Just one thing I really think needs to be said is that, yes, we are quick to reject a lot of ideas and so forth, but more often than not we're quick to come to a conclusion because either we've already discussed it beforehand with the members of EoFF or else because we've already discussed it in Staff - sometimes more than once, sometimes very recently. It's quite common for these things to be raised as issues to us before threads are even made in Feedback. For example, this thread stems from Raistlin's LJ entry. I could see that LJ entry, as could a few othe staffers. So we looked into it within Staff. Other people sometimes raise concerns about certain members or Staff, and we look into these things without even being told to.
Right now, there are 1,698 threads in Staff - 60 threads since the start of February alone. We're constantly checking ourselves, coming up with ideas that we end up rejecting, overlooking the rules and deciding on the fate of various members. So it's fairly rare that we have Feedback threads about things we haven't already discussed. It's not that we don't consider your ideas - we do - it's just that we've already talked about it and come to a conclusion. This is what we're put into the job to do - not just moderating but making the laws we will have to enforce. If we've recently come to a decision in Staff and then a thread is made about the issue we concluded on, then we'll be quick to say yes or no.
Also, I don't know who Bleys talks to when he has an issue with a Staffer, but I know a fair few people talk to me about stuff like that and I always make sure I get that looked into. =]
