Well, some of you have noticed I haven't gotten on IRC for a couple of days. That's for two reasons. One, I can't go a few minutes without my back feeling like it's on fire, so I have to jump into the shower and boil myself to make it stop. That's not the main reason, but that's why I haven't been online at all much. Also not what I wanted to talk about in this post. As to why I'm not on IRC much anymore, I'm tired of the way the ops are treated. Some of you complain when we enforce the CoC. Others complain when we slack up on it. Then there are those who whine when I don't take time away from the web pages I'm making for you to talk about stuff I couldn't care less about. And those who want me to play babysitter the whole time I'm on holonet. And the ones that don't take me seriously when I speak out against something. I've had enough. I'm taking a break from you. I don't know when I'll be back, but don't be surprised if more ops take my idea and run with it. We're treated like dirt. It's not as if we get paid for it. ICs mean nothing to most of us. We put up with this crap for the pure enjoyment of making stuff for you... why? I've forgotten. See you around.. Or not.

But, Talon, the Vast Empire will crumble without your constructive criticism! And we sure can't survive without the real criticism. I hope your change of heart, if one comes, isn't too long in arriving. Until then, we will all sorely miss your presence.

I have a mixed view of IRC. I rather expect people while they are on IRC to be chatting not away, but I also know that a lot of people have things they need to do in a limited amount of time. Even I am guilty of my own crimes. But as I said I have conflicting views. I only go after ops when I think they are doing something wrong/bad, only rarely has it been over enforcing the CoCs one way or the other. So here is what I propose members of the Vast Empire:  We go ahead and cut the ops some slack because they do this for our benifit.  Sure without us they wouldn't even have anything either but we are more easily replaced then they are(I don't know about the rest of you but I can't afford to pay for a domain).  Now I expect some people to say what the heck, but you'll understand if you ever become an op on IRC. Sometimes the little people aren't the only ones who need a voice of support.

Well Talon, I would have to say I somewhat agree with you. As an administrator in FES chatrooms, and a former op in EH channels when I was in Hammer's Fist, I have seen and heard trash from people and fellow admins. When you be too harsh with a matter, you get critized. When you dont do anything your critized, and when your not on, like me, you still get critized. Well man, I plan on a long life of being critized for my actions, but heck, its why they invented the 'kick' For all the people giving the ops a hard time, I suggest you stop feeling that they are just there to boss you around. The point is they put in alot of time to make your time enjoyable. They worked their hard out on sites, events and gaining rank themselves. They were once in your shoes. The difference is, most of them havent put their superiors therough hard times, that is why they got the rank, the needed promotions and why they are now ops themselves. Being lazy and complaining about ops with a beer and your hand is not the way to deal with problems. Do the work, gain the rewards.

*applauds MAtok You know Matok, I have always liked you.  Just to be clear, I agree completely with Talon's statement.  I've been kicking the idea around in my head for quite awhile lately.  Most of you notice when I'm on, I'm afk all the time.  It gets tiring...
