[JCC Social threads/groups policy] A 6 month wait for a 1 month thread? This needs to end NOW

agree and disagree. I don't think you should make any exceptions to any rules. I think if you are put in a situation where an excemption to the rule would benefit the JC, then the rule is flawed and needs to be modified or updated.

Well, yes... i meant in extreme moderation. I agree with you more than that post i said above implied. *bes confusing*

 

We were told countless times (because this argument has been fought countless times) that we were able to open up permanant residence in the SWC forums.

Told by whom? I believe I speak on behalf of Stryphe as well when I say "no way." Neither of us would have given the OK for this. When I was approached about this by one of the so-called "Knights" I specifically and explicitly said no and gave my reasons. The SWC forum is for Star Wars related threads. Any social threads that exist there discuss specific Star Wars related things. Purely social threads with no basis in Star Wars do not belong in the SWC forum. They go in the YJCC forum.

 

If we are still cleared for a full time thread in SWC, I would reccomend just accepting it.

No offense to anyone, but this attitude that SWC is a dumping ground for threads that no one else wants or will take irritates me. The Knights thread is a YJCC thread and should go there. If the YJCC mods won't allow it, that's their decision and I will not interfer, but it does not belong in SWC.

[color=red]Wonderful, any last option has just been dumped! Just fantastic, really.[/color][face_frustrated][face_sad]

 

Sorry Tunick but the SWC was never an option. If someone told you that, they were mistaken and not authorized to make such a claim. Glad that misconception about the Knights belonging in SWC has been cleared up.

 

Easy now - that was suggested as an 'idea' by some of the JCC Mods - just an 'idea' - nothing more than that. It would obviously have had to been approved by you guys, but we just put it out as an 'idea'. It came from the fact that the Knights came from movie forum, and might be able to find a home in anothe movie forum - thats all.

Sadly however, one of the Knights took the 'idea' and started stating it as 'fact' which clearly wasn't the case.

 

Things just go from bad to worse. Life is so dandy! I don't see the big threat in having this policy lifted. but no matter how many reasonable points I bring up, I just get shot down.

 

I don't think threatening to troll is a very wise idea.

 

I guess we are damned to an eternity of trolling threads and turning them into vaguely disguised social threads




That's the point I believe the Mod Squad is missing. You guys tell us to look for threads to take over, but if it is seen as an outright social thread, it's going to get locked.

 

Tunick, again, I agree that the Knights should be contained in one thread. Meh, make that a forum.

If you are curious as to how the SSA helps users I'd be glad to take you on as an apprentice and put you through our training. I think you would then have a better idea of what we do and how we serve the administration.

OMG I sound like Mace Windu!

 

I'm not sure there much positivity you can draw out of :-

I guess we are damned to an eternity of trolling threads

Possibly not the best choice of words

[color=red]That wasn't, but we're limited to what we can do because of the Mod Squad. It stinks, its unfair & its wrong, not just for us, but for any user who wants to have their fun with a social group/thread.[/color]

 

And what about the users who don't want their forum choked up with 100s of social threads? Are they to be ignored?

 

Or you could make an off-shoot board like just about everyone else does.

[color=red]They shouldn't, but mods can easily lock social threads that they feel are just flat out spam if the policy were to be lifted.[/color]

And what separates a SK thread from others that we feel might be flat out spam?

 

I'm constantly amazed at how people think that just because a rule affects them that the rule was put in place specifically to "defeat" their purposes.

i'm amazed that you would think that. if i thought a rule was put into place to "specifically defeat my purposes", i would say so. i was just making an observation of the effects of said pointless debate. as a knight myself, i am amazed at all the tiresome bickering and whining taking place.

[color=red]A thread in which people don't socialize & just post nonsense.[/color]

 

A thread in which people don't socialize & just post nonsense.

So what do you do in a SK threads that isn't those two things?

 

A thread in which people don't socialize & just post nonsense.

I thought you were after a social thread? Isn't that what you do there? And the definition of "posting nonsense" would vary alot depending on who you ask. Can you be more specific?
