ScreamThe barrier that we are faced with is that AC needs absolute refutable evidence that he is cheating [...]"
I agree with this for first time offenders (I assume this is meant to be irrefutable) but if you have a cheating ban already (and one that has "absolute irrefutable evidence") IMO the standard doesn't need to be as high the second time around. By cheating once you have already broken trust, there's no reason that this standard should apply to you again.
I can understand the argument that AC admins are human and to err is human, so I'm not saying the standard should be lowered drastically or anything. But I don't think it has to be quite as high.
camp3r101The whole point I'd like to get across is players would rather passively complain LOUDLY about these very serious issues rather than put in concerted efforts to help the scene avoid them overall to begin with.
I get the sentiment but I think this viewpoint is simply a bit reductionist. If an issue exists and it is not immediately clear that RGL is aware, then complaining has merit. How else is RGL supposed to get feedback or know what questions they should even put on their end of season surveys? Not all complaints are constructive I'm aware, and some people certainly complain just to complain and will never be happy. But, like it or not, a lot of good things have been done simply because of the mix of complaints and tftv shitposts.
Additionally, some people are simply not made for leadership positions. I don't think having a complaint or a desire for change is enough to be in these positions; certainly a prerequisite (hopefully), but not enough. Some people simply cannot be objective, are not decisive, or whatever it may be. Several previous RGL admins that have since been removed have displayed these qualities despite having the passion for helping the league and the game. There is also of course the fact that, like you said, this is a volunteer niche game. The playerbase is probably skewing older as the years go by and real life simply gets in the way. Writing nerd essays on tftv takes like 20 minutes of my time that I can do wherever; any real work beyond that is simply not an investment a lot of people can make.
