Putting "upset with staff" Threads in inappropriate forums

[Brian the Automator]

I would ask that you put disagreements with site policy in THIS forum instead of in another forum in an attempt to gain perceived visibility. The staff reads this forum especially closely, and will work out any grievances here or via PM if it's more of a one-on-one thing. Otherwise, the message is that your grievance or suggestion is more important than someone else's.

Brian-
I totally understand your feelings on this, but this kinda cracks me up. Most of the posters whose threads get locked start them because they think their opinion/wit/sarcasm will be overlooked in the vent/IGT/appropriate thread. They need the attention, and feel that their slightly different take on an argument warrants a new topic. Afterall, they are not venting, they are expressing their displeasure with a team in order to relieve stress. When these cries for attention are locked, the only logical response is to start a thread complaining that their creativity is being stifled, and that the mods are obviously Nazi/powerhungry/meanies who patrol the forums looking for insightful conversation to stymie. Asking them to follow a simple set of rules is impossible, as if they were able to do this, there wouldn't be a problem in the first place. Remember, this is only the website you developed, and it is not up to you and your team to decide what is right or wrong. Apparently you guys haven't read the amendment in the US Constitution that deals directly with brewerfan.net. I know I am not an All-Star poster here, and stay out of most of the heated debates, but I have enjoyed this site for the past few years tremendously. It seems like nowadays people aren't happy if we are winning or losing, so the ML forum is about unbearable for me.
Please forgive the misplaced vent (oh the irony), but apparently no one reads this forum anyways. This wasn't directed at any post/poster, just an ugly trend I have noticed of late.

rwa12, you win the unofficial 1992casey post of the week award. Consider that an honor. I usually give it to Geno. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

Excellent work.

What about "deeply and passionately in love with staff" posts? Can I just put those anywhere?

SeriesFinale, we'd prefer that they all be localized here so that we can admire them and bask in their praise more easily.
