I will take a moment to clear the air for anyone who might think otherwise or some such, despite the timing this is not a post specifically created as a critique towards the treatment of one particular member. I should admit that it may look shady / like such, but I have no relation to that particular incident, tie to the particular player, or other such. I have even defended that judgement.

This is not about that. This is about things that have been said long before that ban. Long before the ban before it. I am aware that the community is not usually forward with the GM team, but it sometimes makes itself feel so distant that it is overall just harder to approach. Outside of some groups you're probably not going to talk to them.

I only have been able to express enough confidence to talk to them through being part of those groups at some point, and without that I don't think I'd have been given any reason to feel comfortable doing so. I don't think that's entirely either the community or the GM team's fault. I think both sides can take steps to remedy this.

But to find a way to make things better, I think this post was needed.

I will also reiterate that this post is not to call out the particular series of events. Rather it is a fresh example of the system failing to work.

Also again I think it's clear that Appo is trying to put out a call to rally, and reform the current state of affairs so that Staff and the Player Base can more openly communicate, and have the means.

In fact my suggestions have asked that tools be given to the Players in order to provide cleaner logs, easier to digest reports, and open OUR dialogue more easily with the GM Team. I feel as though people will misinterpret the intentions here, and Appo is doing this with the best intentions of improving the Community, and Culture of SL2.
