I'm gonna be honest--and thanks, current forum mods, for letting us all voice our opinions like this. I'm still used to posts/threads getting deleted/edited if it disagreed with whatever a staff member said or did. That issue in itself is indicative of a place less about bringing 'magic' and more about gaining/maintaining a false sense of 'power.'
This whole controversy is just a huge load of he said/she said, he did this/she did that. Literally: "Said person did this. Said person did that."
This didn't actually clarify anything for anyone, and actually just added more confusion and uproar. If that was the goal--great. It's been achieved. Maybe you guys are just buying time to figure out what to do. That's fine too.
However, I've noticed that the biggest issue with this whole game has always been a lack of communication between staff and the community. I understand and agree that there needs to be some separation between the two. I'm not saying the players need every bit of insight into what the staff is doing, or even a say in end results, but at least an explanation on how decisions came to be and are determined would be nice, at least. That would provide the bit of transparency and honesty that I think this entire community desperately needs and has needed for a really, really, long time.
While I do think Kali needs to step down, I doubt that's going to happen. Absolem made it clear in her post that we have our opinions, but not a say in the matter. It's Amy's call, but I still think an explanation for promoting two staff while firing one for the same offenses is necessary. But, let's be real. They'll probably 'step down' or 'quit' and we'll get the same staff member under a new alias.
All in all, if we get a say in who our president is I'm not sure why we can’t have a say in who’s staff on a blasted game. What's the point of democracy then? What's the point of saying it’s MyVMK, when it's clearly not ours?
