Mod Squad Update for the Week of October 21st, 2009

It was a dark and stormy night at the Jedi Council Forums...


Comings and Goings...
? Skiara will be out of order until further notice after a hard drive crash. (Please join me in a brief moment of silence...)

? Jedi_Master_Conor has stepped down as manager of the Science Fiction & Fantasy: Films & Television forum. Raven is currently handling the forum on his own.

? Rogue1-and-a-half is on vacation and will be back the 23rd or 24th.

? Miana Kenobi thinks school is more important than the JC and will be on reduced time for the next two months. Traitor.

? Grimby the Hutt has gone on vacation to the Republic of Texas. The latest rumor is that he'll be back on the 26th, if he survives....

Holiday Prep
? Halloween is just around the corner! Icons are already up, and more hijinks will continue this coming week.

Merger Talks
? The topic of merging the two Science Fiction & Fantasy forums was revisited. The general consensus hasn't changed, as most feel that merging the two forums would not be beneficial or help increase traffic.

SFF
? Discussion continues on the possibility of adding a new SFF mod to replace Jedi_Master_Conor

Problem Users
? Many problem users were discussed. Some were tossed into the sarlacc pit, others begged for mercy, and some, well, you don't want to know. Topics of discussion included harassment, trolling, sock usage while banned, and spam.
