new forum, WARNING: (Bylaws are not in effect yet) Options

[micron]

will separate into two forums if theres too many discussions, one for committee discussions and the other for public discussions. in the meantime, one will have to do.

guests may posts.

please tell me members who will be part of the committee. i will give them moderator rights to this forum.

[micron]

some things i would recommend doing first:

1. write a brief objective (pinned).
2. rules and regulations. for example, in my student assembly, we followroberts rules.

good luck and God bless!

[*incoherent*]

jusun, this is pretty cool. hopefully we can get everything set straight and end the rivalries, or at least come close.

[demolished]

Does this consider by-law ?

By-laws are more like global policies affecting the administration of the forum, not necessarily small, specific rules about posting, etc.

what rivalries?

[KissMe2408]

what rivalries?

^I think he's talking about the drama that comes after picking the mods and everything

[*incoherent*]

yeah. sorry, i havent came in this thread in awhile.

By-laws are a adopted set of rules and regulations to govern the internal management of an organization.

[demolished]

Oh i see, thanks.

[racoons > you]

I regret to inform everyone that Fae (Spirited Away) has removed herself from the committee as a member delegate, meaning that we are looking to fill one position

please Post here if you are interested, using your CB account.

All of Fae's votes up until this point remain valid

[*not_your_average*]

I'll take her spot.

[Rachel]

Or me =]

[racoons > you]

well, as rachel did submit an application originally, i think she gets teh spot. welcome to the team!

and radhika, you get priority if another spot opens up

= )

[racoons > you]

oh, and rache, fae's votes are still all valid, so in order not to upset the balance, please dont vote on any issues where she has already cast a ballot.

i'm not entirely sure that tere are any still open, but just have a check, yeah?

[Rachel]

No problemo dear. Thankies

I don't see why you didn't just choose from the original pool of applicants. It doesn't seem fair, I'm sure, not only to me, but others as well. I doubt many others have even taken note of the shortly-open position.

[*incoherent*]

i think rachel had applied before, but just didnt get picked.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Well yea, but why did it have to be the first person that had already applied and posted here?

[*Azarel*]

i think rachel had applied before, but just didnt get picked.

So? I and many others also applied before, too. So how is that even in the least bit fair? Seems like favoritism.

[*incoherent*]

i didnt know you had applied.

[*Azarel*]

Shrug. I applied a little late, if I remember. Whatever.

[*incoherent*]

alright, im not saying this to side with anna, but it seems that having 11 members will ensure that our vote does not come out even.

[*mzkandi*]

But thats the point, to have the same number from both sides. And that problem hasnt come up yet anyways ans if it does we already have a way to deal with it.

[*incoherent*]

alright...i guess ill leave it at that.

[Rachel]

Hey, I don't mind if you want to look at other people.

It isn't favoritism, maybe he just thought that no one else who applied would want it.

Go ahead and ask again, I don't really care.

[*tweeak*]

But if they suddenly change their minds and go for Anna over Rachel, that wouldn't be fair either

[Rachel]

Well I don't want to cause a scene over it. Whatever ya'll decide will be fine.

[*Azarel*]

But if they suddenly change their minds and go for Anna over Rachel, that wouldn't be fair either

Uh.

...

I'm not asking to be chosen for the committee.

[sadolakced acid]

then what exactley is in discussion now?

[*mzkandi*]

^ Someone taking Fae's spot on the commitee. It was being said they (whoever is choosing to replace her) should go over the existing applicants of people werent chosen and appoint a new commitee member from those.

[*incoherent*]

we seem good at voting. why dont we get all the applicants names together and vote on who we feel should take the spot.

[*mzkandi*]

^ Sure...you get the names, I'm too lazy right now

[*incoherent*]

i dont even remember where they are

*looks*

members:
its too cluttered that i cant seem to tell who wants on and who doesnt.

[Heathasm]

didnt micron give james the privledge to pick whos on the committe? why should we vote o.o

[*Azarel*]

didnt micron give james the privledge to pick whos on the committe? why should we vote o.o

Shrug. I never mentioned anything about a vote. It just seemed that this time around, James just chose from two people rather than from the original pool.

[sadolakced acid]

well, i think it's fine.

fae's an ex mod, rachel's an ex mod. makes sense.

[racoons > you]

i chose from radhika and rachel because i had made that post a couple of days before i made the selection, and they were the two who expressed interest. i wanted someone who was checking regularly, and the people who saw it and replied promptly seemed to fit that best.

and out of the two, i chose rachel because she had applied originally.

[*disco infiltrator*]

You posted it the day before either of them posted and they posted only 3 minutes apart, at the end of the day.

Besides, I didn't even think to check the "new forum" topic before someone sent me here. I don't think "new forum" screams out "apply if you're interested here".

I don't know, you could've given more people a chance to even notice it was in here..I wouldn't have even gone here.

[racoons > you]

*shrugs*

i dont have the ability to create new topics at the moment, nor to pm anyone to do it for me. out of the existing threads, this seemed the best bet.

at the end of the day, unless any one has an issue with the actual person who got on the committee, i dont see why this needs to be an issue.

[Rachel]

Then make a topic somewhere, like the lounge, announcing an opening. It is fine with me.

[Ps, I am going to be out of town until tomorrow night so I guess I'll just find out then no?]

[racoons > you]

im not going to ask rachel to step down, and i'm not going to redo this appointement

however, i'll keep this in mind should it become an issue again

[racoons > you]

someone asked me, and just6 to clarify, nicki will still havea moderator vote and palce on the committee during her suspension

[Rachel]

^I heart your typing.

[*mona lisa*]

Who's in place of Fae since she stepped down from By-Laws?

[*tweeak*]

Rachel, I think.

[racoons > you]

yes. rachel got her place

[Rachel]

Random but, am I going to get the mod powers for being on the committee? I don't really care either way actually, just been on my mind.

[racoons > you]

OOPS.

my advice is too pm jusun or an admin (admin is probably a better bet) to give you the powers... i would have dealt with it earlier, but it slipped my mind, sorry

[*tweeak*]

HEY I still have modly powers in here

[sadolakced acid]

^ you haven't been decommittieized, after all.

[*tweeak*]

Yes, but I thought all mods could mod here, so I didn't think there'd be anything making me officially official.

[*mona lisa*]

I removed Fae's moderating abilities in By-Laws and added Rachel.

[Rachel]

Ooo lala, thank you my dear!

[DaTru KataLYST]

wonderful forum, seems to be making bunches of progress!

Is there a list of the committee? Wondering for curiousity sake.

[*mzkandi*]

^
tweeak
disco infiltrator
heathasm
incoherent
kissme2408
mipadi
mzkandi
rachel is love
racoons>you
Spiritual Winged Aura

[*incoherent*]

^
tweeak is on committee as well.

[Rachel]

^She is first on the list....

[*incoherent*]

^
she wasnt at first.

[ClaudelGFX]

(Offtopic) Somewhere in time if any1 still remembers ive said some words about Mods/Admins, I guess i was right.

[*incoherent*]

(Offtopic) Somewhere in time if any1 still remembers ive said some words about Mods/Admins, I guess i was right.

stop it now. we already know you are off topic. stop putting that in all your posts and stop degrading the mods. i seriously see now why people were happy you left. stop trying to start chaos and just post nicely.

[*tweeak*]

Seriously. Problem = resolved. Also, nothing you could have predicted. You don't understand what happened, therefore, don't talk, especially about things that have been resolved.

Besides which, stop posting things if they're "(offtopic)." That's called spam, remember?

[ClaudelGFX]

(Off-topic)
^@tweeak since ur in committee you already should know this.
"(off-topic)" means writing something which has nothing to do with the subject the message board is there for but it's related with a reply/post from that message board and its used to Avoid Spam. *( i've learn`it from about 4 years of Admin on message boards, but i dont think you have that much as a Moderator even, just saying)

Just my opinion, Goodluck with By-Laws.

[*tweeak*]

It's not spam aversion if it's still spam. Acknowledging that doesn't change it.

And just out of curiosity, was do they speak English on that forum?

[*Guest*]

we need another staff and another member committee member to replace nicki and myself.

[Rachel]

^How long are you suspended/banned (I don't know which one it is) for?

[Rachel]

Well, I personally don't think we should get a whole new regular member to replace James. He, along with Justin, thought up of the idea of by-laws. Maybe we could find a replacement, just for the month?

[Rachel]

Allllright. Well I suggest we post a thread somewhere more in the public eye asking for people who are interested and then those who are still on the staff will decide who we think is best.

[*mona lisa*]

Well, Nicki can take James' place permanently and Suzzette can take Nicki's for the staff part of the committee as she sparked interest...if that's fine with you.

[*incoherent*]

that seems fine with me if thats what everyone else wants. it doesnt really make any difference to me.

Gettin weird O.o

[*incoherent*]

^
you seriously need to stop spamming.

[sadolakced acid]

retrogressive has stated interest to me with PMs.

[*incoherent*]

retrogressive has stated interest to me with PMs.

we need a staff member though.

nicki should remain on staff, but since james has been suspended, nicki can just take his part as stated. i guess we could hold openings for the staff position, but i dont know who all wants to be on.

[Rachel]

^Thats why I suggested making a topic somewhere other then here to see who wants to join.


I don't really think we should just automatically put Nicki or Suzzette on the committee. Yes Nicki was on already, but we should see how many members are interested first.

Same with staff members.

[*incoherent*]

alright, then someone should make a topic.

everyone who is interested can post in it within a certain amount of time. we can then compile the list and vote.

maybe kiera can make it in the lounge and pin it?

[Sunny Day Blues]

why doesnt nicki have my member spot, and then, as michael is more or less garunteed to be modded, he can fill her spot, so that we dont have to deal with the issue of what to do with him later.

oh, and im going to use this to post here, as i can do it legally as a guest anyway, and that way people can tell who i am

[*incoherent*]

^
james?

anyway, i think were just going to vote on it.

and i bet there are no guarentees on modding. everyone thought michael would be modded last time and he wasnt.

[*mzkandi*]

WAITTTTTTTTTT....on this people.

[Sunny Day Blues]

wiat on what?

[*incoherent*]

okay...since nicki hasnt stepped down, she will fill james position and kiera is going to make a topic backstage to find a staff member to take over nickis old position.

[*Guest*]

well that is inconvenient.

i'll be posting as a guest here, then

[*incoherent*]

well that is inconvenient.

i'll be posting as a guest here, then

whats inconvenient?

[*Guest*]

kiera suspended my sunny day account

[Mulder]

does it have to be a staff member?

[*Guest*]

well, its a staff position.

so yes, really

[*incoherent*]

hmm...you got suspended again?

james...if you have aim...i/m me at sp3nca

[*Guest*]

well, i asumed i would, but i thought it would be worth doing it for convenience's sake

[Rachel]

Wait, I don't think all of us want to just put Nicki on and have staff deal with the staff member. [Now don't get me wrong, I love Nicki, but I think it would be more fair to open the floor up to all!]

I think it should be open to all and that we should have input on who comes on as staff.

[sadolakced acid]

for sake of fairness, i believe every member who has posted in bylaws should be "nominated"

then run it like new staff are being chosen. have the remaining committee choose.

[Rachel]

Exactly.

Some people had a fit when James put me on staff without any question, so this time I believe we should do it this way.

[*Guest*]

to be fair, only two people applied.

and you had applied before.

so there was method.

but anyway

[*mzkandi*]

It doesnt matter to me, but I see what Rachel is saying...make a thread announcing it then or something, I guess.

[sadolakced acid]

make a thread HERE.

if people don't read this forum, it's thier fault and we probably don't want them on a committee either.

[*mzkandi*]

^ Too late.
http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=112807

[Rachel]

^I think by here, he meant by-laws. If so, then you did what he wanted.

So is that just for regular member or staff as well? I think that the whole committee should have some say on which two people come in, regular and staff wise.

[*mzkandi*]

^ This is regular for right now, I believe.

[*tweeak*]

I'm failing to see why I shouldn't take the position, seeing as I haven't actually been kicked off the committee at all, and also because Mona had suggested I take his place already

[*mzkandi*]

I didnt bring up the issue, I was fine you staying on the committee but every else seems to think its not fair -shrugs- Whatever they want......I dont care.

[sadolakced acid]

if that's the case, then you have to say nicki's position was changed from staff member to nonstaff member, not she's simply given the position.

then, yes, that would be considered fair.
