It's clear to me that you have several misunderstandings and I'll do my best to explain things so that you and other admins can understand them via a numbered list.
1. Leadership members perform vital functions within eGO. However, eGO is and always has been an inclusive community composed mostly of guests, members, and non-leadership admins. Our diverse community focuses on camaraderie, teamwork, and the preservation of established community ethics.
Quote from the
History and Structure page:
This clan's foundation rests on honor, loyalty, and integrity. There is a heavy emphasis on maturity, fair play, helping others and having a fun and competitive gaming experience that all can enjoy. Because of this, eGO has attracted the most dedicated members and experienced administrators in the gaming world. eGO has become a place where each admin can and does make a difference. No matter what real life brings, in the world of eGO, you are valued and counted on to help make things right.
2. There is oft a clear distinction between insubordination and disagreement. Tone, demeanor, abuse of power, continued action despite warnings, selective deletion of posts, and actions outside of the forums are all contributing factors affecting public and upper-administrative perception regarding alleged acts of insubordination committed by "some admins" or members of leadership.
3(a). The forums are the correct location to carry on discussions about various topics even if they oppose the standpoints presented by a member of leadership. However, these discussions should be carried out in a respectful manner.
[fo?rum (noun) (fȯr-əm) ]
a : the marketplace or public place of an ancient Roman city forming the center of judicial and public business
b : a public meeting place for open discussion
c : a medium (as a newspaper or online service) of open discussion or expression of ideas
3(b). The Dropbox is a place "...for you to give us suggestions or voice your concerns and can only be viewed by eGO Leadership and the initial poster" or for "community suggestions, concerns, recommendations, or [to] report a problem."
4. Despite rank, everyone's opinions expressed in the proper venues should be respected.
It should be remembered that members of leadership are not divine beings with infinite powers and incapable of making mistakes. Conversely, members do not have the same powers as leadership but are required to adhere to the community's code of conduct. That said, no member (leadership or otherwise) should break eGO rules, abuse power, or blatantly disrespect another member.
5. There are major differences between "challenging leadership" and expressing a difference of opinion concerning proposed actions. Disagreeing with leadership proposed actions is not disrespectful nor is it insubordination.
6. "Constructive ideas" are not necessarily the same ideas expressed by leadership. Different points of view are a natural and constructive element in society and within eGO.
7. The forums and other actions within eGO are administrated by leadership members. It is not necessary for "some admins" to create new threads to discuss incidents or policies already handled by leadership and generally understood by most members.
8. Use common sense.
common sense (noun) (k?-mən sen(t)s)
: the ability to think and behave in a reasonable way and to make good decisions
