My Opinion

[Strom]

I think most everyone has the same general problem with the current system, and according to storm, members of the previous admin team left because of this.. I'm not going to say names, but too many admins are being promoted to admin, not because of FL experience with the server and with the players..But they're being promoted because they have some relationship with another admin, or some sort of background un-related to FL, and one admin likes them and decides to promote them for trial. The issue with all of this is the fact that there is, or there could be unfair admin promotions and the players of FL can't control one bit of the process, so we dont know if their being promoted unfairly! All we can do is look at it from an outside prospective, and when we see a new admin with 100 hours, it looks a bit suspect. Refering to the Storm situation, he said that sometimes the other admins don't even have a say on the promotion, thus leading to some of the old admin team members leaving. If it's happening, it's not fair for anyone, it's not fair for the players, it's not fair to the community, and in some cases, it's not fair to other admins. I'm not saying that it is, but this system could possibly be corrupt, looking in from the outside. But, I do have faith that the admins will deal with the possible issues in this system, I believe their working on the issues currently.

The mass-leave was because of improper votes and promotions without a full majority vote or even allowing the whole team to have a say or debate the matter. I'm not trying to jibe soul here by the way, at the time we were understaffed as a lot of the team had issues preventing them from getting on the server. Forcing Soul to hire new staff as quickly as he could.

I'm not sure if this is still happening or not but I doubt it as it was a long time ago and Nudel is also a Co-Owner now.
