It's that I advocated for changes on these forums, made several well thought-out arguments, garnered a consensus among the posters here, and then Cheridan doesn't just push back, he shuts down any hope of change with bans/threats/Github authority while simultaneously demonstration 0 fucking interest in what anyone here has to say. This neuters the effectiveness of this forum and creates another filter between the community and coders when you have to walk up to their front doorstep where Cheridan has absolute authority about what dialogue can take place, and essentially beg them to do something. This isn't an accident, this is the way that Cheridan has consolidated his power and he's more than happy to raise a giant middle finger to this forum as part of that process.
The original pull request had a fair discussion and it was shot down. It wasn't "Cheridan didn't like the idea", it was literally "nearly every contributor disliked the idea". I don't really know what else to tell you. Sometimes changes you don't like are going to happen and changes you want won't happen. There's just no way for everyone to agree on stuff like this.
"You are playing a game where you are not fully in control of everything. You will be put into situations beyond your control, which will result in some rounds being ruined for you. Man up and deal with it. "
And in any case, complaining that this forum's effectiveness is ruined is a bit of a stretch considering Cheridan (and many other contributors) don't use this forum at all. Which, yes, is a bit of a shame, especially since it's been really good for the past half year

That's why I've left this thread open and unmoderated for so long, to give people a non-Singulo public opportunity to make their feelings known so everyone knows where everyone else stands so maybe we can resolve this shit. I mean, I doubt we will, but you gotta try, right?
