I get that the whole "apology thread" got a bit too heated, but right now I feel like @roswell and
admin (sand) are basically preventing us from criticizing them. Just because the OTD thing was supposedly explained doesn't fix these current issues. OTD is closed for however long, which is still a mess, and now all of the threads criticizing the way things are being run here are being locked. And no, I'm not just going to PM, because I feel as if the whole community should be able to comment on this.
I know I'm going to get heat for this. I know I'm going to be told to calm down. But I feel the need to say this.
The admins of this site need to step up and start taking responsibility. Adding new features and talking to people is nice, but it doesn't mean squat if the rules aren't enforced. Both @roswell and
admin (sand) should have done more to prevent the whole OTD disaster. Members were voicing their concerns about it, and yet they were just shrugged off. I was told by roswell that being more vigilant with OTD was "too much work". Because of that, we now have pissed off members and a shut-down OTD.
Sandclaw should not need to apologize for ros and tomo's mistakes. Half of the mods on this site I rarely ever see doing things except chatting, and tomo only shows up when we interrupt his life. Yes, we should try and be more calm in OTD, but at the same time Tomo can't throw the blame on all of us when he should have done more. I've barely seen him on in the past month. He's supposed to be the owner of this site. I may not be particularly happy with roswell right now, but at least they come on and put in effort.
Tomo cannot just expect us to solve everything. He needs to step up and take responsibility as the owner of this site. Clearly there are problems, and clearly they need to be dealt with. Shutting down OTD and yelling at us for interrupting his life is not solving anything, nor is disappearing for days it. If he's really that busy, then he should take responsibility and transfer ownership to roswell or someone else.
End of rant. This will probably get locked or deleted, but that will only further my point that the admins of this site can't take criticism.
