I believe there is a lack of communication with all the staff. (not really the new ones, since I haven't discussed with them). I've talked to different staff about the same problems and it doesn't seem like they communicate or anything. Anytime I pm a moderator or admin I'm given a snarky reply or no reply at all and when I ask if they are going to reply to my PM I'm given another snarky remark. I've been given multiple warning for "publicly criticizing staff members", well if a staff member isn't going to reply to my PMs how am I supposed to get the situation handled or know it's handled?
Some of the mods I've talked to have favorites as well. The other day someone was harassing me on one account, then got on another and I asked if they knew it was a different account, in which they responded that moderation was none of my business. However, a week earlier I received information that the same staff member was sharing information about rules I've broken and their actions against ME with someone I had a "feud" with. Another time I was being attacked by someone here and I sent a report in and the staff member did nothing about it because they were friends with the person doing it. (I saw them in the thread several times and no posts were removed until another administrator stepped in HOURS later) I think there are tons of problems in the forum staff department with different admins/staff. It's not my job to go and PM a different moderator about another(I've tried), because they're all friends and will stand by each other no matter what and when I made threads similar to this one without naming names I'm given infractions.
I personally don't think Amy should be condoning the way private messages/complaints/reports are handled by giving the forum staff in-game ears and other features if they have them. If Amy wants to let these type of things slide then there doesn't need to be any correlation,tie-ins, etc with the game and forums. I know that's a whole different discussion/rant but I think it ties in to the most important thing of this whole community, the game.
