I've been an administrator on multiple fanons for years. Your situation here is hardly unique. When staff take a hostile stance against criticism, and bare their teeth against the community in retaliation, it doesn't end well for either party. Invariably, the fanon splits. One group heads out to found a duplicate fanon with inferior organization and forms, and the ones that stay behind end up with an increasingly isolated echo chamber/hugbox. The lack of cohesion causes the former to fail, the lack of fresh ideas causes the latter to stagnate.

Take my advice or leave it, but I have seen this happen before on multiple occasions. Unless you guys decide to adopt a more user-friendly and less authoritarian tone, it won't end well.
