I always try to greet peeps I haven’t met yet, and to include them in our conversations so they feel welcome. I hadn’t realized “noob” was offensive, but I do now. Like Rhonda said, “Golden Rule”.

Propositions:

1:  No. Stricter rules won’t change anyone’s behavior. Everyone needs to uphold the current chat rules.

2:  Possibly. Don’t know if eliminating rp’s here would control the emotions, tho, since likely they’d still rp somewhere, then come here and chat.

3:  (a):  No. Chatmods often get resistance from many users on chat at the same time, so we need to support our chatmods when they uphold the rules, and encourage upholding of the rules by other chatmods.

(b):  No. I don’t think it would accomplish our overall goal. I wonder if it might cause strife or divisions, too.

(c):  Yes. An introduction and list of “authorities” is a beautiful idea.

(d):  Yes. If we only have 4 mods, I’d say we need more, too.

(e):  xD  *hugs Tee*

4:  The Wiki Awards and Newsletter are fabulous ideas!!

5:  No. We generally try to help out anyone with problems already. And I’m certainly not a psychiatrist. Like you said, it could make things worse.

6:  No. Losing chat might fragment what community we have left. And chat’s generally friendly and inclusive anyway.

Thank you, JKL, for this extensive blog. *hugs*  ^_^
