I'm not Staff, consider me a normal member that talks too much, but this is not how I'd recommend a member of the Staff, and specially an admin, to talk to a member of the forums:

Hello,

It appears that item doesn't function. Thanks for the notification.

Best Regards,
Eric

BattleForums Administration
He also gave me my points back so I have no complaints about that service. What bothered me, though, is how Eric tried to be professional in private while being completly anti-me in public. It, I don't know, reeks of fakeness.

I seriously don't think someone should act professional in an online forum. If anything, they could be professional, with the definition Gally gave and with which I am completely in accordance to.

If anything, the Staff are no more than members that've been there for quite some time, and are thus dedicated enough to be patient to the tyranny the admins sometime show.

Now I am not saying the tyranny of the admin team is necessarily a bad thing. It only is when it sounds so fake that the members can not say anything else other than 'lol'. I know that, because I've done it. Yes, I had my mistakes too, that's why I resigned.

Honestly, if the staff is just here to fight with each other..I might as well demod everyone and mod everything myself.
You really think that'd change anything? People would still complain and fight, just wouldn't be mods. I mean, look at me

I will now quote a PM I sent RoaCh as of my not-so-well-written-but-similar-to-CB's opinion:

Quote:
But I only want to remind you this is BattleForums, the very core of it means that enforcing the rules is stupid, specially in the way Eric's doing it. He's acting like the admin team is constituted by people who have to be too far away from the members, and it has never been like that.

Seriously, RoaCh, he talked to me even before I was admin, surprised, of how you could handle people by being nice to them. In his eyes, you had no respect from the members.

It's really sad that the admin team has been so separated from the rest of the member base, when you still are members as everyone else, and how he silences everyone he wants as he pleases.
I'd like to add to this that RoaCh himself is also a lot more away from the members than what he was one year ago.

But yes, I completely agree with CB. It's all I've been trying to say, although I do apologise I do not have the english speech skills he has.
