Please explain why Admins have to (or have in the past) play the game?Jedi~Tank wrote:I disagree with the notion someone outside the game should be brought in, this should be done by people that play the game.

Please point out which rule that the Admins would have to uphold has anything to do with ingame?
I accept that some staff, maybe just Mods should have at least played the game to have an understanding of it. But the Admins are here to administer the forums and ensure that the forums run smoothly and that the rules are being up held. The rules have absolutely no connection to the game.
Please explain why you are against anyone outside coming in?
