I’m glad I held off on snap replying with what I “wanted to say” so that you could respond much more eloquently for me <3.Bluesec" pid='33689' dateline='1544485327:
Disclaimer: I haven’t made a single post in here and this is the opinion of a spectatorAh yes—another thread citing useless bullshit and extrapolating it to mean the worst. Will you people please just suicide by cop? The splash page and the organizational layout of the entire site is currently being worked on/redone. I know its hard to comprehend that the admins have lives offline but its real! We aren’t getting paid for this shit and from personal talks with sources they seem pretty happy and they are FAR more important to us than you. Use SST or don’t. No one will lose any sleep over it.
I’d be curious to know how our splash page prevents you from establishing a dialogue with a source. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.
You can explain your stance without insulting their suggestions and telling them to “suicide by cop” (wtf?) over something so minuscule man.
These members (OP specifically) are trying to make suggestions to better the board. Their remarks aren’t out of malice like you’ve mistaken them for, rather, the complete opposite, benevolence. They want things to be better, more appealing, more active, more mature, and more helpful. They’re giving their viewpoint as a member, and even if you disagree, you can do so without lashing out emotionally. It’s just not necessary, and if anything as an administrator you should be appreciative of your members trying to point out areas that may need changing or improvement–we just want to help make this a better place.
Further, us members can’t know about things like the rework of the splash page or site overhaul unless you guys communicate that with us. Maybe post a monthly announcement to let people know what’s changing, what’s being worked on, what’s being thought of, etc.?! Just basic communication to keep everybody in the loop would be extremely beneficial to the board. Had there been an update post letting us know the front page was being redone, Scrapiron would have had no reason to post this thread, but since we were left in the dark he had no reason to assume that it was being worked on and was only able to see it from a member’s POV rather than a staff member or somebody who was kept up-to-date.
Just my 2c, hope you don’t wish death upon me because of it (lol, semi-kidding)
