The problem with doing this privately via email is that the discussion doesnt become an open conversation between all the members of the forum, but a behind-closed-doors conversation between the group of mods and the one complainant.
You're all good people and I'm not trying to imply anything malicious here, and I understand wanting to keep this convo off the main website as to not bother people who dont want to read that, but surely there is a better way to do this no? I have things to say and I am sure many other members have things to say, and I want to hear what they have to say and see how the mod team responds to it. In a group conversation you always learn more and have more perspectives than just one man airing his grievances. Plus I just dont have the time or energy to have a thorough discussion with the mod team on my own (inb4 comments about the podcast and lengthy blocky rants), and what I love about forums is being anle to put out an idea or opinion and returning later to read how other members pick it up and run with it. I also love being able to see other people put out a new perspective that I hadnt thought of and seeing that being discussed.
May I suggest we have some sort of chatroom/mini forum thingy (like we have for Mafia games) where the mods and all concerned members can get together and talk about this off the main forum? I feel this would work better than one-on-many email chains.
