At what point, if any, do you consider it your duty to the community, and not the owner of the game, to appease those in the community who have some opposing views? Do their opinions come under consideration at all, on any level of administration?

I cannot understand why something so simple is not understood.
My personal feelings do not matter in the least when it comes to doing this job the way the owner wishes.
If I personally do not agree with it, then I would quit if it were not to be changed. Why? It's simple, and I have said it over and over again, it's because these forums do not belong to me, and it is up to the owner as to how it should be run.
You know, just because members do not post, does not mean they do not read the forums.
The thing is that alot of people read the forums for informational purposes, but prefer not to post.
I know because I have given links many times to certain parts of the forums to people.
Accounts are not innactive on the forums just because they don't post, they may actively view the forums.
You could have no idea how many members view these forums, so the bases for what you say is based on who actually posts, which is not a fair estimate.
The community does not repeatedly ask me to stop doing things, only a small portion of the community.
Do you really think it is fair for a few members to expect me to stop doing the job that I was hired to do because they don't think it is fair?
Do you really think that I should disregard what the owners want because a few members don't think it is fair?
Do you think it is fair to attack me for doing the job I was hired to do?
What I see, is that you think I should pick out some things that the owners want me to enforce, and to not enforce them because some of the community are upset by it. Do you honestly think that is fair for me to do on forums of which I do not own?
If I cannot do something 100%, then I won't do it at all
