I see no purpose in strictly keeping admins and developers separate like other communities since all this ever seems to do is create unnecessary conflict.
Death of Baystation was due in part to this right? Coders had a bunch of features but admins/bosses wanted them implemented slowly with this insane development schedule. Least we have Polaris though.
Yea, which is why I'm not doing that. Baystation was too strict and kept its admins and coders separate strictly, which created a massive disconnect between what was wanted and what was feasible. I don't want to deal with that fucking mess, so I don't strictly separate them. Any time we do recruit an official developer who is NOT an admin such as Leshana or Cameron, we invite them to partake in admin discussion groups.
