This is, of course, another digression from the point of this thread, and hopefully the last, but I have to say this. First and foremost; I'm not insulted. I don't think Valdroth implied such anyway, but I would like to be clear on this point. But I do think that Valdroth makes a very good point, and there are aspects of how things are done in ISRP that aren't to my personal tastes. Having said that, noone in a position of power has managed to please every single one of their subjects that I can think of, so to an extent it is the duty of the people to accept to a degree some of the decisions and rulings. I think that, therefore, Trelian makes a good point in response to Valdroth. The Magi are volunteers, the work they do to keep ISRP alive and as good a place to RP as they can, they do because they want to. There's never really been any money in the job, nor any reward (other than a great deal of gratitude - believe me, it exists, right?), so I think any criticisms of what they do must therefore be couched in positive terms. Attacking, upsetting or managing to offend the Magi will really only ultimately achieve one thing: the dissolution of ISRP. Please bear that in mind! That said, issues that are important enough should still be brought to them, and then it's for them to decide the best course of action. We, the plebians, then wait for the resolution of the decision-making process and abide by the resulting ruling.Could ISRP be run better? No doubt. There are pleanty of problems and issues. Are any of them actually that big of a problem? It's my opinion that they aren't. This is by and large a well run site. Please try to remember the invisible things that we take for granted, that some poor soul had to do, for love's sake. They won't be inclined to do it again if we show no respect!I'll make criticisms of ISRP, sure. There are many things I'm not keen on... but you know what? I'm still here, right. And I'm trying, in my own way, to contribute and give something back to the community that's given so much to me. I'm not saying anyone else should do what I do, but you're damn well going to show some respect.I'm sure you know all this, but aparently it needed saying anyway. It's a sentiment, I think, that is seen here and there, but isn't necessarily voiced very often. Well here it is.For the record, by the way, I knew the answer would be no. I knew, actually, that you have to be a Magi to be a setting coordinator. That's why I debated whether or not to make the comment at all... I decided to do so in the end because I wanted my feelings on the issue said. Whoever becomes setting coordinator, assuming someone takes it up, would then hopefully have identified me as a potential resource. I offer my services, for what good it may do. But I wasn't offended by the rejection - that's actually standard... and maybe that's an issue that I could point out, for the consideration of the Magi. You've a community of people willing to do an awful lot for you... are you aware of it? I'm guessing you are, but I'm saying it anyway.Bla, bla, bla. I'm sure I've said something somewhere to upset someone. I appologise in advance. Oh, and don't expect me to say anything more for a while... I just wasted a whole lot of time that I should have spent revising, so I'm not reading over what I just wrote, so idiocy may have remained. Whatever.~Jeajea(_one_cap)p.s. Thanks, Trel. Exams are mediocre so far... I'm hoping I manage to do better for the ones I have left. Quantum Physics exam, anyone?</blockquote>
