fair i just don’t want to fall into too much of the “no” trap staff across any internet community does

I used to be less incompetent than this i swear to you

perms are weird, you need access to the whole tribunal category but like you saw my mistake, i dunno how to timeout corner (or no holds barred but it was too wordy) specific perms for it

yeah dude idk

Okay GB, it’s done. @Goth Boy

lol… alright. we’ll lift this experiment off then

Well, most of you haven’t opposed a trial run. I think we can try it, though I have a hunch of won’t actually be used any. It’s too small a forum and we all have a very good relation with one another, just as members. I’m always up for experimentation!

I personally would want to go ahead with the trial run tbh You never know if you don’t try is my philosophy (unless it’s a fantastically stupid idea like allowing extreme verbal hostility and abuse publicly just because, with no logical reasoning) But I won’t overrule anyone here and blatantly ignore forgothisname’s concerns, either I just need and want the community to vocalize rather than remaining quiet when it impacts future policy, attitudes, and the future of the site - it’s not something to be taken lightly admittedly even for a trial run

It’s a good observation that there’s not a lot of pragmatism in this. I have been thinking about it - and honestly I am all for the trial run - and it can lead to more bad blood and have the complete opposite effect we’d want. Feelings can get hurt, not everyone will have the same emotional threshold for this kind of stuff, and sometimes people aren’t able to let go - especially if we can’t predict that some user has crossed a line. I think a good compromise is if these cons prove to be true, staff can shut the trial down sooner than (whatever) the proposed deadline. If we don’t see any success, or only moderate, it probably means the cons outweigh the pros and far more harmful for member interaction. If it has more pros than cons, we can make the section more… permanent unless bad blood brews hardcore with certain members. Everyone is different. You never know what tips someone over the edge. It also could potentially encourage and contradict the standard rules about being...

We have been slacking a teeny bit on member interaction and open policy discussion (I haven’t been around due to health problems and stuff.) I want to do these types of notices more often when necessary, especially with things like this since it’s, theoretically, a huge change.

If you mean, like, public? Not really vibing with that idea, sorry

I honestly don’t mind this idea and would be interested to do a trial run; believe it or not, I did propose something similar back on NF when mod at some point. The whole community should discuss this. If you truly want this to be atleast tried, help rally people up and spread the word or go around asking opinions about it. Many won’t see this thread because they don’t venture out of their respective sections. If you gain enough interest, we will set a global announcement for everyone and lure ‘em here. While PMs are preferred, you won’t get users to agree or consent to something like that. If they’re in the midst of a flame war, they’re not going to transport themselves to elsewhere if it’s already in public eyes. I don’t mind a method where mods intervene at the start of a nasty flame war by putting them in a section temporarily to duke it out. You sign up on a site like this, you agree to respect our boundaries. There’s also something I proposed in both places we have yet to...
