Phew, ok!

[Darkmatter]

I've been a bit busy with stuff at home, and at work. But I've finally got a nice, clear day to start using my powers to better the forums, one step at a time. Here is a checklist of nearly all the things I want to do with the responsibilities given to me by the administrators. I'll likely add onto it as I go, but for now this is what I want to accomplish:

Make a new signature guidelines thread. [x]
Help out with other forums specific needs. [x]
Settle the deal with Jenny and her accounts. [x]
Find a working RPG Hack to give points a more defined use. []
Give ideas and possibly help build the BattleForums D2 Mod. []
Advertise our forums as a certain type of social community.* []
Remove inactive moderators and instate determined ones. [x]
Inspire forum moderators to do things with their forums besides moderating them. []
Add some new smilies, gifts, and other misc. fun stuff. []
Create a new ruleset for The Asylum. []
Make a firm stance for all members of staff to respect each other and not be biased. []
Revamp/clean up the way the Infraction System works (remove ones that need to be expired, clear up misc. ones, etc). []
Remove the tournament info from profiles as they are not needed. [x]
Add/remove elders based on activity. [x]
Make an affirm thread in each Staff Forum urging/reminding moderators of those sections that not all is lost, aand that I'm here to work with them. [x]
Focus on the Gaming Forums for improvement and change. [x]

* I'm not sure what you guys are doing about this, but I think we need a direction for these forums before we can make any long-term and permanent changes to games, or fundamental changes period. Thoughts?

I'll start this by adding the Signature Guidelines later today.

If you want help, I'm bored.

 

[Darkmatter]

I'll let you know if I do...you're certainly active enough. xD

 

[Andrew]

I'm usually active as long as I'm not doing school work or spending time with Arielle. I might get a job soon, but that still wouldn't take up all my time. ._.

 

[Darkmatter]

It'll take up a bit. Trust me!

Could an admin clarify how to change the tournament stuff in profiles?

 

[Andrew]

Just message me if you want.

I'm going to go lie down... zzzzzzzzzzz.

 

[CelestialBadger]

start using my powers to better the forums

my hero!

Can I write the new rules for the asylum?

 

[Darkmatter]

You'd have to let me see them first...though I believe x42bn6 would likely decide if they go in finalized or not. You do moderate General though, so have at it.

 

[Renzokuken]

The first rule of the Asylum: There is no Asylum.

 

[Andrew]

Then what is the Asylum I see there?

(Yeah I know what you said)

 

[CelestialBadger]

I was just going to sticky a thread that said "Go ****ing nuts." I'd probably bypass the swear filter too.

 

[Darkmatter]

But we already do that!

One checked off!

 

[jd-inflames]

While you are on an "omg help us!" rampage, what exactly is this "BF D2 mod"? I tried reading the thread and almost wanted to hang myself.

I assumed it had something to do with going back to 1.10, which is why I'm reinstalling as I post this message.

 

[Andrew]

But we already do that!

One checked off!

What's next?:blah

 

[Darkmatter]

Not sure...we'll see.

It's a mod that Vadriel and the D2 Leaders are throwing ideas around for...they're going to learn how to mod then make a D2 Mod specifically for us.

 

[Darkmatter]

Adding and removing elders today, and going to try and remove that Tourney thing from the profiles. '

Removed inactive moderators 2 days ago, added 1 new moderator.

 

[Renzokuken]

Who's the newbie?

 

[LordNevar]

<Looks around> I see me, but there's no newbie standing around.

 

[Darkmatter]

Any one have any idea how to edit whats in peoples profiles globally? I really want to remove that damn tourney stuff.

I'm also going to discuss with the admins about a new Asylum Guidelines Thread...hopefully one that will be enforced.
