I'd like to break this down piece-by-piece because this is just silly, and this is coming from someone who campaigns for operators' freedom and rights.
Quote
Certain suggestions that benefit OPs aren't put through because admins don't like the idea of OPs having the power to do those things, as it can be 'annoying' but not harmful to the server.
False.
- You're writing this as if admins are deliberately trying to restrict your power, which is not only false but extremely misleading.
- The majority of suggestions that called for certain WorldEdit commands to be unblocked consisted mainly of vouches from both operators and administrators.

Many OPs also face situations from admins, such as admins banning them and calling them things like 'cunt' in the ban messages.
There is no evidence in the punishment log of this occurring.
While I do not doubt that there might be some admins who are disrespectful towards operators, I think you're hyperbolizing situations like this.

OPs don't report this as it can be tiring to file an IA report. It does feel like you need to write out 2 paragraphs per question and include multiple pieces of evidence.
Not really. You can file an IA report without using the template. All you need to do is explain what happened, include when it happened, include context, and include evidence (log files, screenshots, etc). In some cases, a single piece of evidence is definitely not enough to build a case against someone regardless of rank if that's what you're aiming at.

There is no dedicated place for OPs, and that's what the council is for.
There doesn't need to be one. It would be redundant to implement something like this.
Quote
A place where OPs can come and talk and feel safe and confident.
That's what the server is for. What makes operators feel otherwise?
Quote
you can’t say anything against admins without admins arguing back against it.
You're presenting all admins like as if they're horrible oppressors who want to take away your freedoms and cannot take constructive criticism. This is very misleading.
Quote
I’d also like to clarify that not all admins are bad.
In the statements that come before this, you were making generalizations of administrators by painting them all to look nothing but evil. This statement, from my point of view, is contradictory to those previous statements.
Quote
Everything on here is seen from an admin perspective but almost never from an OPs side, unless it comes from me or Noah.
Would it be possible for the reason for this being the case is simply because people simply don't care about TF politics?
Quote
Because of that, it causes issues as significant admins don't consider how things could affect OPs.
False.
The issues you have presented in this thread can be resolved in ways that do not require a government body to be established.
- You can easily ask someone from IA to help you file a report against an administrator.
- You can easily make suggestions to unblock certain features, provided you think the suggestion through enough and give a better solution to the problem the feature causes than just simply blocking it.
- If you want others to feel comfortable on the server, solve the problem at its root. Don't come up with a blanket solution that is overly complicated and may not even properly resolve the problem at all.
I absolutely agree that changes need to be made to give the operators more freedoms and a louder voice, but this is going overboard.
Object.
