At least this is better advice than many who have weighed in.

I don't have the fortitude for prolonged fighting any more. And I have mixed feelings. I don't like the ban waves, but I tell ya, if I was in charge I'd probably say "oh well," nuke the site from orbit, and save myself hassle and $80 a month. I wouldn't run a site with an insurrection against me.

So props to M7 for not taking the option I would.

Love that Aliens movie.

This is NOT an insurrection. This is a open source invention to protest to appeal where no appeal process exists.

I am NOT calling for M7 to step down as the illogical LXXX MoronLeft is.

I am calling for M7 to do better and offering alternatives and solutions that HELP lift and distribute his burdens, keeping him as top veto guy.

I ran a Clash of Clans group of clans for 3 years. Wife thought it'd be fun to play a game together. Turned out we were way more successful at this than we thought we'd be. Turned into a 300 person affair. Running it was like a full time job that didn't pay anything.

Pretty soon off it became apparent I'd have to make some hard decisions. We started off as a friendly affair but it became competitive. To compete your members have to perform regularly. So people I liked had to get the axe. All sorts of drama and whatnot. Still, we did well.

One day I realized even though we had built this impressive thing but it was just pointless work and misery for me and I quit and have been happier ever since. I do not play phone games anymore.

Counterpoint: insurrection has a cool ring to it.
