Jesina, the actual rules for socialization will be discussed by focus group I. This forum was just to discuss how we wanted socialization modded. happy


Sorry for being somewhat clueless here, but how can we discuss how we want it modded without discussing the rules? blush

Edit:

Lt_Jaina_Solo asked me to pass this along:




Personally, I'm confused as to what the "Moderation of Socialization" thread is supposed to be doing. I know that there were problems with how Herman was modding socialization, but I thought the problems stemmed from the fact that he wasn't modding socialization according to the consensus that had been hammered out by FG1.

If the purpose of the "Moderation of Socialization" thread is to determine how socialization is modded, don't we need the guidelines from FG1? I'm confused as to what those are, and from the posts in FG2 and elsewhere, I've gotten the impression that other people are confused as well. So maybe the Moderation of Socialization thread should be locked until we get a consensus on those guidelines, and the FG2 members actually have something to discuss?

I thought that the problem had been solved by Herman unfortunately stepping down as moderator, since that's where most of the complaints seemed to originate from, and now I'm confused tongue

Myri,

The focus of discussing "moderation of socialization" was to see if we wanted to change the whole format of socialization in fanfiction.

The concensus is generally no, as most people liked this:

Allow some relaxation of socialization from current rules, but keep guidelines in place in to keep chatter from getting out of hand.

And they didn't want to split the forums or confine socialization solely to designated chat threads.

Now that we are clear on the format, the actual rules themselves go back to focus group I.


Edit: Yes, part of the issue was also with the way we moderators were policing socialization--it seems most people like a more hands-off approach with moderators only coming in if things get out of hand or if people start complaining. Before Herman stepped down, this would likely have been a bigger issue. Since he has stepped down, the only thing left to resolve was the format bit.

Which is why the thread was locked, as I understand it. That's where my confusion comes in as to why Renata wanted it opened again. So far nothing more has been added by her or anyone else. Who are we waiting to hear from?

I believe Renatatold me she would be out of town this weekend, so I'm not sure how much input we will get from her, nor what it was she wanted to discuss in particular, though I think it was the whole 'poll' fanfic.
