I would've agree for most of them

but this blog riles people up and we don't want that, it could lead to us banning more people than we should have if they get too violent such as vandalizing or spamming to "protest". That would divide us and make us look bad. You could already talk this to us WITHOUT rallying people and start a damn protest about change. Even if it isn't a protest, you are basically asking for it, and trust me this happens too many times.'

Chatmod is first because they have the least power and those who are the least trustworthy of the staff and still needs to prove themselves that is why they are restricted to chat but would also keep the chat in check (which we still need to because some people arent in there), dicuss mod has slightly more power and are limited to forums and comments, not as powerful as content mods but it makes sense for them to be like that. And so forth. Giving new staff content mod status too early would allow them to have more power early and thats bad.

it's like we give people admins first then make their way downwards to chatmod status. That won't work.

1 - We already have that but it's pretty much unannounced and we have enough admins and staff on the job anyways.

2 - No, what difference would it make in the long term?

3 and 4 - I agree on them, but it isn't our fault that there are less people on around these times that doesn't sign up (and if they did) aren't qualified enough. We tried with people like Ion and now we put people like you in charge to help during the night.

if you somehow respond to this negatively like "CHANGE THIS PLZ BATRAN" or "you are bad for not accepting this" then you prove my point. I agree with most of these ideas, but for one: we already have #1 (but its just not written down) and this blog is a wrong approach. Discuss this to us admins in PM rather than reaching out.
