Applications and polls are a joke anyway.
The last ones showed that precisely, cause I know it would be very different if the community feedback counted for anything.
The problem is real and very present in this forum everyday, and now not just by the mere peasantry that make your mod still work, but by the game admins themselves.
Just to exemplify, this very whole afternoon/evening we had 0 admins and several "usual" rule by-passers, grievers, leechers, etc (or if there was one, he just ignored everything to get some playtime off duty). I had the "pleasure" to even spend a good time arguing about this with other members in-server.
Don't you get it? They are laughing at your warning bans (with consequent pre-lifting) and spitting on your rules constantly, simply because they can and nothing is done about it (or almost nothing, at least randomdude and jacko had the guts to do something).
This is out of hand, and another month of "diplomacy" and "pondering" what to do, is just killing the game mode, and mod, since most of the player base is a Siege player.
No one is asking to be a badmin and get "zomg powerz pewpew", we are asking for YOU to chose YOUR admins, but fast!
Cheers.
