OK A) We do not think we are better then you. If you had heard the number of times Uesugi had told me his writing was shit(Sorry for swearing) you wouldn't be saying that. The thing is we were givin these positions, and I at least have no idea what to do, sorry for trying our best.
B) A dictatorship? How is this a dictatorship! We haven't acted like dictators in any way! So reforming and renewing the importance of ranks makes this a dictatorship?
C)Since you are a Mod that would technically make you a part of this dictatorship.

So basically raist its just a system controled by three teens who think they are better than every one else. And is slowly turning into a dictatorship. But who really cares what they think. At least those two any way. So if Death had handed you your ranks, Blood, would you still be complaining? Something inside me screams no. In fact, I am going to address this to everyone, because everyone gets to be included right now: this is the for once and all: Few of you read anything that is written, and even then your reading on here is sparse and limited. You have no idea if Dagoth, Me, and I are capable of even judging you. You, however, seem to think that we don't have that right... Why don't you go and read? Read every story on the whole site. You'll notice a certain degree of difference between yourself and a lot of writers. Some may be worse than you, but, oh my, some may be better. Some may just be capable of telling how much you write, how good it is, how often you comment, and how useful those comments happen to be. Until you can read all of that, notice the differences between each and every one of us, I'd suggest, just suggest, to perhaps trust that we know what we're talking about. Because, I am almost certain, if you read it all, you'd agree. Edit: Changed my ending, and removed all the "bloody"s...

If leadership is so much of an issue, then we could always vote on it.

I said you were a dictatorship, perhaps in haist i'll admit now, because of this little numer you pulled me.
But i was a little pissed from this whole thing last night. I guess i can understand your logic, tho i don't agree with it.

Its a writing site, what else are we going to rank you on?

you can hardly judge people solely on writing here anymore. I mean the highest ranked member of the site doesn't even write any more. Its not just a writing site any more.

Your saying that we should just accept that?

So, because one member hasn't written anything that he has posted on here (remember, Death has been working on a book), we shouldn't judge anything based off writing talent, Blood? What would you have us do then? Judge talent with talking, socializing, chatting, laughing? Just because one member no longer writes on here, though he writes elsewhere, this is no longer a writing site, Blood? Basing an entire site around the status of one member, where he is and what he is doing is a bad idea.

Both sides have a point here. If we're based off writing, then it doesn't seem fair to have our highest ranked member not be a writer. However, he is writing elsewhere, a book even. But should that count? If I write many a fantasy epic, but don't post them, would I be able to rise in rank?
But I don't think we should demote Death. He provides good advice where I have seen him post, and the stories he writes have always been my favorites.

Death wrote when he was on, and I think we can all agree that they were amazing pieces. Thus, he wrote (and posted it on the site) when possible, so I think that could suffice for 'writing a lot', as one can't post stories if he isn't on.
He was also a good commenter, he read when he could . He is a staff member, so reading was not his only priority. Keeping the site in good health was also a priority. You don't need a newsletter to tell you going on, you can find most news in the News board. Most important issues are adressed there, so sending a PM every week or few days was pretty uneseccary.
I do not think it fair for you to critique us on how we do not live up to your expectations as us being mods. I was a bit angered at this... Uesugi has already adressed this, but there is a burning desire in me to re-adress this. How is it fair that you can say these things about us when we haven't seen a skin from you in a while? You are skin designer after all. Most of these 'skins' on here are... rubbish, to be mild (however your most recent skin was pretty good). I do not meen this as an insult... I guess I meen that you could also be modifying this skins as well. Most have all images that are hotlinked as well... so that could be worked on.
I, for one, and I think I speak for Me and Uesugi, do not think of us superiror to you in terms of writing. I hate my writing actually, or a lot of it. That's why you don't see much updates from me anymore, because I start on an update, I re-read it and think 'This is crap.' I will never think myself superior of you all, even if I was (which I'm not).

Wow I missed a hell of a good conversation.. and my name was used many times. Although I hope this is all something that is over and done with, if anyone still has issues with the ranking system, let me know. I think I just may have the best solution possible.
