I think I'll be a smartass and make a post to point all the "Anti-Staff" on the right track (it should be locked, I think somewhere we said we weren't going to have a Staff Feedback thread).
All you members out there that are so quick to criticize the Staff should SCREW OFF! (This is not just going to Lance, it goes to everyone out there)
Do you even know what you're criticizing? To me the only ones that have the right to criticize the Staff are X-Staff members, because they know what we do around PC.
"I Modded a forum before so I know what goes on", oh well whop-de-do. I Modded like 30 forums before (a few quite big), does that mean I can run off to SPPF and tell them how to run their Staff or how many Mods they should have? Should I go there and say "Hey Joe, I want you to get rid of this Mod, that Mod, the one over here, that S-Mod and that Admin there because I never see them on", what do you think would happen? I'd get banned or laughed at. You members really don't know what you're talking about when it deals with Staff (I don't give a flip about how much experience you've had at other forums. Show me a large forum where it has the same rules, same forums, same number of Mods etc as PC. You won't find it because no two forums are a like). Any good Staff member would know you don't run a forum by what other forums has/does.
And again getting back to the ones that criticize the Staff. You guys are so quick to jump the gun on bad things the Staff does. "OMG That Staff member posted a pointless post | Look he's flaming | Look she censor bypassed", you guys never seen the good the Staff does. You don't see the time and work they put into PC, you don't see them locking or moving a thread, you don't see them deal with them porn spammers, you don't see them deal with them spammers. That's what you should be looking at, you should be looking at the good they do around PC. I know this is the "Staff Feedback Thread" but like all the others it would have to turned into a "I just want to put down the Staff" thread. And that's what pisses me off. You'll have members going around looking for the bad and putting time looking up bad stuff the Staff does. And that's a load of BS! You guys should be thanking the work the Staff does. If it weren't for us PC would be a dump load of crap for posts. I got a PM a week or so ago from Freenaturearts thanking for my work on PC (and no, I don't want to see every n00b that reads this PMing trying to kiss up to me. Freenaturearts meant what she said, I don't want to see a bunch of n00b PMs in my inbox). And that PM made me feel good, I get PMs like that once in a blue moon. Most of the time it's complaining about something or someone on PC or whating something. And it's sad to say I see more posts cutting down the Staff then ones thanking the Staff. I've been Staff on PC over 2 years and 4 months (Oct 26th or something like that was 4 months) and that's a hell of a lot longer then most of you been members. And in all my time on PC I've gotten less PMs thanking me then the number of posts a n00b makes in a week. I am not looking for thanks for the work I do on PC, I am not looking for a bunch of friends just because I'm Staff. It's just I can't stand someone that will cut down the Staff for no reason.
So before anyone jumps the gun and wants to criticize what we do (for no reason) then you need to shut up and be on you way to whatever you were doing on PC. Because I get really annoyed (more like pissed) when posts putting down Staff are made, or when stupid reports comes in, or when it comes to n00bs. I can't stand n00bs, you can be here 5 years and still be a n00b. I am not going to change my ways for Lance, Jorge, D, Kylie, Steve or anyone on PC. If I'm pissed by something someone does then I'm going to be pissed. And there's only one person that can change that, and that's me. So untill that time comes (if it comes), I'm going to be ticked off by Anti-Staff posts.
We do not have too many Mods around PC. We got 15,250 members on PC, so what if 26 of them are Mods.
Admins: AZ got married not all that long ago. Mewthree is on enough. pokesph is Steve (see what I mean when I say members don't know what goes on with the Staff?). Zappy is in Japan. And we (Staff Admins) don't only do our work in the Admin CP. Bobby is on PC a good bit. Miyu is also on PC, but she has lots of IRL stuff going on right now. David (Yukito) is on a heck of a lot more then you.
And before anyone goes "That's not right, I never see them on", I can bet you that you won't find 20 people that's more active on PC then me.
Call it flaming or whatever you want. Someone has to stand up for the Staff, because it's like most members on PC will put down the Staff.
