@IceEmpress There is a reason why I have been answering the questions I put my hand up to do this and I am glad I have built up some trust with you, I do try my best and like to work with the members not against them. I might not say much but that is because I am not into pulling stuff out of thin air as it would be unhelpful and some things are out of my control. However since honesty has been mentioned I feel I should point out there is a reason why most of the staff(Mods and Coords) have remained silent. This is because when the members got upset at the start of all this I could see no point whatsoever in the staff getting involved in something they did not implement, they may or may not agree with, being vendors or content creators that possibly shared their freebies may have been affected directly by the changes themselves and at the end of the day have to administer the rules. Taking this into consideration it was hardly fair to have them feel obliged to participate or be put in the position to have to even consider taking sides. I put that forward and did not hesitate in doing so since the staff have had friends here for years and when emotions run high things happen and can get out of control and it would be a shame to see fractured friendships over this when neither party are at fault. The staff were not instructed rather given the opportunity to refrain from commenting. Obviously due to the lack of comments by them throughout this issue the members can be confident their silence is because they don't want to fight with you and they signed up to assist the members, work with and get along well with everybody as best as possible in the community. IMO they all chose the right path.
