Morgan, please never say anything like this again. You can't say something like that as though you know what every member of the community has gone through their entire lives, or even their entire time in the community. Something I have always noticed you and other Lead Team members pointing out what is wrong with people. Why they should not be accepted for any higher ranks, what they should stop doing. FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE START NOTICING WHEN SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING GOOD, AND START TO TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE DOING WELL. Back when I was an admin, I constantly had a specific member of the Lead Team going on about how shit things I was doing were. It is fucking stupid how things are done. People have been confused or pissed off at people when they are feeling more stressed by staffing or when they resign because they feel too pressurised. You get pissed off at people when they point out flaws in the Lead Team, rather than actually accepting it and improving.

With all the fair negatives you have pointed out, Akemi has accepted that they exist and has tried to work on them. I can vouch for the way shit works a lot. Back when the whole abuse thing happened when I was an admin, I was constantly noticing how nobody took into account the positive things that I had done for the community. The only person who I felt was being fair back then was Chute, as he had stated himself that just because there were negatives, there were still positives.

Akemi has done a lot of good shit for the community and the server, and you need to take this into account. She had been a good staff member for a long time, always listening to people and doing a great job in doing her job. She encountered personal issues, making her go inactive for a while. Yes, it is a big thing that caused an issue in the server, but she was still dedicated as all hell, and despite not putting in a lot of time, she was still putting in a lot of effort.

When people have personal issues, you need to respect that and have some patience until they get back. Not having one member of the lead team around for a little while can cause some issues, yes, but if you have the right amount of teamwork and coordination, then you should be able to handle it. Akemi started to be more active, she got past it and started to be able to uphold you standards again, and you bloody well shot her down, which is fucking stupid.

On the topic of criticism, you give out a shit ton of it, but you don't take it. I used to do the same thing, until Raeker and Para both spoke to me about it and helped me to improve on that (<3). You need to start to listen to the criticism people give you, and not get pissed off at them and just fighting back at them. Start to take into account the good in people, and listen to the people who give you criticism.

Love y'all really <3

[quote="Anna"]I didn't really feel like joining SSRP too much and I got caught up in other games. [/quote] This was a big frustration for us, you seemed to blow off SSRP and then at the same time had almost a hundred hours on other games in the past two weeks that could have been spent on SSRP, but you chose not to. [quote="Anna"]This was the first week which I had a "normal" week again. This time I, in fact, DID play on the server, and I did, in fact, do my duty.[/quote] We looked through all of the logs and seemingly didn't find any trace of you really doing your job of what is expected with this role. [quote="Anna"]Yes, my activity wasn't much last week, I agree on that. But It was still an improvement of what It used to be.[/quote] [quote="Anna"]And as far as I know, people know I am someone who improves in steps, I don't scale a mountain at once, I do it in steps.[/quote] It was still little to no work on your part, the head admin roll unfortunately isn't that easily comparable to a staircase like you're trying to make it seem with the whole "Taking 1 step at a time to improve". We gave you multiple official warnings, but you still had done little to none with the position you were promoted to even during this week you were back to a certain extent. [quote="Anna"]I'm appealing because I do kinda still like SSRP,[/quote] You only "kinda still like" the server? From the way you're wording it, it sounds like your interest is hanging on by a thread for the server, and your activity honestly reflects that. [quote="Anna"]Yes, my activity was low, and yes I agree with it. But I don't think you should instantly demote me[/quote] After the multiple official warnings, weeks of inactivity proceeding each one, this definitely was not an instant demotion. Your activity was low, the work you put in reflected it, what would the point of demoting you to Moderator or Administrator be if this sort of behavior had been continuous? [quote="Anna"]because I am someone who improves stuff slowly this wasn't really completely my fault.[/quote] We gave you so many chances, 10 to 11 weeks at the most, we are there to help you to an extent, but this was just completely crossing the line and at the end of the day we had to take action. At the end of the day, you were given [b]multiple[/b] official warnings, countless weeks to work with the issues and hopefully come out on top of them with improved activity and getting back to helping out the servers - but we saw little to nothing from you at the end of the day. You were a great staff member Akemi, but during these past 10 weeks it's felt you've only drifted away from the team, lost interest playing other steam games, and at the end of the day we had to take action. This demote appeal is not fair to any of us and only selfish.[/quote][/spoiler] And this is why so many people dislike like you Morgan, it's the attitude and the fact that you only see the bad in people and never seem to take the time to help others improve in the areas they may be lacking knowledge or skill. Stop with the constant criticisms and actually support people when support is needed.[/quote] I don't get why some people don't understand that being blunt is not the same as being rude or heartless, sure sometimes it can hurt your feelings but ultimately Morgan wants what's best for the server no? Seeing flaws is better than pointing out perfections since it leads to [b]improvement[/b].[/quote] Some people have never seen or had criticism in their life, everything is so childlike these days. I do see the good in people, but if you've been inactive constantly, rarely do your job, etc. What are you contributing other than excuses?[/quote][/spoiler] Morgan, please never say [b]anything[/b] like this again.
