Hello, friends. I'm going to monologue about things. Things minor enough that they don't actually warrant doing anything about, but things I feel are important enough to mention anyway for anybody who cares to read them.

The one I'm talking about today is probably very familiar to a lot of you.

Why can't you block staff members in any way, shape, or form? I can understand the inability to block their PMs and such, but you should be able to block their signatures at the very least. Maybe even block their posts (Posts should show up in Canterlot Castle regardless of whether or not they're blocked). Even is such a feat isn't really possible it's not like they can't click the "read anyway" button when it's something that they have to read.

I know that you shouldn't be able to ignore the things they say as part of their job, but it annoys me that this immunity extends to all of their posts/blogs/etc. It certainly doesn't help the perception of the staff being high and mighty above everybody else.

Because when it comes down to it, there are staff members who don't actually do anything on the site that necessitates reading their posts, but they still have the immunity to blocking. In addition, you don't have to read a moderator's posts for them to do their jobs. If they need to take professional action they can either issue a warning or send a PM. I have never seen a moderator or Admin that says things crucial to the forums often enough that their posts should have to be shown 100% of the time.

The reason I don't bring it up anywhere but this blog is I'm pretty sure fixing the problem ranges somewhere between unlikely and impossible.

Alright, I'm done ranting for now.
