Somewhere on these forums you have listed that when a guild leader does something wrong, extremely wrong, the whole guild gets punished. The same logic that states if a guild member cannot be kept under control, the behavior gets reflected onto the guild leader and the guild as a whole.

It has come to my attention that the leader of Nihilum, has recently been banned for RMT on Red99.

This being said, is it not time to properly take action for what the LEADER has done? The LEADER of Nihilum just broke the one most promising rule here on this box. I think it's time to take action, disband the guild, make them reform.

Seeing the name is just a detriment to this server at this point. If someone can find that post where the leader is held responsible for his actions, please re-post.

Please help preserve this box.

Thanks for your time.

yours truly,

Andis the Preserver

Lets get one thing straight folks. We don't answer to you.

There has been a lot of petitions lately, a lot of posts on the forums, with everyone trying to critique GM Decisions. The developers of this project put way too much time into this for us to be put on the spotlight every single time we make a decision, ESPECIALLY when you ASSUME you know all the facts. 90% of the time, you don't. Situations are handled between the staff and the players directly involved. Any dialog between a GM and a player can be considered a private matter, and will not be open to public debate. Players will divulge their interactions with GM's as they see fit, maybe giving all details and maybe not disclosing all of it, and quite possible they themselves aren't aware of every point of consideration in a staff decision.

I'm getting quite tired of everything being questioned, everyone assuming they are experts in every decision being made. Its getting old quite fast. We make decisions based on our best judgements, often discussing large impacting decisions with several staff members first. You are welcome to report anything you may believe to be unjustified use of GM privileges to the petition forum or Nilbog and myself, but this would only be in situations where you believe a GM did not act as they are instructed so, and an investigation may occur, but do not think that this suddenly privies you to all information associated with any decision. I realize that the environment for our community is a little more open than such organizations as SOE Itself, with more direct involvement in the community by the developers, but there are certain ways things need to be handled, and they wont always be agreed on by everyone, but thats how it is in any scenario. Many of us, including myself, do not play on the server. That means we spend all of our time working to better the server, and handling the issues that arise. We make decisions based on our best judgement, with no favoritism for any play character connections, so you will have to trust in our opinions for the health of the server.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled, un GM-related, flaming and asshatery.
