Kaylee is such an old moderator that CypriotMerks cannot remove the rank for it being too old.

he can remove the rank, seniority does not prevent you from being demoted.

Add "is" between everything and wrong, and you got it about right. Now go get a life instead of complaining about online forums, nerds ;>

a rank is a rank.
there is no permission of seniority, a player who has been mod for 1 week has the same rank as one who has been mod for 2 years.
anyone can be demoted, if they deserve it.

I can't read

Kaylee isn't counted as a moderator

So, two things.

If you've wanted me to reply to something, then probably notify me about it somehow, I haven't been paying attention much.

Added a certain thing in a spoiler. Click it for yourself. Some have disagreed with there being corruption with the staff team, inside the spoiler may not be corruption per se, but it's a decent example of how some of them are decently rude.
And yes, I do know who the ban was from, you can refrain from informing me.

You know, I've been holding all of this in for.. Well, I don't know how long, only been telling people about parts of it when no one's watching, but I can't really hold this in anymore, and since I have no use for forums in general at this point, I figure that I should post this now, or else I'll never get around to it.

Let's start, shall we?

So, let's start with the crap wrong with the forums.
There's a lot.
Okay, I'll just make lists to make this prettier. Or I wont. Depends on how lazy I am. Guess I will.

Bias. The forums is so stupidly biased against so many things, which leads me into this next one..
Friend group only(ish). Seriously, look around the forums. Almost all of you are too blind to everything wrong with forums, and so nearly none of you (There's a small amount of exceptions) are willing to post anything that MIGHT EVEN SLIGHTLY make someone think less of you, much less give a negative rating.
NEGATIVE RATINGS.
OH NO.
But, almost no one here says what they actually think, and thus the forums is a blind place of where everyone is too scared to get a bad reaction (Try and look around the forums for a post regarding Cyp that doesn't kiss up to him. I dare you) from anyone they know, and most are afraid of being "kicked out", so to speak, of their little base of friends to say anything that they truly feel.
Mod love. Now, don't get me wrong, I like most of the staff team, and liking the team, being nice to them, is okay. After all, they keep the peace.
But lots of you take it to a much higher level.
Look around, people kiss up to the mods almost as much as they do to Cyp. It's insane, frankly, and I honestly think that most of you are doing it just so the mods might put a good word in with Cyp so that you can get mod.
Mod tryhards. Holy crap, now none of you can disagree with me on this, and if you are, either you're literally blind, or you're metaphorically blind, in the way that I stated on the second bullet on this list. Anyway, the forums AND in game is FILLED with tryhards for mod. Here's a good example; when I joined forums, back in.. What, late 2014? Early 2015? I dunno. But anyway, my profile was empty for a loong time. Basically until late 2015, or mid 2015 from my Hellblock buds. Now, go look on a new member's profile. It's filled with "Hello! Welcome to the forums! If you have any questions, make sure to send them to me! ". Does that not scream "I'M TRYING REALLY HARD FOR MOD HERE MAN"? Because to me, it does.

There's a bit more, but I'd be getting into things with specific people, and I don't want to sever too many relationships (I mean, I really don't care, I don't keep contact with nearly anyone on forums, so I'd happily cut most forum friendships without a care in the world. But meh), as well as I don't want to get banned on forums for rudeness.
Meh.
Anyway, on to the actual servers. I'd do net in detail, but I don't play net much, and thus I can't make a comprehensive list out here.

But that won't stop little ol' Goden from trying, will it now?

Mod tryhards. I'm putting this here again, because it's most obvious on net. The chat is FULL with people asking if anyone needs help, and people spamming the chat with answers to the same question.
Let the mods answer the questions more maybe, it's their job to do it. I mean, if no mods are on, by all means, help the dude, but if there's a mod, and if it's not afk, it's that mod's job to answer questions and help out, not the player's.
Pay to win. Net is one of the biggest pay-to-win servers that I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of servers. On net, it's impossible to find a non-donor that's richer than a Skygod. Unless that skygod gave away his/her riches, or just used them. Kits are too op, and people shouldn't be spending $400 on a minecraft server anyway (coughcoughStelcoughcough). It's a block game. You could buy a god damn month's meal for starving children in Africa with $400.
Hell, you could probably buy half of the ramen to last you through four years of college with $400.

Yeah yeah, not a big list, whatever.
On to org, where I know stuff.

Mod tryhards.. ish.. There isn't so many on org, but there are some. There are even some who migrate from Net just to try for a mod tag here, hoping that with a smaller playerbase they have a bigger chance. Again, it's not too big on org, but it's there.
Mod inactivity. Lord almighty, the mod inactivity is strong on Org. Now, Fintan, I don't want to hurt your feelings mate, but I thought of you as an example first, and I figure I should use that then.
From what I've heard, a month after Sakura got SMod (A bit more I think actually), Fin told her congrats. One month. Either you're oblivious as hell, or you're inactive. It's one of the two, and I don't think it's the first one. But anyway, there are also mods that haven't been on for over two months (There's three or four I think), and on Net, there's that one N.. idk, three letters, then numbers, but he's been gone for forever, and because his comp is broken. Demote him and promote him when he's back maybe?), and that's just not okay. Org is running out of signs for the mod column, and the mod column hosts about two active mods. In fact, Org is home to two active supermods, and about three active mods, depending how you look at it.
It's pitiful.
Pay to win. This aspect is still here, though it's a bit more even because of the smaller economy. There's two people on Org who used to be non-donors when they first became rich (Being frank and Sonnung), then they both got donor. There's some others, but org mainly has donors making money.
The economy itself. Grinding needs nerfed, prices need raised, and so much more. You can get over one million in a day from just grinding, and that does not stack well at all for the economy.

Again, there's more, but laziness.
Now, there's tons more I could list, but I don't have all day here, and I got one and a half hours of sleep last night, so this was probably the wrong day to do this. Oh well.
Take this how you want though, I don't really care, take offense, don't take offense, that doesn't change things at all, and things probably wont change. Skyblock has been in a slow decline for about a year and a half now, with the playerbase growing slowly smaller, and eventually it'll be gone.

Corruption is great, isn't it?

But hey, that's just my opinion.

-Final note here, rate this negative if you want, I don't care, but remember one thing for me if you do.
Rating it negative only proves my point.
You're blind.

Stuff that I've stuck in goes here-

I also have to admit the ban appeal help is dissapointing. I cleared the chargeback almost a week ago now and have been trying to get unbanned constantly and all the staff just keep saying "Talk to Cyp" over and over no body is doing much of anything else.

Delete one of those posts if you wouldn't mind, it doubled. But yeah, I don't see Cyp doing much regarding that, just try getting him to change a Skygod prefix. From what I've seen, it's.. complicated.. to say the least..

We can work on the forums as a community, by communicating to each toher, listening to each and showing others love. Sure we may not know each other, but we know that each other is human. Humans deserve to know their mistakes so they can fix. We can do this 3
