[member="Hal Terrano"] 's right.
You only really notice the "clique" when you want to/feel you should be included and for whatever reason, aren't. You're "the King of Coruscant, so they should totally be consulting you before they pave it over or whatever." Of course, there's billions of posts going up daily, so they're only going to actually read the posts that either pertain directly to them and their characters, or are by people they know maintain a quality standard that won't ultimately be a waste of their limited time.
This doesn't change when you're in a staff position, or even when you're in charge of a cataclysmic event.
Focus on your work, do you, and eventually, other people will take notice and you will be impossible to ignore.
There are a lot of sour hearts in this thread. Based on the names I'm seeing, well, this:
We get it. You got in trouble recently, and your perception has shifted from "being in and untouchable" to "being out and vulnerable," so now you're paranoid that everyone's out to get you because they can. And maybe they should be. Back when you had clout, you weren't particularly nice to people and routinely engaged in the same type of behavior you're now trying to rally against. Maybe the poison you see in the world is coming from you? Listen to the way you talk about yourselves. "The next social pariah." "The most hated person on Chaos." Nobody's even thinking about you. Or, at least, they wouldn't be, if you weren't taking every opportunity to remind them how much you totally suck with your toxic-ass posts. I mean, really, "massive cliche"? A podcast is, at best, an advertisement and, at worst, a yearbook -- And that's the phrase you decide to broadcast?
Really, though, the biggest problem I see in terms of "Clique" behavior is the mass-Liking of posts that are of an aggressive, insulting, or disciplinary nature toward people they personally don't like. I have only ever seen three staffers indulge in this behavior in the history of this site.
