This site's gone through a lot of fights, inactivity, and there were moments where everybody just wanted to quit. However, me and a lot of other ex-staff have worked out butts off to preserve it in the past, and if you guys think you can just call it quits so easily and complain that you have a hard time, then I'm very upset. I was in a time where the every administrator competed for the HA title, and staff quit over it. I was a regular member during a time when there was only ONE moderator modding at all, over half of the staff on the staff list hadn't even logged in that Summer, and there was probably only 5 or 6 members posting. Did the 5 members give up when they realized that this site was basically a graveyard? No, and you dare call the first week of September inactivity.
These arguments are nothing compared to the ones that happened after the site's revival. Imagine that these arguments cost over 3 staff members, including Namine. Namine was ticked off to the point she DELETED her account. These fights were concerning the HA, as Mystogan had agreed to resign. They had held a staff vote, and Luna won the position. Namine later had an argument with Luna, and she lost it when Luna said "I'm HA now, so I'm the boss here now" or something along those lines. Do you really think losing a foundation staff member, a staff member who was around before this site had a chat-box was easy? Not to mention the side-effects, as some of the staff members were particularly angry at her as well.
The point is, the staff had higher standards back then, and there was training for a reason. There's a difference between making an application and becoming a staff member, and going through months of training on how to do what, how to act what, what to do in these situations, and etc. These experiences bonded us and taught the new staff member the reality of this site, and gave a final choice on whether they feel right about being a staff member or not. It was a fundamental rite of passage that taught the new staff members the true reality of PWRPG, that it's not fun and games like the original Pokemon games and that people don't always get along. I really recommend putting all of the Region Mods (including trial and regular) to go through training. On my opinion, it's like a parent sending his/her child to college and only paying for 1 year of college, and not giving any more.
