Inactivity or Staff?

[Yoda]

To me at least i at least try to restrain complaint to a minimum, the staff do great amounts of work and are volunteers and deserve our respect and praise for doing so.

as has been mentioned a few times in this thread about taking on new staff..

logistics for colibri and crew aside, I am shocked that anyone volunteers for this role ever, as you end up part psychologist, part vocational guidance counselor, part babysitter, occasional content creator.. all for no pay and the joy of knowing at best you are marginally resented.. sounds like a deal.

good job staff
+nyx hope your sickness disappears soon.

Of all people UO players should know…

Text communication is often misunderstood and it’s a horrible way to communicate anything with a shred of emotion. And, it's a game, it's free and that what makes this shard special is her owner and her volunteers. A couple of suggestions to anyone willing to listen…

* Compose your posts in a text editor, when done walk away, come back to it a few hours or a day later.

* Step out of your own shoes and into to those that you’re addressing. Seriously, try to understand who and where they’re coming from… be them. Ask yourself, how am I receiving this communication? Is this message and tone what I intended?

* If your message is or has the potential to be perceived as hostile use more emoticons, use question or open-end opinions/assumptions rather than direct statements.

This should be stickied as a guideline on how to make a thread
