Look, I know you guys are the staff, and you're gonna do what you feel you need to do to fix shit around here. I get that. But you guys REALLY need to start acting like you care what the members think. And I mean immediately.
No more closing threads with controversial staff decisions without allowing the members to discuss it first. You DO have quality wrestling posters on this site who are not on the staff or hell, even Legends Status yet, and you NEED to allow us to weigh in our opinions on what's good and bad for the forums.
If you keep on pretending like what the members say doesn't matter and that you know best for everyone, you're being no better than the predecessors before you that you removed were, despite how much you claim how bad they are. You're doing worse by lording over the forums.
Any good community, any good public structure PERIOD needs to welcome civil discussion and debate. If a troll comes in and tries to disrupt the discussion, just delete their post and infract them. But God damnit you NEED to allow your current memberbase who cares about what goes on to discuss whether we agree or disagree with your God damned decisions!
I don't give a crap if it doesn't change your mind, but you need to stop locking threads, pushing your weight around and otherwise bullying your members into submission. That is NOT going to work if you hope to keep your current existing memberbase. And if you keep on insisting it's going to work, then you TRULY are unfit to run these forums.
Let us have a voice, let us speak up when we disagree with your decisions, let us feel like our opinions matter. Because I've only returned for a few days now and already I am regretting it. Because you're silencing all of your critics, you're not allowing anybody to have civil discussion, and you act hostile towards anyone who disagrees with you. AND THAT NEEDS TO STOP!

) Is to step down gracefully if you actually give a crap about IWF and let someone who can run this place neutrally take that position. Or you can continue being an egomaniac and convince you're above everyone else and stay. But, be prepared for the backlash that you seem to enjoy considering you've started shit again for no reason.
