A word from our sponsor, Concerning recent events Options

[stargelman]

Some of you have undoubtedly noticed that there's been quite a bit of highly unusual commotion and drama around here lately. Things have happened, some other things have been utterly misunderstood and people have been blamed.

I was entirely clueless as to these happenings until I found a storm of PMs in my inbox that did more to confuse me than to give me any idea as to what was happening. It took a while to unfiddle it all, but I now have a relatively clear picture, at least concerning the what, not necessarily the why. I'm not going to go into details here because I do not intend to continue the drama in any way.

We debated over what to do with this. Some people feel hurt, others are confused and a lot of people are sad. Some decided to leave forever and never come back. I, nor any of my peers, can change that. It's their decision after all. I feel however that it is very much necessary to clear up a few very bad misconceptions.

• Moderators of chorrol.com are discussing amongst themselves actions to be taken in specific situations. No moderator acts alone on important issues. This is true for ALL of them.
• The moderators are not some kind of secret police that is sworn to make your life hell. They are trying to preserve this board because it and it's members are dear to them.
• You will probably never know all of the reasons why certain decisions are made. You can only believe us when we tell you that we try to do our very best to keep this community working.
• None of the moderators are lone gunmen that want to control your thoughts. I know, it should go without saying, but obviously some are unclear on this point.
• If you have an issue with one moderator, then bring it up with a different one. They will then discuss amongst themselves and come to a consensus. If you are unhappy with that decision then please contact an admin. Please do not bring it up in a public thread, because all that does is fan the flames and cause more work and problems for everyone involved.
• If you discuss an issue you're having with a moderator, please do it in a civil tone. Name-calling isn't going to help us see your point.
• The moderators are not very keen on using their power, despite what you may think.
• And finally, we're all just human.

Right now, I'm really sad because apparently, some of you prefer to think the very worst of your co-forumers when they're just trying to keep running a place you all care about.

I can only appeal to everyone's better nature: try a little harder to make this work.


I'm not going to add "Or ELSE" because there's really been enough drama for the next two years

So, good denizens of the people of Chorrol, what say you? Shall we try to make this work a little better?

I´m actually stumped I have really no idea what has happened but I´d like to say that if I ever made an offensive post I´m deeply sorry and I´d like to add that it was intended as a joke amongst friends and not anything else.


I agree with our dear Senor Snore. Lets keep this a cheerful place
