I feel that this post just increases the authority that staff has about what is said in regards to criticism and I feel this isn't right. Sure I agree that this is an issue that needs to be addressed, but I do not believe making a post instituting a new rule about it will do anything except increase tensions. I also believe that by eliminating criticisms or complaints against the staff will give them even more authority.

Sure this is an issue. I won't argue w/ that. However, if something has become this big that it requires an official announcement + the institution of several new rules to be addressed, there also has to be some truth behind it and I don't think that aspect of this case should be ignored either. You'd have a point if this whole democracy shizz we got going on here were common amongst wikia as a whole - but it ain't. Sudden announcements (kinda like this one) are perfectly normal amongst every other wiki, so to be annoyed with the fact that this wiki is doing that too is quite frankly silly.
