personally, I believe that you should be allowed to call the staff for anything out on what they do, if it is bad, and that the definition of constructive criticism should be considered by the staff for any organization corporation or franchise or business or whatever to be very, very broad, especially if they have the capability to silence dissenting opinion censoring it; otherwise you'll just open yourself up to the Streisand effect
I'll trust that the staff will " stay in line" like they have been so far, and I'd rather not define what that means beyond having alot of self-respect
if you don't wanna change that part of your ToU, thats fine by me as long as you have enough self-respect and, for one example, do not bow down to money, even if the server gets a million players or something
please keep in mind that I am actually partially censoring myself in fear that I'll get banned, or something, if I say much more
EDIT: for the sake of clarity, I think that any administration on Earth can become corrupt, if enough money is involved
