I'm a-leaving for a weekend in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, June 22 2005 20:07 Profile Homepage #0 Vacation time for me. This evening, I'll journey to Bavaria in order to meet up with a bunch of other fantasy-writing geeks for a general Santharian get-together. Over the weekend, it is doubtful I will have internet access, and though I will take my laptop, it is doubtful I will even have time to switch it on. I return on Monday. So I guess you'll have to cope without me for four long, long days. Don't wreck the place - if there were anything to wreck here, of course. Don't start the election without me. :( Have fun! --- Aran :) -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Debate #1 for Moderator Election in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, June 22 2005 12:41 Profile Homepage #5 The appropriate reactions appear to be near unanimous: A lock/admin report, a stern clearing of the throat, and a lock, in that order. Imban, Alo, Schrodinger or Saunders, the reactions are the same, even if they're accompanied by the moderator's respective idiosyncracy ("Death by Sniping", "Sword of Fluffyness", etc.) Why is this? For the first, of course, the CoC is pretty clear on the subject. Which means that moderators aren't really able or compelled to use their own judgement. If someone asks for/provides a keycode, the CoC takes over. (Unless of course it's some jokester posting a parody topic along the lines of "OMG PL33z SUM-1 GIV ME TEH c0de for galactice core!!!", in which case just a lock is enough, accompanied by an appropriate move of the topic to the relevant RWG forum). Other than that, sympathy for a piracy-requester are at rock-bottom, which means the topics are usually a free-for-all of profanity and/or images. It would be good for any moderator to keep in mind this aspect of "vigilante justice" and draw the line somewhere - perhaps editing overly profane posts. This does not extend to witty humor of course - the clause of the CoC forbids harassment of a "fellow member", a protection that does not seem to include banned would-be pirates. The second has varying degrees of severity. Several things I've learned: - Bypassing any filters merits a mod-edit. ("Bad TM.") - Posting a bad graphic/link to a bad graphic can get the oldest of oldbies banned. - Oldbies are known to get away with more than newbies. Why the third? Because oldbies show better judgement in how far they can go? Because they're better persons? This would make a far better point of argument than piracy requests. The third requires a lock, plain and simple. Optionally a big image. -------- These are really simple, non-debatable issues. The only thing it can show is the degree of humor a moderator could employ in dealing with idiocy, or the degree of nepotism towards oldbies. Why not address more complicated issues? For the next debate, I'd like to nominate the following, which are not that clear-cut as the above points: - Roleplays This does not apply as much as it once did, but it is still relevant. What to do with a roleplay, or more specifically, a broken roleplay? - Political debates Moderators have opinions. They can't help it. When the flames fly on the subject of abortion, homosexuality and Iraq, what does the moderator do? - Oldbie Privilege Oldbies have been known to make a mess. Sometimes more than newbies. In conflicts between several respected oldbies (or, more pertinently, a -deserved?- witch hunt against a newer member), what to do there? -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Being commonly cut off from the internet for less than five hours a day (plus sleep), I am ready to deal with any occurrences almost immediately. Plus, any crap that gets posted by half-asleep Americans after midnight (which makes up most of the more senseless stuff) I will see in the morning, when I am awake, fresh and clear of mind, able to make a sound decision.

Your most memorable High School moment in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, June 21 2005 19:12 Profile Homepage #30 quote: Originally written by Ms Marlenny: um, there were so many memorable moments. When I was in 11 grade truth or dare was a part of our high school life. Once one of my friends (a 15 year old guy) was dared to take off his pants and stay in his underwear in front of the classroom, which he refused. Therefore, another of ours friend decided that it would be funny if he took off the guy's pants and by mistake he ended up taking off the guy's pants and underwear in front of the entire class. Graduation dinner was pretty memorable too, since we decided to burn all of our books and notebooks as a way to let go of our high school past (not the smartest thing to do, yet it felt kind of liberating). It was really sad, but we all loved being there and just getting ready for a new life. There are many more, but those two were the most memorable. When exams were drawing closer, some of our German class decided to celebrate by trashing their textbooks. Half of us ended up doing that, and it turned out we still needed them. :P Lesson: If you're going to destroy your learning materials, be sure to wait until after graduation... -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!
