Member Questions

However, on the matter of the staff's hypotheticals, every time these kinds of discussions happen it's always the same song and dance. This is just one instance of many during my year here on the site. Members have repeatedly said they don't feel heard and it goes often ignored or told: "that's not our intention" or "we will discuss this amongst ourselves" and come up with a solution that barely listens to our concerns on the matter and mostly sides with staff. 

I'm not staff, but have you considered that maybe staff make the decisions they do because staff are the ones implementing and enforcing rules? It's fine to want things a certain way, but sometimes the will of the players will clash with what is feasible for a staff that is working on a volunteer basis to handle.
