Mihaly is learning

Yeah. He's a Class A moron. Him and Kane dukes it out on Graalians.com and let's just say DarkKnight was screwed from the start.

He's went as far as making a petition to remove SNK from managing. I think the 24 signatures he has determines that not everyone agrees with his idiotic behaviour.

Can a global please give dark knight a global ban. He must have daddy issues or something all he does is bi*** about the staff and management 24/7 because he sucks at levels.

Yes as much as I love the game and most of the community, there are a handful of players that can be downright vicious. They personally attack who you are, call you names, and spew vulgarity at you via PM or in public chat. Currently some red bear guy is actively harassing me calling me lesbian, I suck, and who knows what else. I have no idea who he is, but his parents must be proud. When I was a PR, I hosted events faithfully everyday, did Facebook EC, gave dolls and statues to every request...finally the rudeness of some players started affecting me personally. I really became sad about it not understanding how I could put in so many hours and work tirelessly for them and yet they were just downright cruel. I never even as much thought those nasty things about another human being. Eventually, I stopped doing events all together. I notice where almost all PRs would gladly accommodate players by hosting events daily for them, now most avoid it like the plague honestly. Thankfully my role evolved to managing the forums primarily and other offline work, this saved me as a staff member because if I had stayed a PR, I am quite positive I would have left all together by now. Now you see me rarely online and if I am, I frequently disallow PMs. I do this because I am mostly working on offline items or forum follow-up things but it also does shield me from some of that negativity and nonsense. While I am able to avoid those nasty in-game comments, I still get to deal with a handful of rude emails or posts on Graalians bashing me.

All very sad, and for what?? Anyway, just more raw honesty for y'all...if you are applying for staff, please make sure you have thick skin. Every person hired will need to prepare to deal with some type of negativity and harassment.

Thank you so much P0kachu for considering my feelings and taking this time to make this thread. Today has been very much of an epiphany day to which I have found out that I should definitely take time reading the forums. The last few days to which I was able to serve the Era community has not only been a very humbling experience, but it has also really helped me grow in many different ways! I always fullheartedly giggle when I read comments regarding my custom. People seem to be confused on whether or not I am a girl or a boy, but I would like to officially clarify that I am very much a male. I have a feeling that this confusion is why I have been getting so many Valentines from both men and women (if you look on the bright side works out in my favor LOL).

I absolutely love hearing everyone's feedback and I would like to also say that I do take the time to read each of your PMs, and I apologize if I have failed to reply to some of them! I hope to continue to serve and utilize all the talents to which I have been given to fulfill the responsibilities and expectations that are of me

<3 mihaly!

Yes he is the main one, I have seen all his hate toward me thru his Graalians posts. Amazingly two players who had been notorious for pretty hardcore bashing me disagreed with his comments toward me (Era went to hell because of jeni)....that actually gave me some renewed faith in the human race.

Cant a person be banned for doing that? I mean that IS harassment and its an offence right?

[Cudislagne]

I had people telling me they hate me all the time as a PR.

Whaaa?!?! You, failure, and OreOs are like my 3 favourite former PRs!

[Cudislagne]

Anyway, just more raw honesty for y'all...if you are applying for staff, please make sure you have thick skin. Every person hired will need to prepare to deal with some type of negativity and harassment.

Lol, if you knew me personally, you'll see that i couldn't care at all about what some people say to me. It's like their anger is kind of my energy booster, ask a few people about it. It's a fact.

[Cudislagne]

But anyways, yes, it's true that every new PR face harsh harassments and such, and I happen to be one of those players who used to do that in the past, but I got over it. Anywho, though, everyone as a whole must realize that the whole community isn't perfect, along with the Staff team, and not all of us are nice. But, the new staff must overcome that, which is very easy, and i have no idea why even players make a such big deal when the PR is being harassed. Like, it's apart of their job, and if the do complain about it, and I'm going to saw these few words one last time, they must realize, it's apart of their job.
Just to sum it all up:
Like what Jeni said, please make sure you have a thick skin.
and be ready for any negative thing. Okay?

Oh, and please no kisses on the buttocks, because it won't give you any sort of promotion for defending such player, I'm just being honest here. I mean, these type of threads always comes up during a hiring season. When OreOs was new PR (and just an inb4, he wasn't hired through application, but through recommendation), he was harassed a lot, and no one made a thread about saying, "Stop the harassment, OreOs is just learning." Not even I, his own cousin, made such thread. But this thread comes, and oh, what a coincidence, during the hiring season. But, he didn't care all of that harassment, not at all, because he had a thick skin, because it runs in the blood (lol). So yeah.

I'm just being honest here.

And honesty is my policy.

I don't really understand why people have to be so downright rude when it comes to a game. I have (overall) a very high standing respect towards PRs simply because without them, Era wouldn't quite be Era. No freebies, gang spars, events, pk matches, and ec uploads. Not only that, I find some of the PRs to be delightful in conversation. As for thick skin, I am very used to criticism and insults. Being a foreigner to the United States, I have been racially discriminated countless amounts of times. Now, I just developed an immunity to it. I just really don't care about the insults all that much.

[Guardofthedragon]

The community still harasses PRs to this day? Wow... I kinda wish they would show a bit more respect to new PRs. Unless they expect us to be "perfect", we aren't robots that can run a perfectly smooth event on our first try.

Wait you guys aren't perfect?

Anyways I see people all the time just bashing admins for various reasons. Like all you guys it makes me rather sad. All of the Staff team is doing an awesome job
