I put posting this thread off until everyone is present.....And it seems as if we are ready.
If this new foundation, or 'branch', is to work we will need rules and roles. Rules to make sure that this place is run smoothly and efficiently, and roles to help us enhance our stay here.
Therefore I put this thread forward to everyone here. This way each member can contribute to how and why this should be run.
I have made a start and here are what i have come up with:
RULES
- Rules of the normal forum (maybe a bit more lax though)
- No *****ing about other members just because they can't read us
- All stupidity should be kept to a minimum (well as low as we can get )
- No posting in caps lock (one forum, just ONE, should be able to escape this)
ROLES
- To help the council run more smoothly
- The four members used as representitives for the rest of the forum
- Discuss and create new rules, or 'legislation' as it probably should be called.
- More imput from us 'common folk'
- Point out glitches/ forum problems
- Use our (the 'advisors') contact with the rest of the forum and put forward problems and possible answers.
- Point out troublemakers (?)
- Put forward new ideas
These are just a few of the things i think need to be discussed so we can get this thing rolling. Feel free to add and/or discuss
I don't know which thread this really is, but to save it from the possible cullings, up!

- No *****ing about other members just because they can't read us. Ummm... no. Even you can't resist talking about one certain member.

Yeah, where do you draw the line between notifying us about a troublemaker and *****ing about another member? On the contrary, I think this would be a good place to vent our frustrations about other members that drive us nuts, but maybe we should set aside a "vent" thread for that purpose. It could be very therapeutic!

Otherwise, I like your suggestions, overall. I think of this place serving two functions: A meeting place where we can discuss issues and proposed changes, etc., and something like a "teachers' lounge" where the people in authority can get away from the "kids" and relax and be ourselves. Hey, this is the adult place. We can discipline ourselves, and probably don't need a lot of extra rules.

Actually little Mackie doesn't bother me that much......SoaH (or, as i have dubbed him, 'hoover') and ModalNodesFreak are the only people who annoy me a bit.
Anyway back to the topic.....

I really like this basic idea, but I have a nagging feeling that we're going to run into many of the limitations posed by the possibility of a Senior Members forum. Here's a few that popped into my head...
<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>How are the advisors chosen?
<LI>What "special privileges" are they given?
<LI>And how will other members react to that?
<LI>Will the members fear that information is being filtered through the Council?
<LI>If the general population comes to dislike the Council, what will they do?</UL>
If we can overcome the basic problems, this holds the potential for vastly simplifying our jobs as administrators. In any case, we'll have to do what's best for JCN.

I do think that we need some guidelines for what it is we non-admins are supposed to do. Hell, I feel like a "Junior Member" in here.
Admiral Mac: Arrogant. I don't think that he gets the attention he thinks he so richly deserves in Real Life, so he seeks it here.
Xanatoes is Fey'yla or however they spell it.
I also think people should be banned for typing their subject in ALL CAPS. It annoys the hell out of me.
I feel like Larry King with all these short snippets

very nice points Stinrab. Except for the stupidity one. You know I can't help being stupid... The rules do sound good to me though.

Paradox, I don't think that there will be any trouble from the general population if they don't know about us.
As I understand it, this is more or less a brainstorming type deal where admins and non-admins alike bounce ideas off each other.

Paradox, I think I can address your points:
How are the advisors chosen?
All of the advisors have been chosen, as far as I'm concerned.
What "special privileges" are they given?
Other than the fact that they can post here, none.
And how will other members react to that?
Will the members fear that information is being filtered through the Council?
If the general population comes to dislike the Council, what will they do?
The other members won't know about it.
See? No problems.

I agree with Paul. The idea is to have some respected members to bounce ideas off of. For instance, about making changes to the forums. Adding new forums. Creating archives. Which threads should be moved to archives. Or any number of things that come up. This is a private place where we can discuss things before making a decision that will affect the membership. Having a few non-admins here will give us insight into how changes will affect the members.
