This is the last time I'm going to respond since the mods have asked us to keep civil and I don't want to keep arguing in circles.
Do not tell me to Google something like I'm a child. I didn't say that in response just to that last part of your first comment, I said it in response to your general seeming expectation for player-to-mod interaction and mod interactivity during events.
We are in agreement about the Discord though. That was precisely my point, that people could be directed to the FAQ instead of expecting to have questions answered there where nobody else would be able to find them again. It's a fine program for what it does, but it's not a tool for organizing game information. That's all I meant.
This is not a dick-waving contest about who's been in more games and for how long, and it's my fault for turning it into one. The important point is what's good for this game, at this size, right now. I'm not saying it's perfect. In fact I've brought up multiple times the critique I myself have left, and the problems I have had, and the wait times I have dealt with for answers. My point is not that these problems don't exist, it's that your amount of vitriol is disproportionate and offputting. You're so stuck on fancy coding when there is no fancy coding. There's just information arranged on a page with a couple of bold headings. The stupid bullshit I spent a day coding for my roster is 'fancy coding'. Combing through to correct information requires discussion, especially when many FAQ answers and decisions were originally made by another mod team entirely and will need to be revisited. It is not a thing that can be done in an afternoon. It is not a thing that can be done all at once, no matter how much you whine that it should be. You are being willfully ignorant to what the actual brunt of the work is in favor of propping up your own narrative about what's been going on.
Again, I ask you what kind of communication you would like to see. I suggested regular updates on the state of the backlog, recently-finished work and currently ongoing projects. I am being serious here. You can't just say you want more and better communication and not explain what you mean by that beyond vague talking about how the mods haven't been doing it enough. You say you always have a solution in mind when you make these comments but so far all I've seen is you asking for more without any concrete explanation of what kind you need and how you would like it to be delivered to you and the game at large. Do you need a heads up any times the mods may be a little off schedule for personal matters which, by the way, they are not obligated to disclose to you or anyone? Do you need confirmation of when the lists were last updated, like a little 'updated on x date' at the bottom of the page? That might be helpful for mod housekeeping purposes too! This is an open floor discussion in a public post, which you invited by putting your critique here. Ultimately the goal is to find solutions to the perceived problem, even if we think it's one of wildly different levels of urgency.
But again, as I said, this is the last time I'll respond since the mods have asked us to step back a little.
