#RescreatuConfessions
Note
Stop letting staff join these free raffles! Real tired of seeing them win! (Looking at you Juke). We KNOW they get staff compensation. Let normal players get good things for once.

Please Consider This...
I'm not sure users understand why it really matters that Schemes kept her account so I wanted to write this. This isn't an attack on Schemes. Like someone else said, I hope you will read this simply as a criticism of the decision made by other staff to let her stay on that account.
We know Schemes cheated in tu/pets/items/etc. Logically, those illicit goods did not stay isolated on her account.
So let's imagine Schemes bought a name for 1 bil with tu she cheated in. In order for staff to correct the situation they would have to go to the user who sold the name and explain that Schemes cheated, give the name back, and reclaim the illicit 1 bil tu. This is just ONE transaction, but it creates a whole web of problems. First of all, contacting the other user exposes Schemes cheating. Secondly, what if the other user has already spent some or all of that tu? Staff would have to then go to the next person who recieved the illicit tu, and undo that transaction as well. Consider the same for any pets/eggs/items she cheated and bartered with as well. Are they going to track down every subsequent transaction attached to that illicit tu, and is that logically even possible? Probably not. Not only is it a massive amount of work for staff but it would also upset a lot of users.
So when she was caught, staff took pets, tu and items that she had spawned off of her account - but that's just what was still located on her account. What about the names, pets, and more that she obtained in exchange for her cheated goods and then traded/sold and so on? The wealth she obtained as a result is still at her disposal, on her account, and we can never know just how much she is still benefitting. Even staff don't really know. If nothing else, she had recently (before the ban) obtained high value names. Those names will continue to increase in value and she will be able to sell/trade them in the future. Staff didn't remove those names or send them back to their previous owners because, again, that would expose what she had been doing and create more problems.
If you're still skeptical that staff can't correct these transactions, please have a look at Kirtsi being hacked a few years ago. Staff caught the hacker and returned Kirsti's account to her, but staff told her it would be extremely difficult to try to get her things back (which is logically true). The hacker had been on her account for months - selling, buying and trading; doing quests, participating in events, hatching eggs, and so on. To undo it ALL they would have to contact every user who had interacted with this account. Including merchant, egg market and rancher sales, auctions and trades, private sales - and so much more. What a nightmare. Staff were right to say this couldn't reasonably be corrected. (I don't know who was on staff back then, I'm just saying it sounds like that was a fair decision). Now consider the same issues arise when trying to undo Schemes playing for an unknown amount of time with cheated tu/eggs/etc. Staff simply can not undo it all, especially not without admitting publicly that she was cheating and taking things back from users (which would be upsetting for everyone who unwittingly interacted with her illicit stuff).
So let's talk about why this is a situation that doesn't make sense to "forgive" with leniency. The new statement on bans asserts that users have been forgiven and allowed their account back if they show sufficient remorse for their actions. They weren't lying when they said this has happened in the past. In the case of a user who says something inappropriate or hostile, or perhaps a user who had a second account and managed to get 3 extra hatches per day, this may seem reasonable if that user understands they did something wrong and agrees to not repeat the behavior. The damage would be minimal and other rule-abiding users may be more inclined to see it as understandable. In the case of Schemes, you have damage done to the economy of the site (which is already in question and struggling) and a userbase who realize they've been cheated and now question the value of everything in the game. It gives them further reason to question other certain staff who seem to be doing remarkably better than any normal user could do. And above all else, as I demonstrated above, it fails to correct the problem at all.
Users know that any transaction they make with Schemes/Khione going forward should be viewed in a different light. When Khione asks for a fair price for something they're selling, the rest of us will wonder, "Am I now paying her my tu/etc that I had to work to earn fairly, for something that she (directly or indirectly) obtained through cheating?" And when they see her on an event leaderboard, or out-bid them in an auction, or buy a pet they can't afford - of course they will be bitter.
There's about 30 other reasons staff who cheat shouldn't be allowed to keep their account, but honestly it shouldn't be necessary to explain them, especially not to the staff members who made this decision.
I realize the hour grows late on this issue, and the more time that passes the less likely support staff are to decide to ban her account. But maybe laying it out like this will help other staff to realize how problematic this is and encourage them to speak up on behalf of the site.

I'm fine with Schemes having a new account. Thanks for the heads up anon staff. As long as she's never allowed on staff again, and not allowed to bully people again, there's no threat to the site so whatever imo

As regular users we obviously can't use all the tools staff do, so we can't have concrete proof that Solanine is Schemes but it's a brand new user with tons of expensive pets including albino shrine pets and albino CS. A user that joined days before the grab bags started isn't likely to have spent real money on them. The profile pets sound passive-aggressive like Amending, Strategy, Cloaking, Reappearing. Just lots of little things that seem like something Schemes would pull.

Plenty of users have been burned so bad by the site that it's understandable they just want to watch it die and will never give anyone on staff any slack. To the staff reading this blog, I hope you can understand where they're coming from but also please don't think they represent all of us. If you want to do good work, do it, be the change. Do it for your own satisfaction and for the people who recognize it because we are watching too. And thank you.

Let’s just consider for a moment if anything has gotten done recently, even with the addition of ‘new staff.’ Events are not on time, they overlap. New books have no writing. Perhaps the shout box is fine, I couldn’t care less about that godforsaken place. Forums are left unmoderated and any feedback given there or suggestions are practically ignored unless Patrick feels like saying something is a good idea or whatever.
The only thing that got done was schemes got banned. And no, I did not apply to staff, I have absolutely no desire to be on a 1) inactive team where half the staff is never even online or interacting with the community, as another anon pointed out and 2) where only one staff member has been held accountable for their actions. Why on earth would I want to work under Dan? Why on earth would I want to work under any of the department heads? They are not good, and the one who maaaaybe is good (crowflux) apparently has too much to manage since a lot of content is left unfinished (books, effects, colors, etc.) and we just keep promising new things without any old getting finished.
again, we can’t even get events out in time. Staff ‘volunteers’ are still getting staff rewards despite lackluster and unfinished events and items being put out. Where has half the “development” team been? Ignoring users and ignoring events, that’s apparent.Why would I want to join a team and attempt to do work for a site that doesn’t even care when one of their admins was (and probably still is) blatantly cheating?
furthermore, staff in two departments don’t even seem to be doing one of their department jobs. Why would I want to be a part of that? Are they getting double the rewards for doing double the ‘work?’ Probably, if I had to bet. Juke is an asshole, that alone is enough to keep me from ever dreaming of even trying to join that team. Shark is absent and has been for months. Savannah hasn’t even logged in since July. Setzer can’t do either of their jobs. I can go on and on and on but no one wants to hear it.
why don’t any of you join staff, or if you are staff, change things for the better? Oh that’s right, because staff cares more about copy and pasting site text in the shoutbox than they do about anything in their site. Do better.

I don't think all staff are friends since one of them recently leaked those screenshots of Pegasus from the staff chat... I'm surprised nothing seems to have happened over that tbh

"all staff sucks"
Have you even interacted with ALL the staff?
I haven't even seen over half of them show up as online, let alone interacted with them.
Granted, time zones, work schedules, life, might be just clock blocking me and that's why I don't see most of them. The ones I do see though, are more often trying their best and enjoyable to chat with.
I just think saying "all staff" when it's typically the same handful that are complained about, is a bit rude.
No one is going to want to apply to be staff to try and help, if they're just going to automatically be called shitty for the single fact they are staff with no other basis. You want staff changes, that's fine. You hate a few staff members, that's fine. But give the rest of them a chance to be better than the shitty ones before you say "all staff". Or, like another post here already said, go apply and make shit better yourself rather than just bitching on Tumblr.

No one can get into staff unless they’re already friends xD so uhhhh I can’t. Nice try though. Convince ME otherwise. The only anomaly I see is maybe the hiring of Stargazer. Other than that, they’re all been the same circle jerk of friends.
