POPULAR POST!

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!

  1. Trade bans are now going to be posted in the Bans and Warns forum.
    1. This means that you will be able to check for yourselves why certain members may not be permitted to trade here!
    2. You won't have to PM staff about it any more ;)
    3. Removes the ability for banned members to lie about or downplay their transgressions.
  2. Private members are going to be subject to an activity requirement to maintain their rank.
    1. Don't worry, it's not going to be super-challenging - our preliminary figure is only one post a month!
    2. 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.
  3. Concerns about staff presence
    1. All staff at the meeting have had considerable "real life" responsiblities that detracted from their availability - most are now more available.
    2. All staff at the meeting have made the commitment to be around a little more where they can manage.
    3. I'll still be here all the time ;)
  4. A referral contest!
    1. @Emily is going to be liasing with @Pyro699 to get IPB to begin tracking referrals, and then she will be setting up a mondo-awesome contest.
  5. Complete trading rejiggering
    1. With the introduction of the new gaming sections, it's become clear that we need more trading available!
    2. Neopets trading is probably going to be moved to the General Gaming section, and more trading forums will be added.
    3. Along with this, some other redundant forums will be shuffled and merged and such. Just a little streamlining.
  6. Outlawing asking for leaks
    1. Going into the rules. Probably today.
    2. So... don't be asking about things you know you're not allowed to know! (Including nominations and apps).
  7. Mobile site
    1. We'll be looking at alternative mobile site themes, and asking from some suggestions from you guys.
    2. 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 :p

A single page listing all trading bans/reasons.
So like we have with the warnings so there's a place to see who not to trade with.

The evidence for them is all over the place in reports, PMs, emails, IRC etc so we don't have a list of them to give, unfortunately. :/

We can probably just tag them. And you can see who not to trade with because we add a warning in their member title. ;)

All I wanted was a list such as:

 

Member X

Selling stolen accounts

It's still all going to be in one place in the warns/bans forum, but you may need some sifting from in the future.

Nice updates thanks for keeping us envolved and notified.

 

Something for the next discussion:

 

I would like to donate to the site via other but am not interested in the programmes as I dont use these would it be possible to have another rank with access to the sections paid for people get but no access to the higher level programmes?  Maybe at a lowest donation amount.

 

Just and idea for discussion.

It would probably be best to donate to contests, it would be more useful there. ;)

On a related note, can we get an tiered award for people who donate to contests?
