I want to break down this blog post because I'm bored and because I think there's some serious misgivings provided by the post.
It is.
Staff is 10 members strong, excluding myself. 4 women, 6 dudes. I don't think the women have beards currently, I haven't asked. There's also plenty more women whom I'm sure find error within your statements, as well as many more peaceful, not hateful people who enjoy role-playing here.
When has this ever happened? Whenever this happens, people usually respond with "well if you can be on our planet killing stuff, we will respond to you IC." To me, that's great role-play, and fun opportunities. And if Major Factions are bullying new members, I'd love to hear about it. And I probably would hear about it. There's not much that goes on here that I don't hear about.
We only cater to free-form para-posting role-play, or speed role-play.
Please ask any Staff member as to how I personally feel about bias and I'm sure you'll get the same answer.
Maybe not. But you're getting better. Stay the course.
I'm going to attempt to not dismiss this as easily as my peers, but you have to understand - this argument is very easily dismissable. Popularity is not a constant. It is very tangible. What do I mean by that?
A popular person wasn't always popular. They had to- at one point in time- attain popularity.
#StartedFromTheBottom
Capping ceremonies? Member of the Month? Factory Judges? Codex Judges? All of these are given to notable members of responsibility and maturity, but more importantly - we try to advance new blood first.
There's even solid rules keeping RPJ's in check for when they vote "no" for a new member to be advanced as a Force User. And even then, they can be overturned - and have been - in favor of advancing new blood.
You don't need to look any further than @Matsu Xiangu - a member who was very unknown but was promoted directly to Administrator - to know that the new blood is almost the ONLY thing I care about. As the Owner, new people are my primary goal. I'm not sure who in this community you accuse of "not caring about the little guy", but I hope it's not me. I am the number one proponent for self-preservation of SWRP - which is achieved by attaining and retaining new blood.
Oversimplification of a vast clique structure that will exist in any community no matter how big or small. Get used to it, it's reality. If I try to stop it, I will end up tearing this place down around us all.
Dude we have a whole forum devoted to making it extremely easy for Member Y to do this, so yeah, we do care: http://starwarsrp.net/forum/492-feedback-suggestions/

Chaos is what you want it to be.
So let's not treat it like high school and it won't be like high school.
