Guest barackobama Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I'm going to re-write this; So, today I log on to the forums, and to my amazement, you have all managed to find something else to moan about, this time the regular system. When will it ever stop, I'm now sick and tired of all our projects being slagged off, and dismissed, because you don't like change, everyone works hard towards this community, and you're a big part of it, and what changes happen, is because of you all. We thought the regular system would be great for the community, and we we're right, it's been fantastic so far, it's boosted our numbers, and we are maxing out on vent, servers, etc. It upsets me a lot, to know that every time we make a change, most of you have to moan about it, not just the regular system, but pretty much everything. Do you not appreciate what we do for this community, what you do for it? You all help run this community, from the players up to the Board of directors, we all play our part. The changes made to this site are for the best, otherwise we would not change the things are run, i respect everyone's point of view, but it's just getting out of hand, we (BD's, TA, MA' WA, AO's, SA's) work very hard for this community... It's not just the players who moan, the Honorable gamers, the server administrates, and rarely the AO's do... I find it pathetic that you guys can just down-grade all our hard work, because you don't like change? I don't know if I speak for all the higher-ups, but I certainly speak out of my heart, please please try to respect the changes, and give them a chance, don't start slagging things off, without giving it some time. I and all the other higher-ups have worked very hard for this community, investing our money in to it, and our time.. we ask you just to give us time to improve things, time for change. 22 Edited February 25, 2009 by GarfieldH Link to comment

I credit the majority of our recent success to the hard work you have put into SteamGamers, and hope that it does not diminish. I agree, people are over-reacting to nearly everything that gets posted, and are in-turn taking things to a QQ level, when they're either for the best, for our own benefit, etc. Come on guys. Let's all take a look at SG, and try to make it a better place together. Edit: Also guys, do ANY of you realize how much Garfield has been doing for the community the past month or so? Seriously, all of you grievers don't even take this into account before you start complaining. Think before you speak, and let's be a little bit more supportive. -Modgers 1 Edited February 25, 2009 by Modgers1 Link to comment
broncoty Posted February 25, 2009 Content Count: 1615 Joined: 03/03/07 Status: Offline Share Posted February 25, 2009 Here is my 2 cents DISCLAIMER: This my point of view from just reading the forums. I am not active in vent/game. First cent. When I was an EO I helped maintain around two or three servers and it was a bitch I cannot even fathom the workload you guys have with other things like appeals, moderating the forums etc. So I do have an understanding of the workload the higher ups have and the sacrifices they give to this community. I too have given hundreds of dollars to this community between admin payments and donations. Right now if this community needed donations to support another dedi or something I would donate without a second thought and I only play CSS about 2 hours a week. Second cent. When I am treated like a child I am going to act like one. Garfield your post above is similar to something someone might hear from their mother. When decisions are going to be made and threads locked without any input from the rest of the community. Yes people are going to feel like they are being treated like a child. Remember that a vast majority of this community is made up of teenagers who are struggling to define themselves as adults. My advice is treat the SA's and HG's like adults and they might stop bitching. And there might even be a chance to bitch at them instead. 4 Link to comment
Guest barackobama Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The reason i'm talking to them like kids, is because they keep acting like kids, they are all supposed to be "mature" as they keep saying.... Link to comment

Its just that we think that some of the things changed were wrong and don't work well. Link to comment
