I think this is a gross exaggeration. FK's staff aren't Nazis, and whilst I KNOW I'm going to be slammed for being a d-rider or whatever other term you feel fit to associate with me, I'll express my opinion. I've never had issues with any of the staff, and I speak with McLovin quite regularly, as well as Chill and Ocean when they were staff. Bend has always been easy to speak to in my book, and Philly was always polite to me. I never really spoke to Jason, but even Gr33d, with whom I've had limited interactions, has been friendly. Jimmy is always nice to me as well, I really don't see how them closing threads or otherwise doing their jobs warrants rant threads. Just my opinion. On the matter of character evading - is it even that big of a deal, honestly? If your post is less than even 50 characters, it's probably either a bump or a useless post.
Off-topic: You're no "d-rider." You're just another user that can focus on and appreciate what the staff team members do rather than focusing on their mistakes. Appreciation keeps the forum team motivated. Oh, yeah, you and I must have spoken to you at some point because I had one of your awards prior to the server change and forum backup.
On-topic: I agree that you should be able to repute the forum team, although staff should not be provoking behavior to receive a negative reputation. They are here to help; however; there is something they are doing for you to want to repute them negatively. I believe any issues or "grudges" could be resolved with a few private messages. Some users should give it a try. It is recommended you do so in
this help doc. No one's asking you to be friends with staff, but you may be able to at least work out your issues with them. Be neutral.
As for the 25-character limitation: I was a moderator for a few months an I was had no post count limitation restrictions, but I always chose to post more than 25 characters. Every time. It's a personal preference; not all staff members character evade. It is what it is, their character limitation is lifted for a reason. I agree to a certain extent, following the rules of the site in which you are moderating should apply despite your staff position. It's common courtesy. In the end, it's not that big of a deal, honestly.

Specific example (not naming staff):
http://www.forumkorner.org/post-1164133.html The entire topic of the thread is to name your dream alias. That being said, how does that warrant something more than a one word reply? I was given a warning for say exactly what I wanted to say about the topic and didn't have to use more than a word. Granted, I did use transparent text as filler to get pasted the character restriction but if you don't want that used on your forum, remove it. My argument being that it is unsightly and a waste of memory to say anymore that need be on a topic.
The ignorance within this post is immense. You acknowledged the 25 character and you are also presenting the fact that you purposely character evaded. Read rule #2 of forumkorner's
rules and policies. This is another useless attempt to criticize staff. You're at fault.
Sorry if I came off strong.
