Yes. I know it seems like to you guys that they are totally ignoring us and treating us bad, and believe me, they are.
But I bet you they've never seen a bunch of users from a site come on to ask them to fix one of their rules. I can tell by the way Mr. Mario acted that he really had no idea what to do with us, because likely he's never seen it before. ^^
Most users are Admins, usually the sole admin of their site. They get online, ask a question "How do I post?" and then get a simple response and sent on their way. A lot of the admins are frankly, idiots.
So they treated us the same way, not realizing that we're not your average buffoons. ^^ We responded by posting 45 posts or more and making 4 threads all to address our one issue. They couldn't just threaten one of us with a ban, since it wasn't one person but many members of one site working together for the goal. And thanks guys for helping me, it was really nice.
Warms my heart to know you all cared :3
With one guy they can easily just say "Wait 6 months get over it" but when you're getting PM's from the users like crazy and threads are going up saying fix your stupid rule, that's totally different. ^^
I know, because I used to control PF like this. ^_^ Whenever he initiated a just plain stupid rule, or when he tried to disqualify a bunch of our Chuunin Exam members that were totally legit, I had as many members as I could PM him. One person saying "Fix this" and you ignore em. Get 12 PM's saying "Fix this" then it's totally different.
Same thing by virtue of these threads. ^^
They will do one of two things, well, they have three options:
Ignore it. If they do that, they'd be even dumber then I thought.
Release Punishment and get angry at us. This, sadly, is very possible. Admins and moderators are very, very power hungry. They see themselves as the center of the website. This is why I won't hire mods, or at least not as long as I can help it, to run WOTN. ^^ I might hire managers or Admins, but never mods. They always, always end up treating the users like crap. (Also, why Way Of The Ninja doesn't suck). The sad reality is outside of WOTN, that's what your average Mod/Admin is like.
OR they can do what I am hoping they will do. That is, they will listen to the clear voice of the people and give in. This depends on how many of us are active at protesting their stupid rules and the way they treated us. We've had a loooot of you guys respond, and you guys really fought for me. ^^ They noticed. Believe me. As an Admin for 3 years, I can tell what other Admins think. And those guys were thinking, "What the Frick is happening here?!?"
And at the end of the day, not sending a message to them won't help at all either. But sending one has a high chance of helping. There's really not a downside.
