Staff shuts a new player down when they talk about this being their final character because of the arrogance of players and the fact that you can't criticize staff: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,48671.0.html

"didnt realize this was nazi germany where you couldnt' critisize the government here." from the newbie's first post in the thread.

"No one is really interested in taking criticism seriously...(posting of the game rules)...I am now going to lock this thread because there is no question being asked." - Nergal, from the post where it was locked.

Hey guyz, we need new playerz, vote!

New players come.

New players speak about the fact that you can't criticize anything without sugar coating it.

A plethora of responses about how the people are justified and also staff VOLUNTEER (just like on all non-iron-realm muds, as far as I know, big fucking whoop)

And staff locks it, after starting with telling you that no one's going to take your thoughts seriously, and btw this isn't a question so I'm locking it.

Jeez.. wonder why they can't hold onto more than 1% of newbies?

To put it back into context since Anaiah edited out the pertinent part, the first post in that thread was:

wow no freedom of speech, didnt realize this was nazi germany where you couldnt' critisize the government here.

and Nergal responded:

No one is really interested in taking criticism seriously when you start off by comparing staff to Nazis.

So, it's not that they're not interested in taking criticism seriously. They are. But comparing staff to Nazis is not the appropriate way to give criticism, and doesn't deserve serious interest.

Also in the other thread that Talia closed down, it was revealed that this guy isn't really new. He only pretended to be new in order to garner sympathy.

I would have locked the thread, too.

Of course, it would be after issuing about eight temporary forum bans to people for antagonizing an already upset newbie. It was a poor showing, even for the GDB. It was a worse showing by Nergal, though. Not only did he fail to give the newbie a reason to reconsider his opinion and not give up on the game, he reinforced the opinion that the staff don't have a care in the world for him or his feedback on his experiences with the game.

Report it, newbie, we'll look into it in a fair manner. Sure, Nergal. Sure. Just like you handled the thread, right?

You might as well have slammed the door in his face.

And the new guy posting is probably an asshole. But yeah legendary hit the nail on the head. ZERO fucking interpersonal skills by staff right here.

The other thread that had already been responded to by Talia, had already revealed him as a non-newbie. It was an alt account of someone who was not new.

Pretty much.

New or old, the complaint was that you couldn't speak out against the staff/policy/vets, in any sort of criticism. Which is answered by literally a string of posts by staff and veteran players alike quite quickly proving him right, then outright silencing him via a lock. Good job, way to prove the guy wrong.
