Hey! Finally, something we can agree on: You shouldn't have been promoted either.

If you want people to listen to your criticism, you need to make it workable and fair.
I don't find it unreasonable at all to expect a certain level of professionalism from the people that essentially get to decide if we get to continue playing here or not. Considering one of them had to resign in shame after angering the entirety of the community over a permaban made under false pretenses - and the other had a successful complaint levied against them recently due to their ego ruining someone's round - I don't think my judgements were misguided then, nor do I think they're misguided now.
Likewise, criticism doesn't always have to be workable. It is up to the person receiving the criticism to work with it - learning, adapting, and improving as a person. If they choose not to do so, and instead double down (as they have done in this very topic) on the things they've been criticized for and make excuses to justify them, then what business do they have in a position of power over others?
As it stands if what you and Aura said is listened to, and another extension is added with the supposed vagueness given last time, the next trial thread will be the same rodeo, and it will waste the time of everyone involved.
Agreed. This is why I believe the trial period should be terminated, not extended. They were given an extension. They were given a reason why. They refused to learn anything from it, and called out the very headmins that extended their trial for doing so. Nothing more needs to be said there.
