Can we let this die or take it to discord or something? This is getting out of fucking hand.

Slimebeast - I understand you think that this site is going in the direction of nepotism, favouritism, and all that shit. Fine. That's your view. I understand what you mean and have noticed a bit of it myself since summer began. The quality standards are also largely up to admin's discretion. That being said, they are there for a reason.

This place definitely isn't perfect, but it isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

That being said, it does need some changes, such as revising the QS, keeping administrator power to community power ratio in check, etc. but it isn't like you're saying. It's not apocalyptic. People aren't getting deleted or anything for being new. Some of the problems you cite (such as the admin showcase one) have a tough time holding water, especially since almost all admins here are also great writers.

Everyone here is acting a little bit childish, in that they are refusing to see each other's points and instead acting like theirs is scripture and the other's is stupid. You're all guilty of moving goalposts and dodging questions, and there are points to both sides of the argument. Just accept that, and try to listen to what each other are saying.

I don't care enough to argue for one side or the other. I just care enough for everyone (including people who are going to join this hellscape) to make sure they are being respectful of other's points and answer accordingly, or perhaps to end this thread. It's gotten way out of hand.
