Perhaps, I'm out of line, but please take this constructive criticism to heart.
Users want the presentation of a PLAN to implement changes they can read through.
Users want to be FOREWARNED of potential changes for more than a day or a week.
This allows them to PREPARE for what is coming.
Users want to PROVIDE feedback, whether positive or negative, and
The Administrator should want to WELCOME such feedback as a guide for implementation,
All to keep the forum alive, and to keep the users interested in FUNDING the forum and RETURNING.
Deleting the Poll with all comments,
and dropping all protections,
just because people are frustrated with how ideas are implemented,
and then voicing their opinions on a forum,
seems like poor administration of the forum.
Perhaps take to heart what the users are frustrated with and try to present a plan to the community to solve these issues:
Constant changes without notice,
Working on, then breaking features that do not need to be worked on,
Deletion of games, images, threads,
Having an economy based forum,
Loss of coins,
Changing Ranks,
ETC.
At least the poll was an attempt to see how the users wanted to proceed with what was being proposed.
