User blog:Rainsplash987/guess who's not happy? r-a-i-n-y

Kay, I think I've made it pretty clear I love this wiki. If not, I do. I really really do. '''

But I'm also pretty darn mad.

Look at our staff bar, people. That is a lot of staff to have for a wiki our size. Yes, being a staff member on here is a very interactive position; it requires the energy and time and effort to be put into making pages, as well as regular functions like monitoring chat behavior and enforcing rules.

Still. That is a huge staff.

And you know what? I love each and every one of you, staff member or not. But I am not happy with the results of having such a big staff.

For some reason, there's this giant, oversensitive myth on this wiki that you have to be staff to be important. That's the opposite of true. Okay? We value our regular users just as much as staff, because NightClan would be nowhere without them.

In fact, if you're a regular user, you can probably breathe a little easier right now, because the brunt of this blog is not directed at you. It's dedicated at our staff team.

Guys. Guys, guys guys. I've dropped a thousand hints. I've said it countless times. And I've tried my best to do my part, even though there are a million and one other things I could be doing/would rather be doing.

Yet some of us still aren't getting it.

If. You. Are. On. Staff. You. Need. To. Do. Stuff.

Simple at that.

And you know what? No matter how busy you are, you should be able to find some time to make a page or two--because let's face it, approving is the easy part. Making pages, updating the Cats of NightClan page, that's where people start to get cold feet. That's where the excuses start to come in.

If you honestly have no time to make pages, then you shouldn't be on staff. And I say that in the nicest way possible. You can still be a user on NC, and get on to roleplay and hang on chat. But you shouldn't have rights.

Starting January 1st, if I see a couple of users on staff who still haven't been making cat pages or anything, I'm going to start removing your rights. I'll leave a well-worded, well-intentioned message on your talk letting you know why, and I hope people won't take this personally. I trust you guys, and hold you to a certain level of maturity; I hope you'll understand that as villainous as I sound right now, I only want what's best for the wiki.

My apologies for my rudeness. I'm just getting kind of fed up with this issue, and I think it'd help if we replaced some of our team maybe, or at least shapened up a bit, because NightClan needs a strong leadership group.
