I wouldn't say that. Tough decisions have to be made, and in a case like this you're going to anger a lot of people no matter what you do. If that's the case then maybe it's a good idea to hide it, or else events like these will become commonplace.

Oh, come off it, Raist. You of all people know that we'll never please everyone. If we make a big deal or even an announcement of any sort about any decision we make, drama will ensue.

There's a difference between "members questioning a decision" and drama. In this very rare case, there was drama.

I'm not saying to publicize everything. Members just don't need to know everything as they happen. You saw how I was against how FG publicized each banning. However, if a member asks something, I think it should be answered. There's no "for EoFF security" excuse for keeping information secret. If a member asks, "Hey, what happened with Kishi?" I'd expect for Staff to give him a summary of events. If no one asks, then no one cares.

Oh, if someone asks, sure. But I'm talking about Big D coming out and blatantly disregarding staff policy. Nobody asked him anything, he just went out and caused drama. THAT was not needed. Only caused trouble.

You can't accuse someone of "blatantly disregarding staff policy" and then turn around and do it yourself.

I dunno if things have changed since I left, but things written in a dusty old tome 10,000 years ago never had precedence over human judgment when I was on staff. Clearly, the rules were written without anticipating that a long-serving staff member who has always been a pillar of the community running afoul of a difference of opinion about what is acceptable. Like Ashi said in the other thread, it was Masamune Shirow artwork, not a bloody centerfold from Hustler. Hustler centerfolds were what the no-porn rule was meant to prevent. It was certainly never written with the intention of causing a big mothersmurfing witch hunt directed against one of the few people that has made EoFF shine since the first day he registered.
