Members- The backbone of the site, without whom the site would be useless. Old members, new ones, the ones who keep coming back after years of absence... They all matter. Staff- Appointed by owner/administrator of the site to help other members and keep the site clean and tidy. In other words, they're here to serve the users of the site. Staff-user relationship- It seems that most users are not too happy with a handful of staff here. The same few staff are being pointed the finger at by many users. Either for their lack of efficiency or friendliness. And certain staff happen to use their tools for the wrong reasons or are not aware of what they're supposed to do. Moving topics to wrong forums, closing topics for all the wrong reasons,etc. And then there are fantastic staff! Who are very friendly and ever so willing to help us. However... There are such few of them around here... As some others have been removed from staff list for petty matters and the other good 'fellas' don't even want to be on staff! Perhaps ... Since this is an international, multi cultural site, we need staff who are more fluent in English. Watch out for my next topic to find out why!
