Title: Re:Gone Fishing... Post by: BFG on May 05, 2004, 09:17:21 pm Quote What if ppl were just given a "forum-clown-hat" instead of banning ? Wearing a clown-hat meant that everybody could say anything they wanted to you, without being punished - and your own remarks would never count or need an answer from anybody. just how many bans are handed out on these forums? and well some people wear the clown hat allready without any help. Quote What if new admins had one season of viewing-rights, but had no voice-right or voting-right, until their first season was over ? Then they would see how the current members administered the BL... New members are needed becasue old ones depart, unless you couldn't leave without a seasons pre-warning so that a replacement could be found, then each time the admins would be constantly understaffed woulnd't they? Obviously its ideal to have the best possible people doing the job with as much info as possible, but its a leaning process, people learn from their mistakes and from following others. Quote What if we had one "most-honorable clan" prize, for each season ? People get reputations by their behavior and their actions, not awards. Just imagine the arguments people would have over the prize, over who was a good person/group of people to decide on that award, and on what grounds... ps... can u get me a larger clown hat please? my ears are sticking out ;) just fixing your broken quote tag BFG... -Alaric Title: Re:Gone Fishing...

Wearing a clown-hat meant that everybody could say anything they wanted to you, without being punished - and your own remarks would never count or need an answer from anybody. To echo BFG, exactly how many bans do get handed out here? Very, very few. And I'm not sure what you're suggesting here, it sounds a bit like a vigilante-style beat down to me. What if new admins had one season of viewing-rights, but had no voice-right or voting-right, until their first season was over ? I'm pretty sure this comment is directed at me. And to answer: I have had a season of viewing rights, through my clan mates. I've seen what works, and what doesn't. That's why I was ready to make changes as soon as I came in. What if we had one "most-honorable clan" prize, for each season ? I dunno, this sounds a lot like a popularity contest to me, and I for one left those behind in junior high. But I do understand what you're trying to say flies, and you are far from the first to say it. I've posted myself on similar topics in similar threads, as have many others. Yes, it's sad that things aren't the way they used to be. But things change and it's hard, if not impossible, to turn back the clock. All we can do now is move forward and try to keep improving things and making this a better league for all involved. |
