Rather an appeal they just threw a moody and quit the site. It’s curious how you lot choose who or what to defend. Good to know where the line is. Media graders, PT team, fair game. But simmers are a no no.

Hey man, I wanted to respond to this because I think there's a little confusion here. The last time I remember somebody blowing up at the media team, I actually was right there discussing it with them and trying to work through the issue (I think @MikeLiut probably remembers the conversation we had about the great audiobook fiasco). I'm not sure when somebody yelled at the PT team last, but if it's brought to me, I will go to bat for those other teams of volunteers any day of the week.

The truth is, media and pt graders just don't have the same visibility that simmers do. Those jobs don't have half the site looking over their shoulder every second of the time they're doing their jobs, they don't have people posting "WEN MEDIA GRADE?" a half hour after a scheduled time (because as far as I know, most of their work doesn't have a hard deadline that the entire site is aware of). If one media grader or PT grader gets sick and doesn't work one day, the entire site doesn't come knocking on their door demanding to know where they are.

Like I said, if people are targeting people in those positions and I hear about it, I will do what I can to put a stop to it, but that's nowhere near on the same scale as the vitriol the sim team receives on a regular basis, or the incredibly tight deadlines and standards they have for the work they do. It's just not the same thing, and comparing it is kind of apples and oranges.
