Why shouldn't they?the situation is pretty simple and a great mind isn't really needed, if this is true the dev team is simply not caring about the community decisions and took the whole votation thing like a joke, making personal preference no matter how the real work of the admin is judged.
And btw I saw the posts of nuffen around when there was the votation and after when he was applying again for being an admin, seems like that he can't accept not being an admin in a mod of m&b, how dull
Dev team shouldn't give a fuck bout the community decisions, because like every other community out there this one is dumb as shit. Like Terry Pratchet once said, you get the IQ of a group of People by dividing the IQ of the dumbest by the number of people...
The vote was shit, like every other vote in our democratic world (because of lobbyism), and so i would be happy see nuffen back as an admin. And if really someone is quitting because of that, i am sure i wont be missing him.
