Firstly ty Mr Mellow for your... well... rather mellow post. A nice change given recent times.
Ok. So the first point id like to make is this was, really, the last thing we wanted to have to do. Nobody in the Admin section who spoke about these recent issues were happy that im aware of, nobody felt this was how things should be done.
? Agreed. The ban of BTs is not good for the BL... there will be less cb's, less active members ect. At the same time
however i don't think its good for the BL for a clan to treat the Admins with such a blatent lack of respect for their decisions. IF there is no respect for decisions how can they in anyway control the BL?
? I would listen, i don't know what my reaction would be. I've been pretty hammered by some individuals for posting the group of Admins decision regarding this matter. I didn't agree to be an admin for the fun of it, to insome way treat some better than others... I did it becasue i wanted to do my bit to help the BL, to give my input and advice and, above everything else to HELP. To get the flaming, the abuse and the insults aimed both at myself and other admins is both upsetting and depressing.
I Spent as much of my time the other night in an effort to get some form of communication between BTs and -MP5- .. I wanted them to drop their issues and play a cb, be it in any form, for the sake of the BL.... i also felt i and other admins made it extreamly clear what the outcome would be if they would not listen. In fact in the admin forum eight posted a simple "and what if we dont play the cb" (not exact words)... several of us responded clearly informing him of what the options would be.
I don't expect an appology in any form... Because most of those concered cannot and will not see the possition we were put it, and simply believe that we are wrong, that we targeted them, and that they are right. On that note i do not see how there could be any form of appology...
This was not a decision about BTs in the form of its individual members... The responsibility lay with the clan leader. For those that wanted to resolve the issue then i am only sorry that your hands were tied in going against the wishes of the clan leader.
I and others tried our hardest to resolve this issue. I loose count of the time that i and other admins have spent trying to resolve it. To have this thrown in our face was at best frustrating... i doubt whether any one inloved will feel differently now.
Lastly.. ty for your support mellow
