I will not write a book about this. I just think I need to correct a few points. First off, pointing out what a mod is doing wrong is NOT automatically baiting. Baiting is way too often used as a buzzword to justify ignoring criticism. Moderators are supposed to be mature, responsible and be...
Uhm.... yeah... that's EXACTLY what I said, more or less. An actual poll can't do that. But a consensus discussion does. Though inactive people could still talk if they wanted.
I want to state for the record that I agree in princple with this. However I have to point out that the HK's ability...
No, I doubt it was. This particular poll's problems were: the incredibly short time it was open, the very low participation, and the limiting of options. Notably the compact badge system we're playing with, which completely upturns the original idea here because this system we're toying with...
I understand you care a lot about getting your way on this. However, not liking my explanation does not equal refusal to elaborate. So please stop strawmanning me to do... exactly what you're accusing me of. I gave you explanations. Many of the people who voted in the previous knights poll were...
Abridged version of what I Skype messaged you:
Polls are very easily abused. It's way too easy to ask a buddy who doesn't have the slightest idea what's going on to vote on your side. Which... has undeniably happened in at least some of the recent polls. And they don't tell you anything useful...
OR... OR... we do it by having an actual discussion an reaching some kind of consensus like I've been suggesting for our various issues for a while now. Unlike polls, a consensus actually requires knowledge of what's going on and it can't be as easily manipulated. Polls lack the ability to...
No... that is not the same thing. Awards are entirely different. These ranks are NOT awards. They're responsibilities. It's not even in the same realm. The only people who seem to think it's award are people who are not part of it. Those that are in them don't think of it that way. But anyway...
See... you're not an HK. So.... you wouldn't be able to accurately say what happens in it and what it does and does not do. You have a right to your opinon of course. But you're not in a position to actually have accurate, reliable information. I can tell you that the HKs are supposed to...
It's not about feeling better. It's about the truth. And what is ethical. You can have your opinons. But I repeat, NOT liking the knights, or finding their existence to be offensive to you, is not a valid justification. And being offended does not entitle anyone to get their way. I have said it...
I respect your rights to have those opinions. But they ARE misinformed. I'm sorry, that's all there is too it. No one has to "respect" anyone's opinons. They have to respect their right to have them. And no one is saying that they can't. But YOU are not respecting our right to have opinions by...
I'm sorry, but... it's hard for people to draw any other impression when you constantly insist these ranks MUST die. You keep going on about it and you brought it up on this thread where it wasn't the issue.
This is your opinion, not a fact. They both exist for a reason. Why do you care so...
