Article posted by Legix Tuesday at 12:37AM and Approved by Ame Tuesday at 1:01 AM, clearly you don't believe your own words. You can scream that it was talked about in discord or other methods over and over again but until its discussed in here and set in stone..... it doesn't count. Using the same burden of proof you tend to apply to Cadet and his activites on the NTSE its more then enough to scream bias and special treatment no matter the complication of the article since you guys tended to do the same over the simplest pieces of tech and hold them up for weeks. This one a corporation passed in less then an hour... and using a more concise method... screams bias and special treatment.
So if I'm being shown bias and I want to eliminate
all bias as mentioned in the following posts... what does that mean?
- A deliberate attempt to ignore certain submissions.
- Ensuring the NTSE stop deliberately hindering articles by ignoring them, as has happened to Frost seemingly multiple times as-of-late. As much as Arieg has complained, I again will point out that he has got well near 30+ articles approved in the past few months. This promotes more talk of bias because he got streamlined while some articles have sat in the NTSE for a month or more in that same timespan.
The workload is unbalanced because one side won't grab another's in this mess. The NTSE needs more mods, but giving the members more power is the definitive wrong way to handle this.
I just want people to start figuring out that the real issue is not the players, it's that people are rather trying to fight and argue instead of hear people out or just ignore them. It's on people who refuse to pick up X's submission because they openly admit bias and refuse to even try to work past it. It's literally a thousand other reasons that don't have to do with removing a player right.
Use PMs like you're supposed to and try to keep "NTSE Issues" relevant to actual NTSE issues like the shirking and avoiding of handling certain threads over the threads of friends. I'd love if instead of having to rely on
@Ametheliana for all my submissions that
@CadetNewb would have actually taken them. I'm sure Frost would have as well, but his threads only end up sitting there
for a few months without a reply.
I've been saying it since Page 3. I want
all of it gone. Saying I was shown bias and then me saying for it to be gone is like the biggest middle finger to receiving special treatment. Why would I do that if I actually thought I received/needed bias? You made me wait all this time and then gave me a reply like this? It's clear you didn't think it through and you clearly haven't figured out something important in all this.
If your lies of bias are even true, then I'm in a better position to argue against it because I've apparently benefited from it. My opinion and statements are triply validated because I know best about the issue because I can see it from the other side and validate it exists. But instead of realize that, you're trying to act like I needed bias to get an article approved that you spent the last few hours STUDYING over to try and figure out how to bring it down. And when you couldn't find it, you just defaulted to the fact it got approved fast.
Communication and clarity DEFINITELY matters. Again: this is why ALL my things in the NTSE pass fast. It's not just Ken-TEC. Everything I have put in the NTSE has cleared it faster than most articles, even from BEFORE Ame became an NTSE mod. So just stop, Arieg. It's really pathetic.
The thing is, when I first began the job as an NTSE Mod, I was fine with people coming in giving their honest two cents. Always was - it was actually helpful.
The last year though? That's a very different animal all together, and that's what's burned me out. What I've seen is basically a very specific crowd of people always posting in the same people's threads, and always in opposition, and sometimes with the most pedantic pile of bull I've ever seen. Worse, I'm well aware that these very specific people posting in the same submitter's thread over and over again have an axe to grind. It is aggravating that this literal handful of people have abused the privilege - it's not a right - to post in the NTSE, just to get at the people they don't like. Having this happen for an entire year - for an entire goddamned year - I have found that I don't even care if they're very occasionally right anymore.
And that's why I'm taking a break from the NTSE. This has gone too far.
I quoted the original post rather than the one you edited requesting mod powers, precisely because you seem to not realize that this happened to me. I didn't get an apology for it happening until just two days ago. You
allowed the harassment to go on there, specifically trying to echo what even
@Ira said was irrational harassment and apologized for. But we don't talk about the behavior exhibited there, instead you hone in on Frost. This is why the discussion isn't good, because we still have people refusing to acknowledge the entire issue just like Arieg is doing by trying to discredit me.
People need to stop acting like "this is it, screw this" because the reality is that
everyone is still here and as far as I know, Cadet hasn't quit. You took a break. You've said it specifically that way multiple times for the reason it clearly isn't your intent to do more than strike because you're not a fan of how you've been treated. But no one will talk about how
@Ametheliana was treated, no one will acknowledge the ignoring/bias shown toward Frost (but apparently we have to harp on that I was shown a faster approval time as a better issue?), and no one will stop pushing for these different goals instead of try to genuinely resolve or work on the very simple solutions outlined multiple times by
@Syaoran.
If people would prefer to point and blame, instead of realize the petty "sides" thing is absurd, then we're going to be here and not get anything done. Just like the last two times the NTSE had issues, we brought them up, and then failed to fix it because we got distracted with alternative fixes.
