being optimistic. This is my only post in the thread, and I will not be posting again. I am absolutely sorry everyone and to anyone who reads this. I thank any and all Staff Members for everything you have contributed so far. The hard work isn't unnoticed; even if it seems like the bad qualities that staff has is being shown to the public. We as a community need the sense of improvement in recent times for not only one person but for EVERY person. Happy Easter Everyone!

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
Though, My post is a valid counterargument of your implying that all negative conflicts between staff and userbase are because of the userbase, no matter what specific thread you are referring to.

I'm not blaming all users, far from it. It's the small subset who seem to think that constantly saying "the staff is a joke" is not something that is hurting real people. And honestly I need to be careful with absolutes, the staff fuck up all the time and I'm sure there are instances where the staff has started shit without provocation. But at least as far as the recent issues this year, from my perspective, have a rather one-sided source.

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
A concise and sweet way to put this is "be a part of the resolution, not the problem." It's not the necessarily criticism itself that could cause problems, but rather how the criticism is presented. If all that happens is a blasting at someone, there isn't any effort displayed towards resolving the issues with that person.
The manager in my first co-op experience has dealt with plenty of people who literally just yelled at him in his face and he had to keep his cool. That's what made him a good manager: leave the emotion out and see what can be done. I underline the last part because it puts emphasis on a course of action. It's not enough to mention a problem -- a direction needs to be given. Anyone can take two seconds to thoughtlessly post "Staff Sucks" without any explanation as to what can be improved. Even then, it's always better to word things in a way that don't make the other side get on the defensive. Show that you actually want improvement instead of resorting to bashing. |

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
nonetheless it's still blaming the userbase rather than considering that we're all at fault here. Sure there has been a lot of attack on staff as of late but there's also been a lot of whistle-blowing at the same time.

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
My only complaints were combo scoring and that's fixed so I will harass the staff only about multiplayer from here on!

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
Mind if I repost some stuff from Zenith's thread?
I have seen some talking in the actual thread by Dossar about this being a decent idea, but other than that, no one else really addressed this or noticed this stuff, beyond some talk for outgoing support to try and get Fission on the development team. Has there been any real consideration to these ideas, or is this the first time noticing it? Considered I might as well bring this up being a bit off-topic considering staff is currently viewing this thread Last edited by gold stinger; 04-5-2015 at 05:02 PM.. |

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
Quick Reminder, I did leave staff around a month ago, and only act as an assistant when prawnskunk has trouble with something on the server. I no longer have and responsibility in terms of a staff/administrator.
I finished up my last active project for the site when I finished the combo -> raw scoring switch. Last edited by Velocity; 04-5-2015 at 05:11 PM.. |

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
welp I'm no longer working for the FFR TCG
It was a pleasure opening packs for you guys. Still would like to apply for something else though considering that was my main past-time. Real talk though rushyrulz, all this is doing is creating an even bigger divide between the userbase & FFR Staff. You acknowledged it, not me. Last edited by gold stinger; 04-5-2015 at 05:34 PM.. |

Re: Attention Staff & Users: Please Stop Fighting
stop fucking leaking our private skype messages, Jesus H. Christ.
@Zenith: Now that's an apology. I felt that this time it was sincere and I apologize for the way I responded to you, both in public and in private.
