Ok, so first of all, I need to say that a couple of people who wanted to be at the meeting were not able to attend, including @Strategist. This means that many of these things still need more input before we can put them into place. Only a few unanimous decisions will begin to be built on immediately. The members who were in attendence were me, @Pyro699, @Emily, @Keil and @Hydrogen.
On to the minutes!
- Trade bans are now going to be posted in the Bans and Warns forum.
- This means that you will be able to check for yourselves why certain members may not be permitted to trade here!
- You won't have to PM staff about it any more
- Removes the ability for banned members to lie about or downplay their transgressions.
- Private members are going to be subject to an activity requirement to maintain their rank.
- Don't worry, it's not going to be super-challenging - our preliminary figure is only one post a month!
- Of course, you can post any forseen absences and be excused from the requirement, and any emergency disappearing acts mayb be excused after the fact at staff discretion.
- Concerns about staff presence
- All staff at the meeting have had considerable "real life" responsiblities that detracted from their availability - most are now more available.
- All staff at the meeting have made the commitment to be around a little more where they can manage.
- I'll still be here all the time
- A referral contest!
- Complete trading rejiggering
- With the introduction of the new gaming sections, it's become clear that we need more trading available!
- Neopets trading is probably going to be moved to the General Gaming section, and more trading forums will be added.
- Along with this, some other redundant forums will be shuffled and merged and such. Just a little streamlining.
- Outlawing asking for leaks
- Going into the rules. Probably today.
- So... don't be asking about things you know you're not allowed to know! (Including nominations and apps).
- Mobile site
- We'll be looking at alternative mobile site themes, and asking from some suggestions from you guys.
- We'll also be looking into the ability to disable it from being default for users who opt out.
And that's (not quite) everything! There were a few more things discussed that need more input before even mentioning
Feel free to throw in some more opinions and what-not. We do like to hear from you... now and then
