Seeing this for the first time and its really shattering that its come to this.However Id personally like to see things move ahead instead of pondering on and on,so Id like to give my opinions in the matter(which are solely mine and Im not speaking on behalf of the staff team or anything.)
What we need to understand is that we all acknowledge the fact that all of us cant speak perfect English.But what Id like members to do is to atleast "try" and improve their English,either by reading more at the forum or by learning the basics through ways that may help them.All this is only for other members so that they also understand exactly what each others views and opinions are.
Totally,I know for a fact that all ideas are considered especially by the higher staff,even if I dont get the time offlate to read upon things going on at the forum.Whether the ideas are considered or not are upto the staff and their decisions,which is based only on the forum and its members.
I can never ever in my time at PC felt that the staff(including my days as a member) ever reacting based on race or religion.Its entirely based on the individual and his/her attitude.
I dont think the rules are based at an adult level?
Ofcourse not.Again Id like to believe that staff members dont do that.However its not something which can be controlled to a fine level by other staff members.Its up to each individual to realise the same and Id like to believe that all of the staff,atleast the ones in the current tenure do the same.Ofcourse I can never be a judge of myself,so I'll leave that to the public and the other staff members.
Without doubt and its definately our initial aim at dealing things.But if people are not ready to accept things or if things get out of hand they must be imposing according to my opinion.
Again its something based on the individual,but I feel that most of the current staff have a level head on their shoulders.Also its possible to get that feeling looking from the outside.
1)Members are almost all the time given multiple chances.Im an ideal example after some of the things I did when I was a member.Unless youre posting things totally out of place members are always given multiple chances.
2)What does Consistency not prevailing mean? That we treat people in different ways?
3)Issues are always discussed among staff,and only when the majority of them agree to something is it implemented,so whats the problem?
4)Things getting slightly offtopic is fine imo.That doesnt mean that people should start getting totally out of place,flaming or posting rubbish.Thats when they end up getting deleted.
5)No member is ever ignored,and their opinions are based on how valid they may be.However if a member feels ignored despite this,its not something that can be controlled by the staff,unless someone in the staff is ready to provide free gifts to all members feeling ignored at their expense.
Again a similar thing,people are always ready to express as long as its within the rules,and unless they are totally getting offtopic.So if this is kept in mind when people(people i.e everyone including staff and higher staff) post then there isnt any reason to fear.
Again Id like to repeat that these are only my personal views in the matter and what I genuinely feel both as a regular(although the word regular doesnt quite suit me offlate) member and as a part of the staff.
