[quote=JBRam2002 and Rica]I would love to see the 18+ and non-18+ separated as well. It would make it easier to have visibility for the non-romance 1x1s, and it would basically be a clear indicator when one entered the 18+ section of "Here be dragons." This is something I feel mods could do without needing coding or tags, but it would be annoying to move all the IntChecks there.[/quote] I'll put this in my list of ideas because I personally like this idea as well and I don't see how this could create any more problems (except more clutter, but if we're going to advocate keeping arena, then adding more clutter shouldn't be wholly deniable on that basis either). I think that the distinction between 1x1 mature and not mature is big enough to warrant two different sections in that case, since most people are of the opinion that the clutter isn't that cluttery (might just be my personal opinion then). It also helps create a more PG13 ish thing. The only question I'd have is would we need to moderate this to ensure that whatever rules we have (lol the rules state you can't use words like lesbian, bisexual or homosexual but it happens all the same) are actually enforced for once, or are we just going to pretend like it's not a thing? Either works for me personally. [quote=@JBRam2002]In re tags: My first RP that I GM'd covered a fairly wide array of options. I tagged all the things I thought of that fit, and then was informed I could only have 5 tags. I understand from a visual perspective why this makes sense, but could we possibly remove that limit and instead only show the first 5 tags or so in areas where space is an issue? Obviously, this means the system -could- be abused, but that would be something for moderators to keep an eye on. More options for tags in general would be great too, and perhaps even an option to create our own tags (of course if they're not a common tag, searching for them would be useless).[/quote] Since I don't think a 'tag search' will ever be a thing (who wants to read 300 pages of dead roleplays) I think we can safely add custom tags without it becoming a problem. It'd also allow some dank aesthetics, which I'm always in favor of. :) [quote=@Sylph] I mentioned this earlier as well. I believe the problem of having a "Report Post" button is that in my experience, the mods don't just look at [i]one[/i] post. Whenever I reported something, it required a myriad of different posts and screenshots and even then the answer was "Well they're being a dick in these several posts but that's not excessive harassment so we can't do anything." So by that logic, reporting one post isn't going to establish continued/excessive harassment. Of course, the easy answer to this solution is to report [i]all[/i] of the posts involved, but I feel like it would make it difficult to view the problem as a whole. What if you report 20 posts and the mods only have time to go through 10 of them in one day? Do they judge each post individually (If the system is a singular reported post, it likely will be judged as such)? How many of the 20 reported posts would it take to establish a pattern/incident? Sometimes things fall through the cracks, and other times it's a lot more convincing if you have a compilation of evidence to build your case. By our current rules, reporting a singular post is probably not going to encourage action from the mods. It would put more stress on them to try to sift through a bunch of reported posts to see how things are related, especially if there are a lot of other different reported posts. Additionally, the reporting posts thing brings up another question: Can we report PMs? Statuses? [/quote] Well, the one solution I have implemented myself is that blacklist thing, which deals mostly with people that harass others and are, for a lack of better words, problematic. But I can't really publish it here (that'd be targeted harassment) and I can't put it in the public guild discord. So it's hosted 'publicly' in my 'public' server. It's not an A+ solution but so far it's better than anything we have. Feels kinda vigilante like though and I'd rather not get into that if we can avoid it. Besides that, yes a report post function is really needed. If anything it's because it's so easy. I can hit the button, fill in a form and press send. It's easier to do than send a PM to a moderator. It also feels less like I'm snitching like that. I'd definitely click report post more often than I'd bother to go through the hassle of taking screenshots and PMing a moderator because even if nothing happens at least I know I did my part. I imagine statuses can't be reported (I mean they can by sending a PM) but adding a button there would just be stupid I feel like. But PM's, sure. [quote=@Ruby]As clarified earlier, I wasn't. Just the point that community involvement shouldn't be dependent on Mod/Mahz direct involvement.[/quote] It isn't. So far the community has done a lot for RPG. It's a dependence based relationship. Mahz cannot host RPG without community (well he can, but you see why that'd be dumb) and we cannot have RPG without Mahz. We need to work together and for some things like the bigger community projects, his/moderators involvement is definitely a dependency I'd see as a requirement. [quote=@Ruby]Tough, I guess. I've seen the Moderators say, "There's no delay in Moderator response to reported issues that we've seen." And then I've seen nothing significant to argue to the opposite of that. Some people say things aren't getting reported? Not sure how that weight falls on staff. It's not as if they do anything to actively discourage reporting.[/quote] Disagree. Failure to satisfy the need for feedback or at the very least a satisfactory outcome of the process is definitely discouraging reporting. It might not be active and intentional but judging from the posts in this thread, people feel as though nothing happens with reports. That is why nobody reports anything if we are to believe the posts in here. [quote=@Ruby]If you and a few others think their job should be some kind of community coordinator on top of what it already is...okay. Good luck. I've touched on why that may not be a good idea, not that I feel like anyone's listened to me about that in this thread. Fair enough.[/quote] Please quote where you touched upon why you don't want them to also be community coordinators. Cause all I could find in the part where you quoted that specific part of what I said was: [quote]That Discord was also started with a former mod, and then had another former mod added in early on to help it along. Not current Mods, former ones. Current Mods also helped in various ways when asked. Put it a better way: people who cared about the Guild community and were active in it.[/quote] And this seems to infer that former mods have done a lot of things for the discord. IDK how that means that community coordinating isn't something moderators should be involved in. But you are in the GCS. You used to be anyway. You know how active the guild authorities are on there :) [quote=@Ruby]At this point I see a couple people pushing a narrative, talking at more than talking with. So my involvement in the thread comes to an end here.[/quote] I'm not pushing a narrative just because you are the only one to disagree, isn't disagreeing part of talking with too? Am I not talking with you now? In fact, with numerous people agreeing with me on some points, I'd very much think we are discussing something in this thread in general, not pushing a narrative. I'm not sure who I'd be talking [i]at.[/i] Perhaps not you, but that's because I didn't feel like you added anything constructive so far. If you don't want to add anything to the thread anymore then feel free to leave. Nobody is making you stay here. It certainly isn't me. You disagreeing is fine. But please don't say I'm pushing a narrative for speaking my mind.
