Hi guys.
First, I want to say that there are some very valid points being brought up by some of you, and I do think that there are some topics being touched upon here that warrant further discussion within the staff. I understand that it can be frustrating when it seems as though things are being handled in a way that's inconsistent, and I will say that we do try to make larger decisions in a way that's consistent and sensible, but there are times when it's difficult to get a full consensus from everyone and whomever is online at the time just acts on something, especially when it seems like a small and/or routine thing that shouldn't warrant a discussion. I do see how this might seem confusing when you're on the outside looking in and something is done that doesn't seem to make sense, but none of us are perfect and we all try to do the best we can.
I'm sorry you feel this way and while I don't believe any of the staff intentionally practices favoritism, it's particularly sucky for me to read since I honestly didn't have any friends here on TBT prior to joining the staff (yay reclusion!) Although I have made a couple of friends since, I can say that I would have absolutely no qualms with doling out punishment to any of them exactly as I would to anyone else who broke the rules.
As far as everything else goes, all I can say is that it's only natural that we as moderators are going to occasionally make decisions that other people don't agree with, just as there are disputes between members over not seeing eye to eye. I don't see anything wrong with discussing these things so long as the discussion remains respectful and constructive and isn't an attempt to single out one specific person and make them feel bad. I also want to say that my inbox is always open if someone desires clarification on anything I've done, or even to drop a suggestion on how to improve the way we do things so long as it's a valid concern and not just "u mods suk" or something of the like.
