REWORK for the Academy. Is it needed or not?

Yura, I respect you.

Konstantin, I respect you too, which is why I offer constructive criticism.

But let's not have you tell me what to do; I really don't like that.

That's a mistake. Those who stop learning also stop developing and begin to regress. This applies to players, hosts, and moderators alike.

When a questionable situation arises, we shouldn't get defensive; instead, we should start thinking and perhaps ask others for their opinions. And we shouldn't take fair criticism personally.

Oh, you scared me; oh, I'm so afraid. I've always said, and I'm saying now, that if the forum doesn't need what I'm doing, I'll gladly step down. I think any moderator could say the same. What we do doesn't give us any privileges, but it does create a lot of hassle.

But there's no need to play the role of the offended innocent. If you're involved in something, it means you enjoy it for some reason. If you didn't enjoy it, you wouldn't do it. You need a rather specific situation to use this as an excuse (see John Silver), and such situations are quite rare.

You'll keep arguing with DaU that your thread about experience isn't trolling.

I'm not denying that it's trolling. It's just a way of conveying my thoughts to the community. And it's been continued by Heroes13 and DaU, and they weren't trolling; they were serious.

This is a clear illustration of the point I made a few pages ago: if we allow the possibility of changing the gameplay of SoD, there will be no shortage of people wanting to change something. And it will be difficult to fend them off. For example, the idea of underground lava is very good, and we could easily get enough votes to include it in a release (not now, of course).

Also, you shouldn't be lecturing us about forum rules (which you probably haven't even read), because if you strictly followed them, you would have already accumulated enough violation points for a permanent ban.

And I'm not the only one. That's why strictly following the forum rules isn't practiced; they are replaced by concepts and customs.

P.S. If at least 2-3 people write in the forum or on ICQ that one of these topics is useful and needed, I will immediately restore it.

Safety regulations for handling the administrative stick state that you should consider the opinion of the public before swinging it, not after. Because a bad aftertaste will remain in any case.
