So.

I was looking about the 'Boards today and I decided to wander into the Suggestions and Feedback forum, or whatever we're calling it nowadays. Information Kiosk, I think.

Anyway, I saw that Charlie had made a thread called "YOU FASCISTS!....my first complaint thread."

"Oh, glory," I thought.

Of course, upon clicking it, I found exactly what I was expecting: complaints about the staff being overzealous with their jobs.

Now, I've been with OB for going on seven years now (dear God, I feel old now). I've seen my fair share of people complaining about the staff being entirely too overbearing. But I'm gonna be frank here: Damn it all if I understand it.

This may be because I rarely venture out of the Alley, but I really haven't noticed anyone doing any of that sort of thing. As far as I know, we've toned it down. I'm not at liberty to go into great detail, but you can be certain that we've taken that stuff into account and we've made sure to reign all that in by a parsec.

But we're still getting flak from a lot of people. Raiha even called OB a "fascist state." Whether she was being facetious or not is beyond me, but it still makes me think...and slightly angry, not gonna lie.

I mean, it's not like we're not normal members until we have to do our jobs, but from my perspective, people are looking at us more like Big Brother than what we really are: members with privileges. This could merely be my specific point of view, but damn if it don't make sense.

I suppose this is mainly because I'm somewhat confused about the state of things and I would like a better synopsis of what's going on in order to go about helping to form a bridge across an apparently widening gap between the staff and the members, but... Well, I guess I'll just sit here confused in the meantime. :/
