Hello Seven,
This will probably get deleted and I will get banned from the Buggars, but would you pass this information on to the old FS members that have joined Buggars.
HC this is not FS, there is nothing in your post that warrants deletion. It's informative and reasonable.
But when you consider the actions of your forum Nazi's the reaction you see from older members is to be expected. It is an attitude created solely by the FS Councl and Moderators.
Instead, they come on under a different registration and accuse the FS of getting rid of them. Call them the Forum police and Nazis. I don't think you would want that in your server and we sure don't need it in our server.
In this rare instance perhaps the FS has finally found some issue they can properly defend and explain.
Unfortunately for the vast majority of the actionsof the Moderators "Forum Nazi's" is a very appropriate and accurate term
The only bad feelings and bad blood that keeps the clans apart seems to come from the old FS members that have resigned.
Like they don't have reasons? Give me a break, the FS drove these members out and then like to say "they chose to leave". What a stretch of the actual abusive conditions being imposed on the members by an unresponsive and vindictive Council.
Look at how many quit FS.....doesn't that tell you they were the majority opinion. Doesn't that tell you Council decisions were wrong or unfair?
But the membership was stonewalled because they had no leverage to implement change.
Actually the new members of FS owe a debt of gratitude to those of us who left. Without those of us who departed in protest changes still would not have been considered by Council.
They would have continued to use member donations for their own personal whims and punish people without fair hearings.
I feel for those who remain and fight for a lost cause, I suppose Council should feel quite satisfied that they drove of most people with differing opinions. Even though those opinions favored a more responsive Council to members who support the whole operation with their donations.
If it were not for people leaving the Council would not have implemented any changes at all, and that is a very simple fact.
It took the departures to initiate any change. The changes today are very old issues that Council chose to ignore, until the groupp began to fall apart. Every single change you are considering could have been implemented at least 2-3 yrs ago. All had been under discussion and ignored by the majority of Council who wanted complete control.
I wish you well, I hope the changes implemented make the FS more democratic and responsive to the members. But just remember, the thanks does not go to FS Council, it goes to former members who left in protest and thereby initiated change.
