Upper levels won't care though. This is not a democracy or "community based" server anymore. Its the same thing Tenshi's game turned into. "I like my friends and will only care for what they do or say."
Or even better "Most of the community has a problem with one person, but I'm going to act blind. Even when there is rule or legitimate code broken."
I don't understand how you can say that if you've read this topic. One member of the community had a problem and other members of the community also agreed with it. The upper levels, who apparently don't care, then discussed the problem and come to the conclusion of agreeing with the community and no longer allowing the mod. How on earth is this not a community based decision?
I can't speak for the rest of the admins but I am not friends with the majority of the staff team. I simply interact with them in order to try and keep the server in a healthy state, I don't ask them how their day was or what their favourite food is, I simply don't care. The image of admins sitting around a high table, stroking each other's egos and giving each other handjobs is completely and utterly wrong. So no, it's not like Tenshi's server.
I believe that this is simaliar to the "Lacerta (Jewhunter) Issue". In the context that he wasn't doing anything "wrong" but it made players feel unfair and mad. Although, nothing got done because he was a close friend and there was nothing anyone could say about it.
This situation is very different to what Lacerta was doing. Mia used a mod that was approved by Jonne, Lacerta abused his position as an admin in order to put himself at an advantage or others at a disadvantage. Also, I can assure you that Jonne and Mia are not close friends.
Where are all the admins and mods btw, is your only role to wait for ban appeals and happy birthday topics? You have voices, you have experience, you are mature people please join discussions, state your opinions, let us know what you think, otherwise this looks like a witchhunt. Jonne and Carg seem to be the only admins here
My personal opinion was discussed with Jonne and Nikola, it was then incorporated into Jonne's reply. I don't think there's any need to write my personal opinion if it has already been said in Jonne's official response to this situation.
We actually sent a letter to level 5s and Jonne about player's concerns and some suggestions on how to improve things signed by 60+ players, it was during the Popcorn thing and nothing came of it. If that wasn't taken seriously, what's the point.
I read the letter and read Jonne's response to every point made in that letter. I felt that every question was answered adequately and that it was actually taken quite seriously. The answers to your question not aligning to your expectations does not mean it was not taken seriously. I think you should also include that in those 60+ players, player's names were spelt incorrectly, some names were repeated and some players were added there without their consent, we don't want to be fooling the community. I think this speaks volumes about the quality of the letter.
If your goal now is to make Mia apologise for her actions, I wish you the best of luck with that.
