Like I said, I have adminship of the server. The only thing that would be difficult is to alter forum stuff. I can easily change power levels for the server. But I won't.

Dear GMs: please stop having discussion with players. Just do your job with barebone minimum communication imaginable.

If there are complaints about your actions, naturally you should not handle them. You're not objective towards complaints about you.

IMO we should have the people who appoint the GMs handle the feedback regarding the GMs.

So Dimond, obviously having a problem with TMW, stirs up a 'revolution' and as the responsible long time players you all are, you of course ask her to settle down and behave. The last thing you do is throw fuel on the fire causing grief for anybody.

That _could_ have been the end of it, I'm mostly surprised no one owns up to the fact that they obviously enjoyed the drama and either passively let stand by or even that they slightly encouraged it.

So when a GM breaks it up with short bans to restore order, they are the idiots with bloated egos?

Someone needs to look into a mirror here, and its not only the GMs.

These bans were obvious abuse of power for self-gratification.

TMW has a serious problem: Egos. Volunteer open-source project or not, anyone who lets their ego get in the way of their professionalism needs to take a step back and rethink their motivation for being involved in the project.

Let cooler heads prevail. It should be very obvious by now that some changes need to be made.

I agree, but I doubt we agree on the changes

Heh... well um... Personally I didn't really care but it was so interesting after all that I couldn't help but stir it up even more.
Though I'm sorta glad I did. I don't really like how things are going in TMW right now. Things need to change.

As GMs we need to be able to cope with criticism of any kind.

That's all I have to say right now.

This matter needs to be discussed "internaly".

The GM's need to be emotionally ready for anything and not take anything to heart. But obviously them 2 took it to heart and abused thier powers.

my char Nerdiando was banned for "nothing"!!!
no spamm, no bot, no hack account. only because one GM want to F*** your game.

things need to change here.

Pretty sure you were banned for hacking using logins from your server to take over accounts in TMW. But I only tell this because you keep insisting you did nothing wrong..

The same could be said for some of the players on here, who seem to think TMW is their personal battlegrounds for acting out. I would appreciate it if those people dropped the drama, got serious and sat down and calmly explained exactly in detail what it is they are so unhappy about. Then we can all judge if there is something about it.

Simply acting out because "one believes to be in the right" is very immature, and leaves the rest of us without a shred of a chance to evaluate if there is anything about it. So please, without drama, anger and grief, explain in details and facts exactly what it is you think is wrong with TMW, so we, the readers, have a chance to give some qualified input.
