Yeah, this conversation is clearly going nowhere. Every point you make has a valid counterpoint but you don't even stop to consider it. Mira took time out of her day to provide us with a large-enough sample size for 2 months of data, and you do nothing but complain about it and provide strawman arguments while slinging vague accusations. Your PRs got closed, it sucks, but that doesn't mean everyone is out to get you and are silently plotting to smother your ideas. Could communication have been better? Yes, I think this has been established. You started a very reasonable discussion and pointed out, rightly, that there is always room for improvement. Don't ruin it and leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth by arguing for the sake of it. I am personally done with this thread because of your attitude. Let the cogs turn and the improvements that follow from this be set in motion.

I took 15 minutes to look at some data just to ensure we are not holding this discussion based on emotions and I-feel-likes, because this topic is leading to nowhere. Since 12 January, 300 PRs were handled of which 40 got closed. At maximum, 11 of those got rejected visibly on GitHub, of which 4 did not get a written reply as to why. This is a solid 100 PR / month with a little over 1 getting rejected without an explanation on GitHub (not counting the possible discussion between the PR opener and the maintainers on Discord). PR closed/abandoned by their author for personal/technical reasons or they made an alternative PR (28): https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20417 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20400 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20378 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20377 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20374 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20373 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20365 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20364 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20358 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20355 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20338 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20318 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20317 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20316 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20296 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20292 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20647 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20633 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20624 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20557 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20555 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20510 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20475 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20446 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20269 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20212 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20210 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20186 PR closed by maintainers stating the reason on the PR (5): https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20406 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20357 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20272 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20235 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20202 PR closed by maintainers without stating a reason on the PR (4): https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20396 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20386 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20382 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20205 Either dev objection on Discord or personal, could not decide (1): https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20370 Dev objection on Discord, not stated on the PR (2): https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20509 https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/20178

Banning someone does not prevent them from being a toxic twat in the first place. You cannot solve every administrative issue by playing whack-a-mole, and burnout is a very really concern when it comes to being a part of any SS13 community staff team. I've always been fully on board with having development team communication with PRs, but I dont think opening their chats to the public solves the issue you've made note of. A simple comment on a closed PR doesn't take terribly long to write up (in most cases) and goes miles in alleviating a lot of anger some might have (in most cases).
