    Greetings to the CN community once again.
    Before I get into the thread, I want to say that yes, I am defman/KingDynasty, why I created an alt though? As a long part of my history on that account consisted of toxicity, fighting and a fake persona, that I created. Sadly, people still believe in that persona, so I do have to burst the bubble now as it's just getting ridiculous.

    Now, to the thread at hand, I wanted to speak about CN, the good things and the bad things, and how to improve on them, from my prespective, as I'm getting into politics and have debating skills, I would like to see where you disagree with my visions, as I have always supported the voice of the community, the ideas of the community. Now here are the things that I have seen:

    - Game mode Updates:
    Now, this is just a really good point for CN, doesn't have a lot of delay on game modes, looking always for improvements and now somewhat for community input, which is kind of lacking and should improve by time. I especially love the Speed HCF and the idea, that I've seen that each staff member has a chance to be a part of any game modes managment team. Such as Kai with the HCF Managment. Really nice work, I respect it and it looks better than back in the day.

    - The Community:
    I won't touch on staff in this point, as I have a whole separet point on that, but I do want to say that it still contains major toxicity, racial slurs, bad sportmanship, but that is on the server, in forums there are some conflicts between members, as the best examples, TbhMike, Advertzz, Dehy. I'm not saying that conflicts are always good or bad, but they could be avoided by speaking to eachother privately and of course there are some toxic spores on the forums aswell, which do, in some cases, repell members, not wanting to play on the server. The fix on this problem from my prespective would be way harsher chat rules on members, so less people dare to break them.

    - The Staff Team:
    I won't try to say much contreversial stuff about the staff team, such as Kai being a bad staff, which he deffinetly isn't, I believe he is doing a way better job, then I do want to touch on the staff shortage CN had, but what happens when you have less staff, equals in more of a qualified work force, so by having quantity doesn't mean it's instantly quality, that's why you should really keep high standarts on staff and make every member apply for the staff rank, don't just give it away like you did, such contreversial person is Moni, he clearly disliked TheFlame getting T-Mod without applying, but he himself got T-Mod or Mod without applying a few days after attacking TheFlame. I get that he may be a good staff, but this is just hipocritical, yet I am diving too much into contreversy now, so if the CN Managment team could create Quality with Quantity and insure that no contreversial person gets staff, then we should be all good.

    - The Managment:
    I'm not going to say, oh Nick just wants that $$$ or Moni just helps his friends, by voting them in as staff, which might seem the case to some, it might not really be like that. Yes, they might have been pressured in to add in more newer staff and not known people from the community in the team, yet why should we care right? What can the community do? Well, turns out it can do way more than you might think, don't bite the hand that feeds you, let's say, if you completly try to drag the server down and make people don't trust the staff even more, then people will just stop donating, stop playing and might even refund, so you must please the community and listen to their input, also listen to the Media team as they do bring people, just because they enjoy their "Influencer".

    I know I might remember more stuff for this post or if you want me to touch upon some topics, then do say so, as I want to touch on everything the community has to say. Thank you for reading this and/or clicking on this thread, any input is appreciated!

    P.S. @Arches I want my damn CNN back!

    The Management as of now is definitely " interesting " would love to hear from Moni's perspective.

    There is no such thing as a fake opinion and I stated myself that the persona was fake. And Mike, just because I don't want you ruining my damn network, doesn't mean you have to refuel the old fires we had in 2017.

    And you just fucking trapped yourself again. People with a real depression don't have a period where one time they're happy and it goes well and the other time they feel shit. Unless you have a manic depression which I highly doubt you have since you don't even have a depression.

    I want to state that, I may not have had depression, but constant feelings of suicide and all over bad emotions running around, which I do call depression on some degree, it mostly consisted of lonelieness and lack of human to human contact, which has now changed, I really don't feel trapped as I don't care anymore, that stuff happened, let it stay in the past, where it should not be remembered.

    What you're actually trying to say here: ''I was sitting behind my pc the whole day doing nothing, and now I went outside for the first time in like a year and actually talked to real people'', but ok.

    The shit that you don't know actually frightens me, I'm sorry, but you have no place to judge the project I and Godly have been building for so long as you never even asked about it. And, I can obviously see you being that buthurt and wanting some revenge of me saying no + not changing in the slightest after all these years, if you want me to come and actually argue with you, then just say the word.

    Well, not really fully the case, it was more like 3 years of "EpIcNeSs" with my old neighbour hood friends, then like 2 years of focusing on studies and of course video games, completly anti-social, went thru some lonelieness and misserable feelings, felt the need to change and to adapt, which i succesfully did, reestablished contact eith my old neighbour hood friends, going outside with them again and planning an amazing comeback summer that will shape up my life for the better.

    There is a simple solution to 80% of the problems on Cold. Advertisement. A simple trailer re-posted by the media team could help the network so much. New players join, community grows, new players apply and boom suddenly you have more options. But first you need someone who is capable of keeping everything in balance. Create liberty within the network, players have absolute freedom under certain rules and those who break them are severely punished. Make the server worth going on, involve the community with decisions and most importantly, Cold needs to change. Change is inevitable, it's up to Nick and the staff team if they want to change over time, or keep the same corrupt system that is currently in place.

    Or maybe I'm just wrong.
