Some have been dicks lately (No offense)
I wanna say these:
If I were any of those people, I would do everything it takes just to satisfy the community.
They have all the power. With great power comes great ________ (I know you know it)
You see, they are powerful BUT we should not be afraid of them, they must be afraid of us.
Anyone agree?

Most staff members are competent most of the time.
Administration is not really efficient, mostly because hampa does not care what goes on and some of the most prestigious positions are filled with inactive people who don't do anything interesting besides mocking people on IRC and giving occasional input when asked to.
Community is run by itself and it could be worse. It could be a lot better, but that would require work. No one likes to work for free and I doubt anyone will be paid to moderate the community anytime soon.

How are you?
Oh neat, it's been a while since I've seen one of these "WE HAVE THE POWER ETCETERA" threads.
Your point would be (mostly) true if you were talking exclusively about the GMs. Yes, their primary job is to make your gameplay experience more enjoyable and you should hold them to that.
The forum staff, on the other hand? If you think that we're here to dote on your every little need then you're more than a little bit mistaken. The forum staff exists to keep the forums orderly. We close shit threads, we deal with caustic behavior, we ban trouble users. Add all of that together and you get a job that's generally not going to be very popular simply because our primary job is to enforce the rules, not cater to your whims. If you're dealing with forum staff then it's likely because you did something wrong. In that situation I'd highly recommend you put away any entitled "you're here to serve me" thoughts you might have and concentrate on figuring out what you did.

I don't entirely agree with this.
I've been banned a lot, mainly just for disagreeing with a staff member or getting on their bad side for whatever reason. Staff have made a point to flame and abuse me many times, and even save and distribute logs. I think they mainly do this because they know there is no consequences, so they can be as big an asshole as they want.
I wouldn't say staff is an unpopular job, most people want to help out.
<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff
I am glad you're reading this. I, Karstnator, am making a complaint on some members from TGS (Team Girl Scouts). I believe that they have a high reputation since they won in the past clan league.
