You say I don't know their situations exactly, which is correct and I don't claim to, yet then you say the job was done badly "before" and "in a smaller scale and with smaller stakes" which is something you would not be able to know either since you are not and have never been a member of DT. We are, in fact, talking about the job being done right now, right this moment and that it's been going on for months and months. I have complained to them before, as I've mentioned before our concerns are not acknowledged or straight up ignored.
I did not make this conversation hostile, but you calling me mean and claiming stuff you would not know did.

Just wanted to say that its not the bare minimum if one person is doing a two person job, and unless you know the two admins personally, you dont know their situations or lives they live. Just because the job was done badly before, in a smaller scale and with smaller stakes (since no one really expected change back then), i wouldnt start being mean and blaming. This isnt constructive in any way, if you have genuine complaints, you would reach out to them personally and take this situation with them. /gen
This conversation feels hostile, so i will not answer further today, because i just wanted to share my take on this.
As a member or both SMT and DT, those are not comparable. SMT would run just fine without admin help and it has before. DT could not. whydoiexist wrote:

Our concerns are either not acknowledged or ignored too. Also, there were mistakes with what sets are used for MCM, which is really important, because of the lack of communication.
Do not ask us to be grateful for bare minimum. That's just demeaning towards designers and people working towards keeping this site alive and working. You know you're gonna have to take a lot of responsibility while applying for an admin, you need to be able to fulfill your duties. We had 1 admin doing all the work alone before, this isn't a job that requires 2 people, so how come even 2 admins are struggling to do their job?
I have infact been in that type of team because the admins' project to fix up SMT, and I've worked very closely with them. toraix wrote:

so thats why im not that suprised over this situation since tess has been doing a lot to cover for everything and i would love to see people be more grateful about that

Respectfully, unless you have experienced first hand what it's like to be in a team where admins responding is a big part of it, you would not understand the frustration.I do get peoples frustrations over admins not getting a helper over the time abby has been less active, but someone has to actually do an decent amount of work for an another one to get into that position IF its done well/gen
