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

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 /lh
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.

It's not about them not getting a helper because Abby is gone (again, gone, not less active), it's about them constantly not setting sets in time for MONTHS and us being constantly ignored. If you need an actual recent example, our montly auctions were not set twice in a row now and both times it took way over 24 hours to even acknowledge us asking about it. 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.

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. /gen

This conversation feels hostile, so i will not answer further today, because i just wanted to share my take on this.
its a very different feeling to be an admin project to being in a team that revolves around needing replies from admins & admin help .. when we are waiting 26 hours for a reply or even acknowledgement over a very basic scenario its just not ok.. and this isnt a personal attack ur right i dont know their situations apart from what they tell us which is they are busy they have jobs and they dont have time. dismissing everybodys points and calling us hostile is whats not constructive.

just wanna reiterate that i really don't think anyone is trying to be hostile, and all the concerned voices are coming from a good place! maybe i'm speaking for other people but i don't want this conversation to be looked at from the wrong direction. i think that all of the concern here comes from a shared love of vp so i hope the critique isn't taken personally

Oh I can speak for myself at least, and I do think the convo was rather respectful and written well,
and I'd appreciate it if it continues like that as both Tess and I have issues at times reading\reading tones so it is helpful as well.
if anyone wants to add more comments that is

I've been reading up on all the comments here and honestly I've really appreciated your posts. I think sometimes it's nice to clarify these things, especially when it's a difficult topic

I feel like I sometimes can appear accusing when I'm not trying to be because I'm not the best at like   expressing emotions in written form. So just to make it clear, none of what's been said by me personally has been or was meant to be a personal attack or accusation!

And I want you to know that I appreciate the reminder, when people get heated it is really easy to lose yourself, or hell, easy to misunderstand things and read them differently, understand em differently

Hi everyone,

I have read your concerns and even though it is hard to admit your shortcomings sometimes, they are absolutely valid. There's a couple of things I want to adress:

The first thing is, Decode is still on board for VP, however they have been dealing with health issues. Due to privacy, I will not go into detail, but I will mention that it is pretty serious and we don't know when they'll be able to come back. Currently there is no talk about getting someone new involved.

The second thing is, I have been severely lacking in performing my duties. I did not intend to make light of the situation with the way I phrased the update message, though I understand now how it may read that way. I apologize for this, and I have been apologizing for that, but nothing has really changed, so those apologies became meaningless. I understand all of that very well, which is why I have decided to step down from my role as Admin, as I no longer have the time, energy or motivation to do this. Reading your concerns has gotten me to admit that to myself. I have already messaged Etjen to let him know, including some names of people I know are interested in taking on the Admin role and would make a good fit, but there might also be an application process again.

Both Abby and I will stay on to train the new Admin(s).

If you have any questions about this, don't be afraid to ask.

I'll also add that sadly, as much as I would've been able to go back to the admin role, I had a few complications happen, and sadly my health tanked, so between appointments and work, I get some time to distract myself from that and don't have much time left to give VP the time and effort it requires, and the time I would've wanted to give to VP, so I as well will also be stepping down.
I'll say and add that despite the ups and downs I feel like we did manage to do some stuff and improve some meaningful things. I am thankful for all the support and help I got from all of you, it has been a great time for me and I am glad that I got to be a part of the community in a different way that gets to help a bit more.

I'm having an appointment in like, 2 minutes, so I will go for now, but I will be back and address any other pressing matters with Tess so if you guys have anything else you want to write, ask, or communicate with us, we are here.

i really appreciate the passion that was shown in the past from both of you to help get things in tip top shape while you were both still up for it, it was much appreciated. i do hope things clear up and get better for the both of you and decode. i really appreciate the understanding of what is best for vp and a willingness to let things go to help things change for the better, it is really admirable.

thank you both so much for your time!!
