I was looking for the message you sent me Ice where you said an admin needs to not react to insults from players and instead needs to rise above it. No knock on you Blue this just seems very much like different rules for different people. I do not know why I cannot find the message from you Ice did you erase it?
Hi Rice,
To answer your initial question, no I don't delete evidence. It is in our private conversations, one of the many we've had.
Since you would like to draw me out into the public space regarding what you see as "different rules for different people", allow me to address that for you:
Is it not fair that I grant any other Admin the same amount of chances I gave you to improve your conduct?
- Remember, I've spoken to you on quite a few occasions. Asking you to handle situations differently. Until they were no longer just a mistake, but an error that was not being corrected.
Is it not fair that I defend an Admin, mitigate the situation as best I can, whilst trying to appease the complainant and then privately speak to the Admin about the situation in question?
- I was never beating around the bush with you Rice, I was very honest about the fact that I've cleaned up after you a few times. Again, a very good reason as to why staff reports are private. It's hard being both "friend" and "HelloClan Leader" with staff members, give me some credit on that balancing act.
As an addition, is it not fair that I
choose to privately speak to the Admin about their conduct?
- I never draw internal matters out into the open, unless in such a case where it is done by someone else and it's simply unavoidable. I'd rather privately deal with the situation than have a debate publicly, thereby not insulting the staff member in question by making a public spectacle of it. That type of situation is also very unprofessional if it does spew out into the open. Yes...knock off one star on my review for typing this response. I've handled worse than a negative reviews.
I would like to think that this addresses your concerns about me Rice, but then again I can never keep everyone happy. Think of me what you wish you are entitled to your own opinion. I know I've done the right thing though, with both you and Blue, even if there is contention regarding it.
Regards,
Ice
