Unban Stir & Lighten Up & Appreciate the Community More

[Evil Yoshi Toes]

I agree with what Dustin said in regard to the way Stir approaches “feedback.” There are plenty of members who provide feedback in a way that's actually productive. A member being confrontational and yelling at staff and blatantly disobeying the rules because he thinks he knows better is not a going to do any good for the community. Also, coming back from a ban and making a list like that especially when he is far from friends with the people listed is really not in good taste.

But in regard to the length and severity of the punishment, I have been pretty vocally against it on the discord feedback channel despite having been the person who did carried it out. That's why I think non-modding staff should not be partaking in moderation decisions because that played a big part in changing the way I handled it for what I consider to be the worse. I'm frustrated with myself for caving and doing something I didn't really support just because of what other people who weren't even mods were saying, and I'm frustrated with the way the staff discord is organized.

I don't think the staff here generally treats the community poorly though. I know you were involved in one pretty frustrating event just about a week ago. That was also an issue where a non-mod was acting as a mod, which I'm very against and I understand your frustration with your suggestions being silenced. Of the actual mod staff, though, I haven't felt that any of them are opposed to discussion and feedback, so long as it is presented in a way that is not confrontational or provoking other members. A lot of feedback happens on the discord too, much of which effects the community both here and there.
