Dictatorship Or Democracy?

[Spikedude]

I sincerely apologize for derailing completely, and also for jumping to conclusions about your post, we just hear it a lot from players and we're all doing the best we can (so it gets pretty frustrating). But hear me out for another minute.

That's not right, staff should be for the players not themselves and the players should be for the staff. We need somebody who cares about the players and somebody who has power/influence. Somebody who can make sure players aren't being treated badly etc.

We need a respected report system. The current one is over looked,old and not really used in a way it should be.
This is getting off-topic again but i liked how your post was going. We also need that.

I mean, that's always been what the PRA, GBA, and ETA were supposed to be (and at one point FAQA and GPA instead of PRA), but now they're all managed by the Manager (when we used to have a Dev Admin and Player Services Admin). And I've always personally thought of Manager as a position that should be able to focus on development, and as it turns out, most managers have been developers.

Maybe it would make sense to split the two entirely. And I think it does go along with your original post - players shouldn't be able to choose the development manager, because we all know most of them don't have the slightest idea what goes in to producing software. But Players know exactly what they want in terms of gang leaders, special events, rule enforcement, etc. Why not let them have more of a say in who gets to be Player Services Admin?
