So there are contributing factors from both sides of this, but how Dink/the admins approach things and how things have been handled are eventually the root of the problem and it creates an impasse. Sure, some members can stand to be more civil. But a lack of civility may not always be a bad thing. Let people argue and something may come out of it and understandings may be reached even if there is a lot going on during the argument. Closing threads at the slightest hint of heated argument doesn't solve the issue. It just temporarily shoves it out of the way. As for the administration, a lot of the issue comes from being absent or overworked mentally or both. And if you are, quite frankly, don't be admin. It's Dink's responsibility to get and keep administration that effectively administrates the community and maintain a level head doing so. But the admins lately have been anything from clouded by the tiredness in their judgments or just not going on the server because of the stress it brings. And, this is conjecture, but resignation, even if the only thing they want to do, is something that they are scared to do because what little they have the energy to do won't happen at all and they may be afraid of full community collapse if there is no one even slightly active with the role they have. So, if that is the case, it's up to you guys and Dink to work something out or get new adminship.
