User blog:Amet Revfold/The Power Within

Hey Family, Amet here,

I think it's time to adress something. And it's been bothering me for quite some time. As you all very well know, I had made a thread regarding the Staff of this site. While this may have been 'smoothed over', it still posesses a very real topic. And before we start to agrue, no - this was not smoothed over in the slightest. Things have reverted back to the way they were, not the way they should be.

And while the plan was all and good, it's not what we need. See, there's a lot of hidden, underlying truths that emerge from that plan. I'll follow up on that later.

So, here we go again. I'm sticking my neck out for this one.

This isn't adressing the Staff. This is adressing the Community. This is a call.

See, I have this idea. And this idea is that the Staff should serve the community, not the other way around. Think about that for a second. If we stopped making OCs, why would we need Reviewers? If there was no one in chat, why would we need CMs? And if there were no undeeded categories, or people visiting this site in general, there would be no need for the CUC or Admins. Let that thought sink in for a second.

Now, let's continue.

As a community, we have great power. But I've noticed that not everyone wants to speak. Not everyone wants to be a supporter. And I respect that. But I've also noticed that there are many that long for change, but these people? They don't voice their opinions. If they're scared, if they don't want to be ridiculed, then I can understand. But know you're not alone in this respect.

What i'm trying to get at here, Community, is that you have more power than you think. Use that power to get what you want. While you may be a signular person on a screen, together - you speak volumes. I implore you to do what's right. Do what's best for yourselves and this site.

If you want change in the Staff, you ask for it. There's a lot of hidden potential. Harness that.

We all have some sort of power within.
