@CraftyMyner, I have seen the message that Crewman has put in the Discord server which I am banned from (big surprise) and I am asking you, BEGGING YOU, to give him the power to do what he needs. Tez, Dennari, CommanderCat, and all other staff have repeatedly shown that they cannot and will not work towards bettering the server.
The current staff team makes no effort to actually do anything. Player counts have stagnated and dropped. There have been no donations since July. And all of this has happened since Dawn stepped down and Tez took over. Had someone competent been there to take the reigns, maybe things could have been different.
They play favorites. They circlejerk each other with reactions and updoots. They believe they can do no wrong. They think that the shit coming from their mouths and keyboards should be treated as gospel. They are upholding the status quo of this downwards death spiral, and they are proud of it. They have created and cultivated a toxic culture of power. All they are are lazy, power-tripping bureaucrats that don't like when they are challenged.
I know that you've always thought of this server as a passion. I also share in that feeling. I first joined the server back in 2015, far before most staff members had joined. I've seen a vast majority of the server history, and even participated in it. Playing on the server during that time gave me some of the best memories of my life. The spirit of the CraftyMynes I know from back then is a withered husk of itself. No one can banter anymore. No one can speak ill of the state of the server anymore.
Jard, Baron, and iwarriiori have all been banned from the Discord today, yet if you ask your staff, they will not give you a good enough reason as to why. Dawn and I have been banned for a while, yet they could not give you a good enough reason either. You might get "Another toxic post from someone who doesn't play on the server." or something to that effect.
There is no CraftyCrate for this month (which you've specifically been blamed for btw), there was no Halloween maze, there was no server birthday announcement (do Tez and co. even know the birthday?), and Tez is actually planning a FULL SERVER RESET for an update that adds LITERALLY NO TERRAIN GENERATION CHANGES. They have NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to improve the server. Go ahead and ask them. In fact, ask them what they've done in the last few months as members of staff, and I bet you will be disappointed with their answers.
I know that you know that if things aren't changed, the server will continue to be a drain on your finances until eventually it is shut down. We have one last hope, and that is Crewman06. The only one of your staff (formerly) who I and many others believe actually understands and gives a shit as to what is transpiring. Please give him the opportunity to reverse course. Thank you for reading.
TO THE STAFF I'VE ADDRESSED IN THIS POST:
You guys cannot rebut what I've said here. You claim that we are the problem, yet you can't even provide any legitimate reasons or proof for our bans. You've all just tried to silence and get rid of those that you personally didn't like. You used your power in all of the wrong places instead of trying to revive the community. I hope that if Crewman is given the power he asks for, he removes all of you and replaces you with staff that are actually competent and care about the community. Go ahead and try to silence me on the forums too, if you want. I have a copy of this message, I will be archiving this specific forum post, and if it does end up disappearing mysteriously, I will DM everything to Crafty and it will only serve to prove my point further. I am no longer just praying on your downfall, I will be directly involved.
