After reading a lot of new people's takes on how they think the Academy could be “improved” I was reminded of these great news posts. Several new people are talking about how the point system is flawed and basically complaining that they are not being recognized as the uber leet players that they are. The Academy is not here so that we can recognize someone’s great game skill. I think reading these two news threads might help some of the newer people understand the history of the Academy and why things are the way they. As a new member, it’s not a bad idea to go back through a lot of the old news. It might help you make more informed posts. Especially if you just want to whine and complain. At least know what you are whining and complaining about.

So here are the links:

Sorry to keep posting but I just found this AWESOME news post by none other than DJ Sith that fits this subject nicely:

“ Just to clear up a few things... since Knights get limited access powers to help keep the peace there are quite a few things we look at when marking a Journeyman as Knight eligible. We nominate those that we are positive are responsible and respectable. Skill comes in a distant second on this aspect of Knighthood. We don't nominate people who we know are disrespectful. We also don't nominate people we don't know. This isn't an overnight thing. It will take some time for us to get to know you (and for you to know us). We only nominate those we are absolutely sure of in terms of resolve and maturity to handle their new responsibilities. To re-iterate: we don't nominate people we don't know or don't know well.

Ok enough lecture.. carry on”

Also be sure to read the Rules FAQ and About Us pages. And realize that a lot of people who leave comments in places aren't always being serious in their posts and you should take some things with a grain of salt as the saying goes I believe.
