Well, it's gotta be done if it's gotta be done.
That's not my point, sure everyone hates meetings, in a perfect world we wouldn't need them, my point is that it seemed at times people were in there to just fuck around and get attention by interrupting in a lolrandumb way instead of legitimately learning about the rules. And, every admin in there should know all of the rules front to back so there's no reason to not only read out every single rule, but to painstakingly explain the rule itself as well as several examples for each rules.
My ideal admin meeting goes like this: the first 15-30 minutes is reading out the rules and admin expectations, then the rest of the meeting is answering people's questions and calling votes (30-90 minutes depending on the meeting). This is more than doable. What we had last meeting was this: read out a rule. Explain the rule. Explain the rule in 5 different ways because people couldn't understand it for some reason. Give examples of the rule being applied. Talk about calling votes. People coming back from being afk asking for another explanation. Call a vote. People ask what the vote is about because the vote wasn't explained correctly or they somehow didn't understand how to vote on the issue.
What it should be: read out all rules, then have the actual meeting where people ask for clarifications, and then vote depending on what the admins think will help the server run the most efficiently.

You shit on how the meeting was run yet leave before it's halfway done and get upset when I post what happened during it, despite you missing the most of it. I have yet to see how it could have been improved, despite the fact that it was clearly outlined in the thread of how it was going to be run, and it was done exactly as such.
As I've said (too many times now) I could only dedicate 2 hours, which is more than reasonable to expect from people on a sunday afternoon / evening.
As for your second statement, you can't see how it can be improved? So you think the meeting was absolutely perfect? There's always room for improvement, see my reply to Central.
