"Rebellion" - Please read fully.

[JoelJCE]

I meant more of a broad view on why people got mad at staff in the first place a long time ago.

I think it all stems from one or two wrong decisions made by a Staff member. People started throwing the word "corruption" around a few months back and now every ban/demotion it seems that more and more people are jumping on the "screw-all-the-Staff bandwagon". It's a shame, really.

If I'm on the right page here, to have stopped all this was to remove all clans from the blacklist.

AGREED OMG FINALLY.

I was hoping someone was going to say that. The past two months of AU Phoenix before it went on hiatus was not fun at all. I always felt like the staff was looking over us, waiting for one of us to make a mistake. In those past two months we had 2 spies in our chat releasing information that we said in our skype chat to Dave. One of those spies I actually trusted and considered a friend before this happened. This ended up Blakew447's VIP to be removed and team sypher to become blacklisted before it became EU Phoenix.

We were constantly given false hope that we might be unblacklisted one day but after our 3 month probation, we apparently failed and had to do another three month probation. The fact that Phoenix was blacklisted in the first place was quite silly in my opinion. We were blacklisted for being a division of the forgotten and once we left the forgotten that blacklist remained there for 8 months.

Majority of old members from Phoenix are considered blacklisted players. This means that any clan we join therefore becomes blacklisted. Is that fair? In no way possible is it fair. I liked the staff and was happy that we had such a great staff team, but I was almost forced to dislike them, seeing them trying to disband Phoenix or at least keep us quiet (even though we were doing close to nothing against the staff).

This Is how I saw the staff whilst being in Phoenix. Is annoys me that some of us are so disadvantaged in our future of MCSG because of these unfortunate events. Whenever a Phoenix member acted against the staff , it was mainly to do with the blacklisting.

I would go into more detail (If I did I would name events which is against the rules) and honestly not thinking about posting this at all, but I feel like I needed to put some word in.

Your "opinion" will only get deleted if (Kind of repeating KRiad's comment) it has no meaning, it is not constructive in anyway and is only stated to start flame or a mass demonstration or the alike. Or if it gives out sensitive information/ confidential information.

In all honesty the whole "state your opinion and get banned" situation is extremely annoying and untrue. People complain saying that they cannot state there opinion but this is not true, we would really like to have your guys opinion but in the right manner. When stating "your opinion" (If it is suitable for public. you should make it so it is constructive and can actually lead to something helpful. You should remain mature and avoid any slanderous comments that will only lead to flame and hate. If you want to state your opinion on something that is sensitive (Such as a ban or if it is against a member of staff ) that could cause a back lash then you should so privately with a member of staff.

I don't plan to do a mass demonstration or what not as stated above. I was just putting my opinion on the situation and should not be deleted. No flame or hate intended.

Those are minor details, yet the whole story could take ages to write. If you know these three people and have common sense, I'm sure you can come to a conclusion that is semi-correct ^_^.

Meh let them rebel, if they're stupid, which they seem to be so far, they'll just end up getting themselves banned. Unless they're ddosing or something similar it is more like a mob of fangirls... Meh

Staff can, for the most part, keep their cool when dealing with situations. There are attention-seekers out there who try to provoke them into doing things out of the ordinary, so they can feel acknowledged as an influential figure. The fact that most staff are just walking FAQs can annoy those types of people. If you ask them where the report page is, they will link it. If you ask them about an unfair ban, they'll always say the old "if you believe you were unfairly banned" message. I can kind of see from the community's point of view, in a few examples. If someone has legitimately been unfairly banned, and they've been denied several disputes, they might turn to a mod for urgent help, begging them for some advice on what they can do, and the mod would reply with the same message as always. This is likely that this is the kind of behavior that drove people to believing in some sort of corruption, and it just escelated from there. What can we do to fix it?

If Mods could try to be unique, maybe it's the way they respond to report abuses, or their ability to compromise in-game instead of always doing what the text tells them to, the staff would probably be looked at more positively.

And players, if they could once in a while step back and think, "what's it like for the mod?", your considerate behavior would be almost certainly rewarded. If you respect Mods, they will respect you, and vice versa.

Sure, unfair bans will happen all the time. No staff member is perfect. But people should try to build bridges between the staff and the community when it happens, not walls. They are always available to compromise with, and being friendly and considerate towards them just as they try to be to you, that will achieve more than any rebellion could hope to.

Not another Damn rebellion... they never work these people need to learn they don't work. I practically killed one by myself. They. Don't. Work.

It's been outlined in MCGamer's rules for at least the past year that joking about cheating will result in a ban. This isn't something that's just suddenly started happening.

Thank you sir, people can just not get their head around this for some reason.
