Awww. Thanks, Nicki! :D <3

I think all of the mods chosen are very dedicated and hardworking. I see no problem at all. ( Not that I'm saying any of you guys do.)

f**k off. When I see a good idea, I'll acknowledge it.

f**k off yourself.

you told me yesterday that you didnt care about what was being suggested in the feedback forum. how will you ever see a good idea with that attitude?

actually, i was suggesting that the community make the bylaws.

oh, good!

then i agree.

although if we try and have mass input, say in one thread its going to be messy, lots of distracting arguments, repetiotion etc.

how about we assign a committee, say, 5 members, 5 staff, probably including at least one headstaff, who can deal with it on an invision board

that's not what I said at all. don't twist my words.

^2 How exactly does that involve the community, again? Community input was what kept the cB rev alive.

If you're going to choose members, isnt that in some ways like picking staff? You can't just assume the staff is biased because they don't agree with you. You're obnoxious when you argue.

Yeah, Kiera makes a point too. And she wasn't staff when that went on, either.

well, perhaps we assign 10 people to do the actual writing, but make teh invisionboard open for everyone to view, then they can pm ideas to posters for discussion, if they see something going disasterously wrong

as for who would write it, it shouldnt matter, as they wouldnt be directly representing their own views. i just thought we would ask for volunteers, and take the first 5 from each (excluding any obvious time wasters)

*shrugs* it was just an idea to keep things tdy, i dont really feel strongly about it one way or the other.

and nicki, i was barely tweeking your words. your words were 'i dont care'

nicki, what do you mean?

james, if the by-laws are going to be written, ill step up and help.

yes, but on an entirely different matter. we cannot have another topic backstage for every topic presented in feedback. that's unreasonable.


I don't understand how Michael didn't make it if that was the case.

oh, i see now. i was wondering about that today when i was semi talking to him in p/ms

it was hardly an entirey different matter. and i didnt sy each issue deserved a seperate thread, just that it deserved at lest an appropriate amount of discussion.
if you would like, i could post our converssation here

No, not everything does. There's a fine line between being open-minded and conosidering things that shouldn't be considered. It's not like we don't consider things. However, we cannot just change everything on the whim of someone who doesn't fully understand how it is to run this forum.

here the revolution goes again.

james and nicki- why have you been fighting so much lately? you used to get along so well.

i said that everything deserves the appropriate amount of consideration. suggestions like 'lets give everyone with 50 posts modding powers' (or whatever) deserves zero consideration

however, there have been ideas in here which have not been given due attention. or, if they have, we havent been told, which is just not good sense

spencer - im not trying to have a revolution... this thread is jus tnconveniently named

no, the whole revolution comment wasnt directed in your way, nor nicki's. it just seems that no one is getting along now that the new staff has been named.

oh.

well, please no one interpret this to mean that i am in ANY way dissatisfied with the choice of staff... i most certainly am not

sounds good to me. ill let you and sadolakced acid appoint the 5 members, since you two seem to be more inclined than most in cb politics. you may appoint yourselves. ill see who from the staff team wishes to participate and come up with the five staff.

we'll need a temporary subforum during the creation of the bylaws. one pinned topic with the most current working copy of the bylaws. and the forum open to everyone for input and discussion. the process will be completely transparant, anyone can bring up anything they want to see in the bylaws. the committee will have to come to a consensus in what to include and what to leave out. they will be the ones that will do the actual writing of the working copy of the bylaws.

the bylaws should include how it will be approved, terminated, ammendments (vote by community? staff? etc). lets make this thorough please.

ill check back tonight. im the meantime, google is our friend.

oh yea, when you appoint people, try to get a diverse group, not just your allies. i will be looking to do the same.

^

yay!

do we want a subforum, or should we have an invison board, with one forum for suggestions from members, and then another where we actually hammer out details, and do the writing

i appoint myself, and specer, as he expressed interest.

reserving one spot for justin, assuming he wants it, would anyone other memeber care to voulnteer. and duly noted about balance. we need a couple of girls, preferabley someone with somewhat cponservative views towards createblog, as well as someone more centerist

I will volunteer from the mod side.

As do I

haha specer.

lol. james i just p/med you. just ignore it. its about signing up for it.
