I have stayed out of this thread for the most part and have just been following it to make sure nothing took a wrong turn. But shucks! You make me want to reply. But, before I do, I would like to state that I am neutral on this whole mess. To me, Outspark is just like any other company out there and they have turn-over. Some employees you will like and some you will not. Just like when you go to a restaurant to eat, some waitresses you will like, some you will not. I try to remain neutral to all the employees, simply because I do not know them personally and they are just doing a job and may get a better offer tomorrow and be gone forever. Plain as that. So, I have never made comments and never pat attention to the comments being made. To me it is all childish banter. With that being said, GL_Asp, please do not feel like I am picking apart your statement. I simply wanted to comment on a few things.

Hey all, sorry I haven't posted on here before. I'm not a big forum person most of the time. I was sent the link for this thread, so signed up so I could reply as well.

Welcome to FF. We are proud of our site and hope that if nothing else you come visit from time to time to see what is going on in our little world.

I understand that as players it can be hurtful to see current staff making negative comments about ex-staff that you all cared about. I know that you might not get to see Silky, Snappo, Snake and SKiNG in game as much as you'd like, but they are crazy busy most of the time outside of the game working on stuff for all the players to enjoy. Just because you might not see them perched somewhere having a dance party, doesn't mean that they are ignoring your concerns and questions.

I understand how annoying it can be having to put up with all the comments that players make. However, at the same time, Employees of Outspark should not lower themselves to the standards of those of lesser standards (really wanted to use the word idiot there). More than likely these people do not have the common sense it takes to realize this is a game run by a company and real-life mixes with that company, no matter how "involved" they think the employee (GM, CSR, GL) is with them.
As employees, Outspark staff should not only have a higher standard than those I am referring to above, but also show professionalism in the face of the customer, no matter how frustrated they get. Post a picture of however or a few of the players shouting comments and throw darts at them in the company break room to relieve stress. Simply log out and all the GMs take a relay race around the office to release the anger. However, A public display like the one this thread is about, is never a good choice.
^^ Just my thoughts on the matter as someone who as been in the Real workforce for more than half her life.
