Woah, someone actually speaks out on this. Guess i'll give my thoughts.

Admins don't enforce the rules they make. An example would be the rule Para made on offensive jokes (which probably skyrocketed where we are today). Para mentions how offensive jokes are 3 week bans. Yet when Pikells and Time were banned for this reason, they got 1 month bans.Not to mention, people have been making these jokes and not getting warnings or punishments for them. I'm personally against this rule, but people still break them and get away. A user which I won't mention makes a joke on Hitler twice, yet nobody calls him out on it. And according to a user which I wont name, an admin has made 9/11 jokes after this rule was placed. So even after Para got angry in the post he made ranting about these offensive jokes, people who make them still get away with them. Either from bias, or something else.

Now, my ban. Hopefully people wont be like "LOL QUANTS JUST MAD BECAUSE HE GOT BANNED" and listen to what i have to say. Personally, I found my ban unfair. According to the one who banned me, i was banned for Harassment and Offensive Jokes. Now, I understand these as perfectly good reasons for a ban, but I still have 2 problems with this. One, i feel like 3 months was a little too much, not much there to talk about. And second, I was banned for something everyone else had done. I found it very fishy that me, Pikells, and Time were banned for offensive jokes without warning, while everyone else who've done them were given a pass, feeling like bias against us 3. I was also banned for harassment, which was probably against what I've done to Hipper and Maxevil (mostly the former). I've done of really rude stuff to these two. I've legitimately told Hipper to stop writing battles once (which was old cringy me, but me regardless so I still take the blame for saying that), and made fun of Max's "Get Pete DB Popularity" thing, by requesting him absurd opponents for Pete, and making fun of him when he took it legitimately, which I am also ashamed of. But once again, how come all the others who've riddiculed and made fun of Hipper and Maxevil get a pass? I once again feel like this might have been an act of bias. So yeah that's my thoughts on my ban.

Now onto deciding admins. I used to think it's a great idea to do a vote on what people become chat mods or admins, but now i think it's an absolutely terrible idea. The popular people are gonna get the choices for chat mod and admin, and sometimes those popular people are bad at the job, and i'm a victim of this, usually just voting for the popular person. But now, I think we need people who are actually up for the job. People who'll actually enfore the rules. Most admins and chat mods don't even come on that much. Not saying their bad, in fact these mods and admins are good at their job, they just dont come on often. I like the choices of Rex, Trashta, and Big being chat mods because they're all active on chat for most of the day, one less than the other 2, but still active. I'll try to take chat mod training myself, but I still agree with your choices.

It's gonna take a more than the ones in charge to make this place as great as it was, so it's nice you spoke out on this, Ari.
