Martz said:I have to support him, and any other league admin blindly. None of us have the time to double/tripple check every other league admins work. Nothing would get done then. I always supported Psy on the forums by deleting threads/posts/banning people who were unable to follow the forum rules themselves - that was my support to Psy. If I treated you like an idiot, I sincerly appologise. If there are users flaming the league admin on the forum, then your posts are going to get deleted and your point is going to get missed. Regardless of the league admins actions or inactions - you need to support the community by following the rules and procedure, not waging a text based, forum war against an admin. That will not get you anywhere, as this whole situation points out. Perhaps if I had received any private messages about the types of damage you talk about which I do not see, I would have been aware of it. But nobody "told us so" anymore than coming up with a conspiracy story, flames, and little proof.
If you agree with me or not, it's the way it happened - and I hope it doesn't happen again. If it does tho, NO NOT FLAME PEOPLE! It still amazes me that there are veteran users who do not understand this very basic concept. If you flame or are virtualy violenent/agreesive, people will not listen to you. The same in real life - if I have a problem and walk up to a policeman or member of the public on the street and start screening/shouting and insulting them - they will not care what my problem is until I have calmed down. And most of the people who did have a problem with Psy only flamed him in public. If an admin was investigated everytime they were flamed nothing would get done, and this place would go down the pan even quicker. Finding the balance was the hard thing, and I think it was right at the time. I wouldn't go back in time and start investigating every single complaint of botting/cheating/corruption or else we would have thrown the towel in a long time ago.
And, let us not forget Psy did not found this place, nor did he create the majority of rules. The majority of them have all been in place since Phear ran this league - and I watched him receive exactly the same amount of shit from the community and other players and Psy received. And yet Phear wasn't corrupt in the slightest - but there are plenty of people in ION and Mi5 who said otherwise at the time.
Well said.
Let me just point out that the word "you" in my recent post was meant as "the whole community, with a few exceptions of course" (Including some admins). Not yourself Martz, because i haven´t spoken to you a lot in the past. I did flame Psy a lot in forums because of what he did against me in the past and during his whole time here. Maybe it was stupid to do it in a public forum but you must understand 1 thing here. I actually tried to talk to some admins before i wrote it in public. I can assure you that Mughi remembers some of my complaints against Psy so if you feel the need to know, feel free to ask her (i guess). Or just leave it, because at least i certainly feel it´s over with.
After nothing, or at least very little was done to prevent this because of the admin team having to stick together (which i understand totally) i posted things in public just to let every1 know what was going on and to make myself feel better due to having expressed my feelings and thoughts.
Edit:
P.s.
Sry Mughi for harassing you with "Psy-complaints" for such a long time when you were admin
