explain to me why the whole economy thing isn't getting alot of updates, but my Wall of Shame incident, which was only me as far as I know, I just told Crev that there were other players with them, and now it has made front page Ala.

Well, you know. It seems as though all of us have tried the issue hub. Multiple times. <br /> <br /> And it doesn't appear to be working now, does it.<br /> <br /> "you seem unhappy until you get your way."<br /> <br /> And you seem unhappy that the players want something that isn't <i>your</i> way. <br /> <br /> How would you explain that?

"The reason this is so is because I have developed a feeling that due to this lack of communication, there is no point. That's why I don't message the mods or admins anymore, or post in the issue hub."<br /> <br /> The words, "Don't knock it until you've tried it" come to mind... Seriously... just try it. If the issue isn't resolved, ask that it's bumped to the next level. <br /> <br /> "You're really not getting this. I'm not saying, hey absolutely do this. I'm saying, respond to my suggestion."<br /> <br /> This seems to be exactly what you're saying. We've had a LOT of communication about this and... well... you seem unhappy until you get your way. <br /> <br /> Once again - use the issue hub to voice your concerns, your general disconsent with rulings, and even your unhappiness with site changes. This way, it is documented and it MUST be paid attention to. Seriously... just do it... all of you. I can't promise to pay attention to this thread, or any other, for an indeterminate amount of time. This is NOT on my radar. The issue hub makes it on my radar :)

I am saying that no one has responded to any of the things I have said about the mods, only saying that it is site bashing.

I have not yet responded to anything in the Open Discussion thread.<br /> <br /> Please don't complain that you haven't gotten an answer when it has been less than 24 hours.<br /> <br /> Things do not happen instantly, I'm sorry you feel ignored, but patience is needed for things like this. :-)<br /> <br /> ^..^<br /> Wysper<br /> <br />

we are not " sitting on our heels and doing nothing" we are in the forum and messaging each other trying to come up with a peaceful way to solve this, but anytime something is said about a problem with the site, you call it "site bashing" and act like it is treason to say anything against Ala. I also posted in Wysp's open discussion telling about what I also posted in the Hub, but no one addressed it head on.

"You talk about communication and yet you have not used the issue hub as directed in our last numerous attempts to resolve conflict. I find this very disheartening. "<br /> <br /> The reason this is so is because I have developed a feeling that due to this lack of communication, there is no point. That's why I don't message the mods or admins anymore, or post in the issue hub. Because of how bad things have been in the past and how they have gotten worse. Not because I'm not willing to help Ala. Because I don't see the point when nothing has been done policy wise to change these things.<br /> <br /> "No, not all of your suggestions will happen, but that's the nature of the beast."<br /> <br /> ...You're really not getting this. I'm not saying, hey absolutely do this. I'm saying, respond to my suggestion. Especially considering it has to do with you and all of the staff. Plus the fact I don't think its a bad suggestion at all. Its not demanding. Its a mod/admin's job to establish communication between them and the players. In my opinion, the fact that I have to even make that a suggestion is what sickens me. I'm not yelling you to jump through hoops to please me. I'm asking you to respond to player's questions and concerns. I was pointing out previous posts of mine that you ignored because of this. If you weren't willing to establish this type of communication with players that is generally required of admins/mods to make them well liked, why be an admin? And it's perfectly possible to do these things and still have a wonderful running site.<br /> <br /> Also, you've still ignored the majority of my post. Communication. How hard is it to respond to one word? That's what most of what I'm saying boils down to. Communication. That's what I want, and I don't understand why you are not responding to this, and yet you are insisting you listen to all of our suggestions and ideas.

I haven't said hardly a word about the economy. Yeah, being incapable of giving to charity kind of sucks, but Ala's economy has never been my main concern. Could you be honest with me for a moment, have you read anything I posted?<br /> <br /> All I requested was communication and a little <i>respect</i>. I can't believe it's so hard for the staff to see that your refusal to offer that to the majority of players is the reason for it. <br /> <br /> Check the $10 Predict thread. I don't know Shadow, I don't know a few others protesting it. But we're saying the same thing. Ala has long been proving it's not deserving of our donations and to try to force the money out of players to get them to buy more? Ludicrous.<br /> <br /> I've stated time and time again. I feel for Robyn. But I can't be flushing money away into a site that's refuses to offer me even the slightest bit of courtesy. <br /> I'm not alone, I'm not crazy. These are valid concerns. And until they are seen and responded to as such, do not expect the former success of Ala to return.

"Kael, many people are well aware with your situation with Ly. This isn't some big secret. <br /> <br /> And your comment on "world views"? The epitome of unprofessional."<br /> <br /> A big secret it may be not within your social circle, but I take confidence at the utmost of priority. <br /> <br /> An expanding a world view, especially in relation to Alacrity, is hardly unprofessional. Philosophers consistently ask this of their readers :)

I have officially had it, I have tried talking to other mods about the way I have been treated, and I repeatedly brushed under the rug. I love how I post a "Wall of Shame" only on my profile, and it gets turned into an update, and the whole new shop boutique thing isn't really addressed, like what I am talking about in my first post. If there isn't any changes in the way I am treated, I will leave Alacrity and not have very good things to say about it either. I would love to post all messages I have gotten from mods being rude and biased to me about little rules, but I would probably get banned. I posted in the issue hub an issue with a mod, and it wasn't resolved, it was basically ignored.
