I don't think we should straight up ban the staff from giving their opinions on matters that are outside what their role covers. It's feedback after all. But I've been starting to see that happen more and more in the staff discord and yeah we should slow down on that probably. That being said I can't say I can agree with both examples you gave for this.
Like in the case of Vitiman I wouldn't say that it wasn't completely unrelated to what his role covered. The suggestions forum is moderated by the Site Developers after all, so it makes sense for him to get a say in matters involving there. But even then, he presented it as a suggestion to the rest of the staff. He didn't do that on his own, we gave him the go. In hindsight maybe we shouldn't have let him post the actual rule since that is outside what his role covers, but who is posting the rule doesn't really much difference does it?
As for Vinny, like come on. Just let him go. I don't get what's the obsession you guys have with hating Vinny. The dude left his Admin position and he very rarely pops up to give his opinion on matters and you guys are even complaining about that?
EDIT: Ok I should clarify my last point with Vinny, ever since he left his admin position he had little to no influence in admin related matters. His way of running MFGG is very different than ours anyway, so if he did have constant input in staff members we wouldn't be able to get anything done. No offense to Vinny btw, this is just what happens.
