Re: Admin Chatter

#1081

Was it a stub to start with? Its a stub now, and while that is okay, it was fine as a sub. Maybe a 2.5 er, but a sub nonetheless.

Dont believe it was rg who challenged it.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1082

I popped it into Stub and sent him a PM. Figured it would save us all in the long run as it is a fairly plain sub without some other content to boost it up.

I am not ready to do anything with RG yet.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1083

I think responding to Rg in anything more then ignoring him will be feeding thr troll.
Low votes and non abusive comments are part of having an open system and i want an open system.

Ignore him.

As i said before, its the derth of the positive that makes the negative stand out. If he pisses you off, spend your energy promoting other subs or working on your own.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1084

I am not ready to do anything with RG yet.

In that case any particular order on how to handle any potential flame up between RG and Kassy?

I think responding to Rg in anything more then ignoring him will be feeding thr troll.

Ignore him.

I believe it's too late for that; given Kassy has responded to RG's bullying with low votes and snarky comments on his subs I feel the situation will likely soon escalate and no doubt drag other Strolenites into the mess when one or the other makes a thread/comment in the forums or chat box about it.

― John Stuart Mill

We stand by and let these two fight it out, I foresee it turning into another mess in the forums and creating a headache/drama/flame war we could have easily prevented.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1087

I don't foresee that at all. If it happens, let it. We will deal with it when it does. Or let me be more forward and say, I'll deal with it. I've managed to solve similar (but MUCH bigger and badder) situations here before. :up:

Re: Admin Chatter

#1088

You know Kassy pretty well by now Muro, (and her.. difficulties) I don't envy you the difficulty of attempting to convince her to stand down if she perceives she's being treated unfairly and believes RG is being given a free pass on this.

My understanding was we were supposed to handle theses kinds of things behind the scenes and not let it become a public spectacle?

Waiting till it becomes a open issue seems to go contrary to this operative guideline? :?

Re: Admin Chatter

#1089

Frankly. Rg has to do more before i think administrative action is required. 2 recent downvotes is not a pattern.
As soon as i see a comment that does not have any value, I will remove it. I beleive the other admins will as well.

I think kassys reaction unfortunate, but unless it escalates further, I dont think further action is warrented.

The voting system is there. Subs are open for opinion. Sometimes that opens you up to assholes.

Thats life, and without the possibility of low votes, high votes mean nothing.

Let strolen deal with RG when the time is ready. He is aware of it. Things do not need to be resolved instantly.

This is RG's second time around showing up to low vote subs before wandering off again, the last time he showed up was to down vote my single golden sub and complain about the place leaving a bad taste in his mouth about... a year or so ago? (Which is what Mourn meant when he asked if RG was "back up to his old tricks again?" )

He seems to be developing a pattern here of showing up once or twice a year to take pot shots and snipe at peoples subs; which is where the underlying issue lies; it's the equivalent of letting one of the Barbarian horde comment and vote on subs every few months.

It naturally will offend people when a person that is for all intents and purposes an outsider pops up, snipes them, then runs off again without explanation or leaving them with any recourse of action to prevent a re-occurrence in the future.

But aye you're prolly right, hopefully RG will ignore Kassy's response of low votes+commentary and this will be nothing more then a ripple in the river; (at least until he turns back up again in 6-12 months to hammer on someone new. :down: )

Re: Admin Chatter

#1091

Silveressa, You are great but you have to chill a little bit (maybe a lot). Reread my post on how I handle (or don't handle) things.

Your posts, compared to how all the other admins and I do things, borders on fear mongering and chanting "the end of the world is nigh" on a street corner. We sometimes wait till the actual meteor is in sight, have top scientists give us reams of calculations that say that it will actually hit us and then watch the initial asteroid storm enter the atmosphere before we get out bed to take a look. That is just the way we are, and the way we like to be, at the Citadel.

Yes, there is a little friction between Kassy and RG. Sure, as a *friend* talk to her and try and make sure that she doesn't let it get her down. But, as an Admin, nothing to be done. We are Italy or Spain. There is always tomorrow to take care of it if it becomes a community effecting issue.

Yes, small issues with others on the site crop up here and there and they will continue to crop up. It happens, but we don't want Admins coming down with an iron fist every time one of the peasants withholds their taxes. That is why Robin Hood started a revolt, except this site is made out of Robin Hoods. We only get spun up over the great injustices. If a village is on fire or there is a great siege, call us and somebody may stop by. If somebody is fighting over a chicken, well, it is often better if they figure it out themselves. I don't want people depending on admins to handle every small issue that comes up. Shit happens. Personalities conflict. We can't and don't want to control everybody's actions....so we don't. And you can't continue to argue that every small issue will have site-wide repercussions. I don't deal with what might be, I deal with what is.

You have to think of Admin on this site more of a mark of trust and respect than a crutch of responsibility. It isn't a flag to wave or a sword to wield. It is the ability to do small maintenance tasks as necessary, not a badge to enforce law. As you well know, there is no law here and I have established no real rules to follow. We are a community and we wake and act as one when the need is great enough.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1092

While we may be Italy or Spain, people view us as the United Nations, or America, and expect us to step in and right perceived wrongs, protect the victimized underdog from the bully, etc.. so get easily disillusioned when we don't.

While the issue between RG and Kassy is indeed minor, from the point of view of the people involved in the conflict the issue often seems far from small or insignificant to them, and they often look to us admins to handle such issues; since that's the general expectation of what admins are "supposed to do" (and do perform) on most sites.

We go against that grain here by choice, but to those that frequent forums elsewhere on the net they usually have the mind set of "tell a mod/admin when someone gets out of line and they deal with it" as opposed to "handle it myself and don't expect the admins to get involved."

I'm used to taking a pro active approach when it comes to problems when fuctioning as an Admin on guntoters.com, and taking quick steps to address grievance and make overtures/reassurances that the issue is being looked into and solving an issue while it's still small; rather then waiting for the problem to snowball and have to take more time consuming steps and deal with a bigger headache; so the slow hands off way of dealing with a grievance usually isn't my method and I'm still adjusting to the alternate way of doing things here. :wink:

The issue with not doing something when the issue presents itself and is still minor, often leads to other unfortunate outcomes, such as costing a site members like it has with the Kassy/RG scenario.

(Kassy's informed me she's leaving mainly because of RG's harsh critique/low voting on her subs and being helpless to stop him from doing so on any new content she creates.)

There's also the added headache of a member begging you as an admin to do something about the problem (as Kassy did to me) and expecting you to take some kind of action on their behalf (as is often what happens in other forums when stuff like this goes on) and when you tell them to just ignore the issue and there's nothing directly you can do, their response is often... "less then polite" as they feel/percieve (incorrectly I admit) you're shirking your responsibility to help them with their problem. :(

I guess the end result is some members of the community have a different view and expectation out of what an admin is and what they're supposed to do, compared to the reality of our position. (I think tags like "guild marshal" might help add to that confusion too?)

Here we are literally "administrative assistants" which is fine, elsewhere online the term "Admin" in forums is often associated with "Ultimate Rule enforcer, arbiter of conflicts, ranking above Moderators and second to none." (Complete with the authority to ban/demote/rebuke users and the public expectation of doing so if need be when problems arise.)

Clarifying this disparity would go along way towards adjusting the expectations of the community to be more in line with the reality of our positions, and make it clear to any new admins what kind of "admin" they are being promoted to so they don't approach situations from the wrong view point. (As I unintentionally continually seem to be doing lately. >.< )

Now that I, (after a year + of being an admin) finally understand the kind of "admin" we're expected to be here, I'll adjust my approach to issues accordingly and conduct myself in a more reserved manner.

(Would of been nice to have that little bit of info passed along to me before this btw.)

Re: Admin Chatter

#1093

Agreed. And agreed on Kevlar sub too. Why the challenge? Perfectly useful and interesting idea thread.

Because its not a thread. its a hey we need to use this more and links it to an add to buy thread. Take the challenge off if you wish. I just fail to see any usefulness out of that thread when it amounts to a total of two paragraphs that says kevlar is cool, use it for trip wire or garrote and here is a link to where you can buy it. It has no information on how it can functionally work in a fantasy setting since it isnt a material that functions or is made naturally and has no information on how you can get away with making it in a fantasy world. It has no beginning, middle and end. Just a beginning. I think my vote and challenge fits. If you disagree thats fine, but I think it more an idea and not a sub.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1094

Fair enough, Mourn. Its a stub now anyway. All's well.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1095

As admins and moderators, we have many tools in our belts. The hammer is there, and unless it's spam it's our last tool. We have banned, to my knowledge, one member. But this member was a constant agitator, starting fights with other members and doing strange things in the chat. (And by strange we're talking someone was off of their meds).

Negotiation and diplomacy are our main tools, along with a certain laisse faire attitude.

I am not an admin or moderator on any other forum, but I am a member of several others and I have overstepped my bounds on an occasion or two and instead of having a hammer dropped on me, I received a personal message from a site admin pointing out where I stepped over the line and I was asked to be more mindful in the future. I was mortified and apologized for what was said and done.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1096

Sil, you are nitpicking certain phrases and putting your spin on words forcing them to be more negative than they really are. Admins are important. As a council more so than individuals. You are my friends and are integral to the site and I depend on your eyes and ears to notice the unrest and report it. Once reported thought, it is thrown to the mercy of the council and all must abide by the decision of the Strolenati. But Admins are the key to this and there isn't anything you can ask for that I won't try to do and I will back you publicly with any decision you make. Almost always it is made with the nod of the council though. Read through all the admin threads. Nothing has been deleted and nothing in our past is hidden or deleted. There are plenty of examples to see our process.

However, you have to embrace the overall message: get out of the weeds and see the forest. It is an overarching philosophy that you are trying to pigeonhole into a set of hard and fast rules. It is obvious that I don't make rules. We are a community, and as such, we act like a community. Nobody normally goes out on their own and fights evil. When and if they do find something that disturbs them, they usually announce it in the admin forums for review. Those who want, chime in, we decide on a course of action and let each other know how things turn out. My word is NOT law and it never has been and never will be. I expect it to hold much power when used, but it is normally not my sole ruling that I am voicing, it is the ruling of you all, the council.

You reply like I am an obstacle and have done you wrong by not telling you what to do every step of the way. Well, I kinda did once and you went on your own. That is where this all came from, that was the inciting incident and the turning point that all this confusion is coming from. I had no issues at all prior to that nor really now. I don't hold grudges. However, every since then you have been trying to corner me into stating rules and guidelines to follow and I am doing my best to explain it. It is a zen state, you have to open yourself to accept it. Everything has been a very slow and natural progression to the current state. I don't care about other forums and how they run themselves, that is their business.

I am saying all this because I trust and respect that you will take it in the correct context as a friendly philosophical discussion. Sit in the lotus position, take the red pill and accept the path.

I am sorry that Kassy left over a single person down voting her. It is a shame that the small community uprising in her defense didn't show her that she is a valuable member. I am not going to beg people to stay or hound people that don't conform to some arbitrary standards that are not in place. People are people. If folks can't handle it, then so be it. I don't fight people's fights in real life, I am not going to do it on the internet either. Maybe harsh, but that is me.

For some final reading, know that this site is loosely based off everything2 and they have some articles that are somewhat appropriate.

Third write-up on this page: http://everything2.com/title/E2+is+unfriendly+to+new+noders
http://everything2.com/title/XP+stoicism
And the second write-up on this page; http://everything2.com/title/E2+is+unfriendly+to+old+noders

I am fine doing this publicly because I trust every admin here and I feel you made it clear in other messages and by your response that this doesn't bother you. If you felt or feel different, I am more than happy to do this privately. Again, as you mentioned, this is hopefully to help future admins understand a little more how we do (or don't do) things.

I am getting to the end of things I can say to try and explain. I am probably already repeating myself to a point. If nothing else, continue exactly what you are doing now. I am very happy with that and I don't mind having these discussions. If nothing else, it solidifies the fact that I am comfortable not making rules and not making any decisions without all of your help. Take any issue you have and start a thread. As a council we will discuss it and as a council we will decide what we do, as a group of friends that want best for the community.

Thank you for this (final) clarification, and I confess to a being a bit dense and not quite getting the"zen" thing at first (or even second) glance as the desired SOP, before this; but now all is clear. :up:

I'm a logical/analytical person by nature, and so tend to approach things from this view point, and often don't quite grasp the "spirit" of things, and rather read them at face value as fact, and need to remind myself to take a step back and interpret things less literally. (which I admittedly fail to do more often then I like)

No harm has come from any of it though, and it's been a learning experience, and I'll continue to bring forth any issues I have/come across in threads here, and will strive to phrase things a bit less... Dramatically from here on forth so as not to stir things up as much. 8)

No matter what the citadel is my home, and my passion for it's well being and prosperity motivates me a bit more then it probably should, but I'm catching on, and thank you once more for your patience with me on this, it's deeply appreciated.

Re: Admin Chatter

Can we talk StrolenCon now? :P

My wife and kids will be upstate for the summer again, leaving me free to host. No house rental $! No hotel or food expenses! Just gaming!! And beer (Ask AG).

Just saying. I know no one's coming :P

Damn it, why cant I find live players who arent married with kids and busy.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1099

Come to Norway, it is the summer destination of choice! I can make that trip much easier.

Re: Admin Chatter

#1100

Funny you should mention that. I was supposed to go London last year for work, and hop over to Oslo. Didnt. Been telling my wife since then that im dying to go, and must go, and must see AG, and all that...she relented a few weeks ago, and said, so go.

When would you theoretically be there? Or do you mean you can pop over anytime this summer?

Re: Admin Chatter

#1101

I would theoretically be there whenever you were there.

September (a couple weeks in it anyway due to work issues) is bad and so is the end of July as my family is supposed to be coming out. If you are serious, perhaps we need to start another thread with good/bad dates and come up with something. Maybe we can get a few more of our European friends to join in! Tough Mudder Scotland will be over by then so that isn't an issue anymore. :)

I am 100% in as long as the dates match. I already got the OK as well. (I want to touch Sweden while I am there though, that is my only must do.)

Re: Admin Chatter

#1107

I helped a new member today. It felt good. First, I confused him of course, then I confused myself. But in the end, i truly helped him :P

It all came down to this. I explained and showed him the "Change to a Codex" box and the "Lock Submission" box. That's about it. Oh and welcomed him about four, five times. He remained rather stoic and focused throughout the chat, despite even my usual overuse of the smileys :P

Anyway, we have a new member. Clive Davis (he doesn't want anyone to know, so he's disguised as clydedavis.

WARNING: read only if you're truly bored.

(21:59:59) clydedavis: Alright, I'm here.
(22:00:04) Murometz: hey there, welcome
(22:00:35) clydedavis: Thanks. I appreciate it. The community here seems like it's just developing, but it looks promising.
(22:00:51) clydedavis: On another note, the community looks somewhat tight-knit.
(22:00:58) ChatBot: Murometz logs out of the Chat.
(22:01:09) ChatBot: Murometz logs into the Chat.
(22:01:41) Murometz: yes, i guess somewhat tight-knit, but pretty loosy goosy and open for new members as well
(22:01:58) Murometz: in fact we love new members
(22:02:05) clydedavis: Makes sense, well, how long have you been around here and what's your position in the community?
(22:02:10) clydedavis: That so? Excellent.
(22:02:38) Murometz: umm, position? I dont really have aposition. Im one of the admins i suppose...i joined up in 06'
(22:03:24) clydedavis: Alright, and so I see. So, this has been around for awhile then.
(22:03:59) Murometz: about 12 yrs i think
(22:04:16) clydedavis: d**n. So I see.
(22:04:29) clydedavis: Anyways, just a few questions, if you don't mind?
(22:04:33) Murometz: sure
(22:06:03) Murometz: can i ask one too?
(22:07:23) clydedavis: First, when entering submissions, what would be ideal titles? More to the point, is it best to avoid defining names that apply to a set of systems or is it best to include one? (An example would be titling something (WorldNameHere/SystemNameHere)'s (Title).) This more pertains to things such as systems, societies, and so forth.
(22:07:27) clydedavis: Also, feel free. Shoot.
(22:07:37) Murometz: you a role-player? writer? what are your interests?
(22:07:42) Murometz: ok, lemme answer...
(22:08:17) clydedavis: I'm a writer, particularly one looking to organize and develop a world, with feedback from a community.
(22:08:44) clydedavis: Interests as in, general interests, or those that pertain to roleplaying related things?
(22:08:51) Murometz: Title-wise the simple answer would be anything goes. Longer answer would be you probably dont want to go the WorldNameHere/SystemNameHere's (Title) necessarily, but then again you could if you wanted to...:)
(22:09:20) Murometz: give me an example of a specific sub title youre thinking about
(22:09:58) Murometz: well, youve come to the right place, clyde, lots of writers and world-builders who love feedback from the community
(22:11:18) Murometz: you could build a codex of your particular world, attaching other subs to it as you go btw...you can also enter a freetext (WorldName/System)to organize tit that way...just throwing that out
(22:11:24) clydedavis: Alright, makes sense. As for that, I have none yet really, just some relatively developed ideas with room for improvement that are yet to be tied together under one broader idea or concept.
(22:11:37) clydedavis: I figured as much. That's generally why I picked it.
(22:11:40) Murometz: aha ok
(22:13:00) clydedavis: Oh right. Could you explain to me how codex's work? And on another, would you explain freetext as well?
(22:14:35) Murometz: a codex is just a way to organize a few or many related submissions, such as Codex Title: "The World of clydedavis"...intro, etc...then consequent submissions attached to the codex could be "clydedavis' World Bestiary...ect
(22:15:20) Murometz: a fretext is just likea tag...example-- "clydedavisworld", you add it to each submission, and link them that way
(22:15:31) clydedavis: Alright. How do I create a Codex? and oh, makes sense.
(22:15:56) Murometz: however, having said all that, thats justtechincal stuff, can be done any way really...as long as its good stuff, few care much as to the formatting
(22:16:02) Murometz: :)
(22:16:31) clydedavis: I'm a junkie for organization, so, I tend to gravitate towards keeping things really in order.
(22:16:43) Murometz: hover over the "Quick" tab on main page on top right....click on "Input Submission"
(22:17:10) Murometz: then youre a batter man than I...ok, i'll walk you through it...first step see above ^
(22:17:16) Murometz: better not batter
(22:17:26) clydedavis: Heh, thank you.
(22:18:00) Murometz: step 2 pick a category
(22:18:58) Murometz: you there?
(22:19:27) clydedavis: I've already gone through that actually. Where do I label it as a codex though, and how do I do the linking, or is it just hyperlinking?
(22:19:49) Murometz: there is also a straight "fiction" section by the way. If you want to just write
(22:19:57) Murometz: hang on
(22:20:29) clydedavis: Noted, though I'm more interested in creating a world, that hopefully can later be converted into an rpg.
(22:21:50) Murometz: third page...after picking "category"...next page toward bottom..you'll see "Change to Codex" click box yes
(22:21:59) Murometz: check box i mean
(22:22:37) Murometz: so where are you exactly now in the submission posting process?
(22:23:05) clydedavis: Oh right, I see that now. I seem to have missed that. Got it.
(22:23:27) clydedavis: Oh, I haven't written anything out, but I already have a thorough understanding of the categories and I have ideas ready for writing.
(22:23:41) Murometz: excellent
(22:23:49) clydedavis: Yes indeed.
(22:24:08) Murometz: well, welcome aboard and good to have another world-builder!
(22:24:16) Murometz: any other questions?
(22:24:40) clydedavis: The first thing will be an overview of disciplines within magic, in the systems category. Just my general ideas regarding it anyways.
(22:24:47) clydedavis: None actually, thank you for clearing that up. ^^
(22:25:09) Murometz: ah yes, magic system
(22:25:20) Murometz: sounds good
(22:25:25) clydedavis: Yes indeed.
(22:25:58) clydedavis: Oh, one more thing actually.
(22:26:06) Murometz: shoot
(22:26:24) clydedavis: With the ability to submit ideas, are people able to tag them onto the post without approval, or do they need to be approved?
(22:26:48) Murometz: im not sure i understand what you mean exactly
(22:27:11) Murometz: ideas as in 'add an idea" as opposed to "add a submission" or ideas in general?
(22:27:44) Murometz: you mean if you post a submission, does it require approval before appearing on main page?no
(22:28:52) clydedavis: Oh, right. Sorry, let me specify. In response to submissions, people are able to submit suggestions separate from comments. Are those automatically approved, or do they require approval?
(22:29:08) Murometz: oh i see
(22:29:13) Murometz: now i got you
(22:29:19) clydedavis: I recall seeing something regarding spells and magic, and it had multiple posts from other users attached to the original.
(22:29:27) clydedavis: How does that work exactly?
(22:29:28) clydedavis: Yeah.
(22:32:41) Murometz: well, there are comments, those dont need any approval, people can comment whatever they like :)....but you mean scroll!! Yes, you can "add an idea" to your own post (and keep adding) and it would appear below it...we call those scroll additions...then there is a community scroll, where people keep adding, yes...such as "How does your Magic System Work?" for example as a submission...people would add scroll entries to the bottom of the sub....OR...people can link their submissions to your as well. Such as clydedavis writes a submission called, "Weird Magical Fish" and you list a few. Someone who wrote a similarsubmission mihgt link it to yours
(22:32:46) Murometz: does that make sense?
(22:32:53) Murometz: Ive had a beer already tonite :)
(22:34:10) Murometz: but if you dont want anyone else adding to your sub, thats doable as well. Near the "change to codex" there is a "lock submission" box...so no one can add anything (except comments)
(22:34:38) clydedavis: Alright, that makes sense, thank you.
(22:34:50) clydedavis: Is it possible to change the lock submission bit at a later time?
(22:35:00) Murometz: its all in the choosing of submission type...check out that page again
(22:35:31) clydedavis: I know but, can one edit it later?
(22:35:36) clydedavis: That was the question. xP
(22:35:47) Murometz: yes, you can always "Edit" your sub, change from "In Work viewable" for example, or "In Work Private" (no one can see it) or you can just post it normally...then later change it
(22:35:58) Murometz: wow, i use to many ellipses :)
(22:36:20) clydedavis: Can you edit the option to lock submissions?
(22:36:24) Murometz: yes
(22:36:30) clydedavis: Alright, thanks.
(22:36:40) Murometz: if osmeone added something though, that would remain
(22:36:54) clydedavis: Makes sense. I think that clears up my questions actually.

I did read the above, by the way, and appreciate you taking the time with him. Excited by the new blood and his energy. Plus, I always like when people explore the content formatting (which I can still change/update however we want to make it more usable)

On a side note, anybody else NOT getting emails from the forum? I don't get notifications for PMs or updates to these threads anymore. I get all the Citadel ones so I can assume it is not a server thing (I think) so just curious.

I get nothing but I fired it was me.

I still get notifications on all forum threads I'm subscribed too as well as PM's, perhaps your email is dumping stuff into the spam folder?

Re: Admin Chatter

#1111

Well, I did check my spam folder and there they were. I must of clicked spam on one of them on accident at some point this week. Thanks Silveressa! I probably wouldn't have thought to check. :)

I have more family in for the next two weeks so won't be around as much. Next week will be out of town for a bit so probably not even logging in. PM me or email me at strolen@gmail.com if something comes up!!

Laters!

Still getting my butt kicked by a military exercise. These things are going to last through the end of September and on and off 12+ hour shifts. So I might not be as active much as I have little energy by the time I get home. Just wanted to let you know.

Exercise is over, yahoo.

Replaced by Soccer. Coaching 10-12 year olds and playing on the base soccer team. At least 3 days a week on post till 1900 which sucks chipmunk balls but fun overall. Tired when I get home. Good thing is with all the exercise and diet I have lost 20 pounds in the last couple months. Bad part of that is my pants fall down like a gangster now....I just have to go to the mall more often to fit in. Just kidding, Italians wear some tight ass pants; uncomfortable!!

He's such an ass :wink:

But he can't stay away, can he? This time, its somewhat disturbing. He randomly appears again for no reason other than some make believe gripe on some ancient comment. Or something.

Got up on the wrong side of the bed, and figured, let me go fuck around on Strolens again...have they acknowledged how fucking awesome I am yet? No? Bah! I'll just have to be a pompous dick again!

He just wants to be told that he's awesome over and over again. Its a cry for attention really, like the guy on the roof who just won't jump.
