I really regret having to do this.
As the head nurse on the _asylum_ sometimes I have to do things that make me sad.
as evidenced by mutliple polls as well as numerous petitions and emails I have received, it is perfectly clear that the MAJORITY of you do not wish to have
fluorinefrenzy as your nurse. As I have always stated, we are simply here to make this a safe and welcoming place for you all, which it is clearly not right now. It is therefore, necessary that I remove fluorinefrenzy as a nurse.
as if your thoughts are not valid enough, I want to give a bit more of my own reasoning behind this:
-This was not a full on suprise for her. I had let flourine in on the happenings on the nurse station asking her to clear all this up DAYS BEFORE before anything went public, yet she did not take my lead and clear this up before it led to more drama on the community. We simply CANNOT have drama coming from the staff anymore.
-I am continually grateful for all of her hard work on the layouts, but you know.. I update the site 3 X a week, answer numerous email/IMs/Common room gatherings from all of you daily and comment on just about EVERY entry that gets posted.. PLUS I found time to create a valentine generator. I had asked Flourine to do the "rabbit hole day" so that she could do a community project that wouldnt be a flop. I have presented everything I could to ease flourines frustrations and get her back into posting on here without worry..not to mention I been waiting for her on IM for a few hours to talk this thru before I posted, but alas, she hasnt come. The staff needs to be active and helpful members of the community.
-With that said, there is proof of verbal abuse on her latest post comments. I am sorry, but if you are part of the staff, no matter WHAT your opinion is, you do not have the right to call someone judgemental names. it is part of being a mod that we keep neutral and keep grievances out of the community.
-Likewise, up until this point, people ONLY get banned IF there is a community vote. She banned eviltera without consent of the staff nor posted a poll about it. No one on the staff has this right. not even me.
so it is with heavy heart that I must do what I think is best for our community. I hope this helps you all to understand that I ONLY want us to have a happy, healthy community and things like this put me in a position where I have to make hard choices. In the end, the best interest of the community will win every time over my own thoughts & opinions.
Next up:
some community announcements:1.please feel free to comment HERE about this. I understand that this has been hard on all of you and I regret that we all had to go thru this. BUT, we are here. voice whatever you need to HERE. If you dont want to read any more drama, plase do not read the comments.
2. any FURTHER posts on this issue will be deleted. This issue is getting too drug out. It is not healthy for it to continue any longer.People who continue to drag this out will be put into seclusion until next week (meaning, I will take away your posting privileges till next week).
3. In the future, there will be more staff added on. I am going to make it so that there is ALWAYS someone available for you to talk with if you need it-- likewise, there will ALWAYS be someone here to delete triggering things that are obvious spam, and someone able to catch drama as it starts so it never gets this far again. Lets face it, I cant be here 24/7. no one can. THIS is why we have a GROUP staff, not just one mod. this is SUPPOSED to be a fun helpful place. I aim to keep it this way.
4. I will be posting an application for new staff. once we get a solid group together, we will be changing the way we do grievances here. the poll thing causes too much drama, I think. Please be patient as we hammer out the details for a better way. Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome, because, after all, this is YOUR community. all the staff is here for is to make sure it runs smoothly and to help you out.
