Seriously, this thread is sort of sparked off by @"gucci"'s thread that he was banned for. FK is just getting more and more strict, and the staff is getting worse as time goes on.
Let me start off by saying that Gucci's thread was aimed at us being abusive with our powers. I allowed his thread to be up because he had a right to express his views. Everyone was posting complete nonsense, so instead I moved it to the Spamming & Trolling section so I wouldn't have to warn or ban anyone. He then continued to disrespect me, the team, and Philly in a multitude of ways. That's what got him banned, not for posting a thread with his opinion about us. Anyone can do that. As for us getting more strict, I don't believe that's happening. We're enforcing the rules that we're told. We don't create any rules at all, it is solely up to Philly on why we should ban someone, warn someone, move a thread, remove a post, etc.
As for the "the staff is getting worse as time goes on." part, I cannot agree or disagree. I have only been here for 1 year and I haven't seen any corrupt staff members at all. When I joined it was the exact same Staff team which included Jason & Poe. Cann!bal was then added, then I was added, and Leader. I haven't experienced any of us being corrupt in any way possible. That would get us demoted INSTANTLY.
We went from having scammers, corrupt, and just ignorant people on staff to power hungry people. @philly you seriously need to do something about this.
You have no idea how hard we are all working to keep FK in good standing behind the scenes. We try so hard and dedicate endless hours and sometimes no sleep at all to help members recover their accounts, take care of reports, think of new things we can implement, testing things, taking care of hundreds of reports daily, etc.
- Like the upgrades, if someone wants to fucking pay more than it's worth let them, it's none of your concern.
I agree. I don't really mind about upgrades, but once again it isn't our decision.
- As for vouch copies, staff doesn't deserve them anymore then a member that joined yesterday. I know most of the stupid shit staff does offsite, and I've met more trustworthy people that had neg rep.
We don't receive every vouch copy for every eBook. We can only ask for vouch copies and receiving one and reviewing it would make the sales increase. Anyone is able to receive a vouch copy, just don't ask for one.
- The post boosting in private subforums, if it is a paid section of FK and you don't own it then you have no fucking say what goes on there. It's none of your business what they do in their own section of the site. If you didn't pay for it then leave them alone.
This could all be reversed if post count was not added in those forums, then we wouldn't have a problem. Sadly that won't happen. We are to moderate all forums, but Staff are not allowed into every group subforum. That is only for Philly! Post boosting will never be allowed in any forum on FK. (Besides S&T, since it doesn't count). We recently had to junk 3 threads containing 1,000 posts of complete bullshit. The user was spamming to win the FK Posting Contest.
- The word filters, seriously. Get the fuck over yourselves, when I say
and it appears as a goddamn rainbow it's common sense. And all terms as negro, that's fucking stupid. It's not like we are yelling white power and hanging people. We are simply talking to friends. Get rid of all that, someone takes offense to it yet I bet they say it as well.
A few of us are trying to get this removed.
- Choosing staff, I believe the FK community should be able to choose who becomes staff. Because most just abuse power and neglect their actual duties. I rarely see any staff member do their job well or help people.
That wouldn't work out. Philly chooses the Staff, and probably with some help from his team. By power abuse, do you mean take care of reports? If someone reports you for something, and we have to warn you, then don't complain and whine because you broke rules. All of us do our job well and help as many people as we can. It pisses me off that you say RARELY any Staff do their job. If you could do what we do for one day you'd understand how much we do. Don't assume by what you see.
- People's suggestions, I see some pretty damn good ones constatnly , but they never get implemented because 1 or 2 staff doesn't like it. Yet the whole damn site does. Then I see shit implemented that wasn't even told to us.
We have SO many new plugins lined up, don't think we're not going to make some drastic changes and implement some new shit. The reason they get closed is because they've been suggested before and suggesting it a second time would result in closure.
Yes, I do realize this will either be deleted, moved, or I will be banned. But it's worth it for the few people that actually do see it.

No, you have an opinion. Just like I do. You won't be banned, this won't be deleted or moved. Why are you acting like we can't take criticism? If there's something we do that you don't like, tell us.

I am not one to hop on band wagons, but I agree with Plague. MOST of FK's staff is corrupt.
Name them then? Speak to Philly? Don't whine on a thread about a select few of us being corrupt when you can report it and get it taken care of.
Another thing that I would like to mention, to the staff especially,
@Philly
@"Cann!bal"
@"GrƷƷd"
@Justice
@Leader
@Michael
@Narc
@"м¢ℓσνιη"
Let's be honest, you should just close sign up's for FK. 95% of all new members as of March 1st is a Multi accounter.
That would be absolutely absurd. We take care of so many multi accounts each day, just check the /bans.php page.
In my opinion, even though the forum team doesn't give a shit about members opinions, is that there should be another reset.
We don't give a shit about members opinions? If we didn't then the we would've junked this thread and banned you both. We're not the Government. We, and I, try so damn hard to make this place a better place. I try to think of new plugins every day to make you guys happy. Don't say we don't give a shit about your opinions, when that is the only thing that matters each and every day. That pissed me off.
The rep system is COMPLETELY horrible.
Award 4 Award, like seriously? Awards are to be earned, not bought or traded.
Not necessarily horrible. I'd like to see it change in amounts. -3/+3 for Onyx, -5/+5 for Power, -7/+7 for Power + would seem better.
As for awards, if you purchase them you can do whatever the hell you want with them. We just grant them.
Allow members to make public polls about what they want added to ForumKorner. This would make FK less dry.
What is this section for?
Again, the forum team might not give a shit about my opinions, but whatever.
No, we do.
