WHEN FREE IS BROKEN IT SHOULD BE OK FOR USERS TO SAY:

💬 "WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX IT NOW IT'S BEEN DELAYED?"

AND EXPECT REPLY OR UPDATES TO CONTINUE...

=========
Intro:
==========
Here are some lessons for people who think free means they don't have to answer or maintain their shit and expect people to remain grateful to them (which maybe they were a beginning THE MOST GRATEFUL before but slowly people run out the tank being less responsive).

So there is some +/- to what I'm referring to and will be more in your own context and story-line to use in future situations BUT ALL THE SAME SHIT IS HERE and the points are all lessons that people can learn from and even remember from as experiences.

================
LET THE LESSONS BEGIN
AND PHRASES REMEMBERED!
====================

1 ♠ Free doesn't mean you should be grateful forever

If you server admin goes on holiday or AWOL / MIA (for weeks) and not responding to your DM's you can't just stay in 'grateful land' forever.
It is a bit worrying with no profile activity on server and mods not having a clue (or claiming not to or that they are not his keeper when clearly they should be keeping the server and users - "no I'm just a spam swatter" yeah nice one, great deflection 🏸

2 ♠ Deliberate evasion - you have to call this as some point if not evil or it's passive - still you have to see evasion for what it is

3 ♠ "Yeah you can go elsewhere if you want" ALSO a "THIS SHIT" as example of real life where "you can leave if you want" rather them answer WHERE IS THE F-ING ADMIN I'VE DM'D HIM MULTIPLE TIMES AND POSTED PUBLICLY...
and low and behold a few days later comes back online and says "Did you ask me a question" as if he just looked at his account yesterday or remembered he had a server (not even going back to see my DM's)

Yes some people might want to leave but it's at all helpful to leave from the lack of comms, bad work etc IF IT GOING TO BE THE SAME EVERYWHERE (people are measurably non-communicative or if they don't have to and have the keys why stick around to talk?)...

I'm proud I say the following phrase also

4 ♠ "Free bad work is still bad work" when anyone says "you should be grateful here"

5 ♠ gratefulness decreases as time goes on in the bad work spectrum and bad comms continuing ...

ℹ️ So remember these for the next time - surely - because people are crap or not serious or not interested even when they run the place... and they have their ups and downs and don't want to call it themselves...
