Hello everyone, I'm presenting this to you all out of my own free will, and without the consent of the rest of the staff.
Lately things around here seem to have gotten a little out of control, what with our rules and enforcements being all over the place. Surely this is nothing new, but I think its been especially bad in the past week or so.
So I'm bringing this up for everyone to see because I get the feeling I'm not the only one who's noticed it, but that I'm the only one really willing to speak up about it.
Personally as a staff member I have been feeling somewhat conflicted lately, and have considered stepping down. My reasoning for this is because right now I feel my own views don't match up with the views of the overall administration.
The rules we have in place right now are honestly very vague and debatable, and rarely are they enforced. I am not trying to say that I have not been one of the few to contribute to the problem, because I most certainly am, but I think we are in need of change here and fast. I think this site will meet the same fate that all of the beyblade sites before it have if we don't do something to correct the issue.
So having said that, I'm leaving it up to you guys. Brad has said that he wants this forum to be run as a democracy where the users have a say in every major decision, so here's your chance. I've tried speaking with Brad personally about this and made little to no headway, so I figure if he won't listen to one of the forum's more active members, perhaps he'll listen to all of us.
What do you think? What are the problems? What do we need to do to change them? How can we do a better job as an administrative team? Don't exclude me from any of this, I know I have had my fair share of questionable behavior. I want to help make this site a desirable place for people to come to and that can't happen without everyone else.
So have at it.
