imo? the only competent people working for rgl are on the anticheat team, and theyre HILARIOUSLY overworked, to the point where theyre barely better than esea in that regard. sigafoo doesn't care, i harassed him for six months to enable cloudflare, and even offered to do it myself, because i have exp with sysadmining. he said "eh" and it never happened. i never saw a trello or pinboard or any kind of organizational tool (outside of random gdocs scattered among 6 people's accounts) used in the entire organization, outside of the gfx team, which had an unused trello, and the ac team, which i wrote the form for and set up a google sheets page for. non ac reports would get ignored for weeks, or be unilaterally decided upon by a random admin and then exa/sig would rubber stamp it and send it out. i would get repeatedly yelled at for "mIsRePrEsEnTiNg ThE bRaND" for posts on my twitter account. i eventually got booted off after pug banning one too many people who called me a tranny in voice chat because apparently i needed to go through someone to do that? despite other admins/mods not being able to? what?
i'm with creators tf now, and while it may be a bit of a clusterfuck sometimes, the difference is insane. there's multiple git repositories. people have clear and well defined roles within the project. the moderation team is phenomenal and does research on every case they get sent. there's constant development on all fronts- website, gameserver, you name it. theres even a whole ass feedback channel that is regularly scraped from for new features or improvements to old ones. there's multiple trellos (internal and external), we have sentryio set up to log website and server errors. theres passion and care put into all aspects of the project, and there's great communication between all members.
theres none a that in rgl. sigafoo does not care. he is more than content having a barely functional c# disaster of a website, and the organization and the people in it seem to be content with having little to no communication and with next to nothing being done in terms of improving in general.
idk man. i have lost faith in the na esports scene. while i applaud rgl's stance on combatting bigotry, i think they should focus on more important things.
