I just want to say that anyone who posts "XXX, you're acting like a dick", this is extremely unconstructive feedback. You need to provide specific examples, and don't use language like "you're being a dick". Say like "XXX, in this post here: (link provided), I think you're being too harsh". If you expect professionalism, learn to exercise it yourself (not you personally, just whoever posts dumb feedback like "you're being a dick")
So tell me how is being called a dick constructive, how do i learn from that when I've not changed at all? I am who i've always been.
why should I do this for someone whos called me a dick? I'm not interested. Feedback should be constructive, or disregarded completely.
'Dick' is a general description for an overall attitude, no exact definition no example.
If someone tells me i'm being a dick i know to change my attitude, obviously i'm being rude or obnoxious, regardless, i need to change how i approach people. I would think that part of being a moderator you should be aware of your actions and know when things are inappropriate.
To clarify, from what i've seen your general attitude toward things has been a bit inappropriate, the way you've handled yourself to x339 and the cookiezzz situation (general responses to the thread).
Whether you're being a 'dick' to just x339 or the entire community you're seen as inappropriate to the majority. You're suppose to be setting an example, dismissing others and making negative comments towards just one person gives the rest of the community the justice of doing it to other people.
If you're allowed to talk down to members, other members can to their equals.
The feedback i've given towards n4n0 being more involved in the community and treating people with the same respect as he's given from others is a prime example of this.
tl;dr - I feel as if your overall attitude towards everyone is a bit inappropriate for someone, especially someone with the status you hold.
Again, why should I pursue something after they are rude to me?
What does anyone owe to you after the way you approach them?
No it's not... you don't see FireZ doing that every time someone insults him. Why should Karl (or anyone for that matter) care if someone calls him a dick? It doesn't fucking matter, ignore it.
Generally the people FireZ directs his insults towards are disputers and people trying to be pardoned.
Regardless of who it is towards; (173 members and 319 guests)
You can google the change of activity within the site. If you look, it's down a lot. Perhaps this is because of the attitude certain staff have towards the population.
Mods nor admins are holy and in no way are better then the average user, some mods display this by treating everyone as an equal; n4n0, FireZ, Sypherz, -Ryan. Others are dismissive and quick to talk down to the average user, showing them their dominance. It's unacceptable and possibly one of the reasons in lack of activity.
