[serious] OTF Moderation input

[duke o' york]

I think CyberShy should have renamed himself to RobP.

Yeah, and run polycasts.

[onodera]

Yeah, and run pandacasts.

Fixed that for you.

[duke o' york]

Much obliged.

[self biased]

i think that joke was made elsewhere, onodera.

SORT YOUR ****ING SERVER PROBLEMS!!!

Seriously guys, the only reason Weeping Panda C**ts is still alive is because your crappy server is busy giving them oxygen...

[Robert]

We're trying.
Ít's had to both get yourself familiar with a very complicated configuration and fix problems at the same time.

[TCO]

[SlowwHand]

Get TCO to fix it. Evidently he knows all about it.

[ZEE]

Helpful.

1. What is the purpose of the OTF forum

spam

2. How should we deal with personal attacks, flames, etc.

encourage them. They make this forum worthwile.

3. How should we deal with thread jacking

Encourage, unless it's in my thread

4. How should we deal with user-spam (not commercial spam)

praise

6. Are there reasons for you to post or not post in this forum

I am used to it, I know the people. Lately there's too few people and it gets boring. It's a spirale going down. Less people --> tediousness --> people leaving --> less people -->...

7. Do you like the idea of a 'closed threads' forum, or do you prefer to keep closed threads in the forum, or do you prefer them to be deleted completely?

I like the idea

8. What can in general be done to make the OTF a better place

We should all draw frogs
And get LS back

9. What should remain to keep the OTF a good place?

me

10. Anything else?

I think re-introducing postcount to OT was a bad idea. To get +1s people had to be more creative and visit on-topic fora. Now they don't.
I think deleting AC forum was a bad idea. It was a great outlet of my uh creativity when there were no +1s

I think mods should be strict, but not as strict as in CFC
and forgive some stuff if it's fun and/or creative, but punish personal insults.
I can't remember when was the last time someone got a temporal ban here, and there were some due.

We should consider a spam-mail campaign advertising our forum

Also, I think we need
- frog
- vomit
- better crying
- crab
- happyputin
smileys.
They will save Poly

Also, I want my stolen 500 posts back.

We should make a forum with only the classical threads available. New classical threads can be elected by voting.

Each Apolyton member should lure a family member to join. If you don't lure a new person each month, your account gets deleted, and these funny creatures kill a kitten.

Servers must be fixed!!!!!!

CFC's servers must be destroyed!

Did I mention we should have a frog smiley?

QFT!

I have troubles understanding that. Care to elaborate?

"I mean this with utmost sincerity, my brethren. The sole cause for the continued existence of WePlayCiv is that Apolyton's inability to provide quality service is reflecting well upon them by comparison. Three thumbs in the descending attitude."

Now I see!

If it was easy to sort out all the server problems they'd have done it already.

Do people think that the new admins are happy with the current situation?

Of course not, they are working really hard to first understand and improve what is a very complicated set-up. If they jumped straight in and started changing stuff without understanding what the problems are and without developing a really good strategy on how to fix them, it'd probably make things worse.

But, shouting invective at them in big letters will probably help speed up the process so please continue.
