    Not quite. The stuff that I'm saying is moreso directed to other people in this topic, than Raistlin.
    Ok, just wanted to make sure. You can do better than him.

    The only reason they told you at all that Breine was given a favor was because you were complaining about the issue. I would have just told you "you don't need to know". Because you don't! I don't, they don't, WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW. They very well might have been giving other people the same equal consideration but again they don't need to tell you. Why do they need to be upfront about the final decisions on some of the members before the competition? You don't need to know what they think or how they feel or if they think your hair is just plain stupid!

    You can apply the same thing to going to class. If your teacher tells you, "you look like a slacker you will do horrible in my class so i'm kicking you out so you don't fail." Then you wont go and you'd be pissed! I keep trying to explain this thing to you but you don't seem to get it. In this case ignorance is bliss VERY MUCH SO.

    I just don't understand how submitting 900 reviews to the frontsite will make someone qualified to be a moderator. Or making 50 posts in 24 hours. For the former, have a site staff competition. For the latter, have an, heh, events committee competition or something.

    You can't just go back to make up ad hoc justifications for staff actions. Del just came out of nowhere with the Breine statement; I did not ask. He seemed to want to explain it to Breine more than anything.

    You can apply the same thing to going to class. If your teacher tells you, "you look like a slacker you will do horrible in my class so i'm kicking you out so you don't fail." Then you wont go and you'd be pissed! I keep trying to explain this thing to you but you don't seem to get it. In this case ignorance is bliss VERY MUCH SO.
    I really don't know where to begin with that analogy. If a teacher was going to fail me I certainly WOULD like that notice. "Ignorance is bliss" only if you simply accept whatever the staff does, no matter how inconsistent and favorable to certain people, as great. I certainly hope everyone doesn't think that way.

    That's actually a good point.

    Well almost nobody would sign up though because there aren't as many benefits as being a CK.

    With front site integration on the cards for VB4 knowing your way around the front site may just help, we'll also be finally rid of those pesky Cid's Engineers. *Is shot*

    generic trolling about how the staff can do no right.
    I tried to walk away. Really, I did. I played some FFXIII, did some work for the frontsite, watched some TV. Other things. But then I came back and saw the suggestion of turning every post in this thread into lyrics from Nothin' but a G Thang, which is clearly inferior to my suggestion of Thunderdome. Clearly there is a hidden agenda here, possibly due to the fact that you are staff and wish to cause only displeasure to us normal members with your filthy tictacs ... tactics? Tactics.

    It is now all too clear why my suggestion wasn't considered, and it is because you are a dirty fascist. This suggestion competition is getting more and more ridiculous. I am almost eager to see how your insane suggestion can even be topped.

    But why only your suggestion? Why wasn’t Thunderdome given a chance, instead of me being misled into taking part and trying hard for a perceived legitimate chance at something some of the posters might actually give a crap about. The staff is certainly not showing the regular members the respect and consideration that should be expected to anyone in a community. “Hey, demondude, sit this one out, I am going to change every post in this thread and completely ignore you, even though you had the better idea.”

    I suppose I’m making this post to ask, what purpose is this really supposed to serve? Is there really ANY purpose behind this suggestion except to embarrass every poster in this thread? If the staff has come to predetermined conclusions about certain favorite suggestions, is it ok to express otherwise?
