Discord Channel Moderator Nominations/Election by
on 2016-08-19 12:50:00 UTC

Hello everybody! It's been more than a week since the last thread and it fell off the main page, so I'd like to bring the following to everyone's attention:
1) Effective right now, I will make the PGs who frequent the Discord channel mods until the community chooses other people.
2) Please nominate people that you think should be mods. Right now only Cat-on-the-Keyboard nominated herself.
3) The mods' powers should be decided on; specifically, whether they should have the technical ability to ban people, but also any other thing that relates to that.
4) Unrelated to the rest, but I'd like to regularly prune inactive users every week; what it does is that it kicks every users that wasn't active for a certain period of time. The question is, should it be a week, or a month? In either case the people kicked by this process can rejoin the channel by following the invite link. -

It seems that the community's decision is to make Tomash (five votes), Ix (four votes) and Cat-on-the-Keyboard (three votes) mods of the channel. Tomorrow I will make it so and remove mod permission from Delta Juliette and PC. If anybody has any sort of objection, voice it now or forever hold your peace.
The next article is the mods' powers, to wit: should they be able to ban people from the channel, or should that only be something the Owner does after a person was banned from the PPC in general?
Also, since nobody said anything, I am going to prune the members of the channel every week — in other words, every Saturday I'll kick any member that did not log-in for 30 days or more. The channel can be rejoined by asking the owner or the mods for an invite, in any case. -

If they can't ban, what powers do Mods have? Anyone can invite, right?

The way I see it, anyone who's going to get banned from the channel is probably going to get banned from the Board, right?
They go by the same rules and constitution, after all, no matter where it is they break them.
So, I figure that it'll probably make more sense if banning from Discord is done by the Owner, after all that Board banning stuff. Might make things less messy, too.
Least, I'm assuming, anyway. Never fiddled around with any of this stuff, before. -

I am very late to this party, but Real Life is kind of mean.
I actually would have nominated myself, but then my computer's bottom started falling off. I can't access Discord until I get it back from my parents.
That and it feels like the height of arrogance to think of oneself as being a good fit for a leadership position... -

Popping Cat-on-the-Keyboard up, again. by

She's already nominated herself, but, y'know. Elections, and all.
I mean, I've already made my vote, and reasons and all. I'd endorse her even if she wasn't in here right behind me pointing a Glock 22 .40 caliber pistol at the back of my head.
So it's a good thing she isn't! -

From what I've seen, Cat has a very good grasp both of the PPC and of what goes on in the Discord. She'd be a very solid moderator.

First of all I apologise for the spelling errors that are likely to appear in this, this is the first time I've sent a message via mobile in an age. Being on holiday in France has its disadvantages.
Secondly, I think that Iximaz would be a good mod for the discord channel, we all know her and (AFAIK) respect her.
I would make this longer but I need to go and I don't know when I'll get the internet again.

As I've said in the starting post of this thread (and numerous times in the channel itself), the PGs who frequent the channel are mods until the community chooses other people. The whole idea is to have the community decide on this, not me; the PGs being mods right now is just a stopgap measure.

... to put on your best Jeremy Irons voice and start quoting Scar.
Lion King quotes: the only time it's acceptable to yell "But thick as you are, pay attention!" at people.
(Does anyone else imagine Desdendelle as someone who would do an amazing Scar voice? Is that just me?)

I don't sound like the English Scar. Or the Hebrew one for that matter. I was actually thinking about this particular soundbite; I've been watching too much Hearthstone videos lately.

And since I'm here, I'd like to ask if we can switch the moderators' names back to white from purple. It makes the modship too obvious, and it's sort of annoying.

He seems like a decent fellow too, so I doubt he'd be abusing mod powers.

I would like to make it known that the Discord has a room dedicated to RP-ing as your agents, regardless of permission, taking place in Rudi's. As I am typing this, my own Matthew, Des' Merrem, and Ix's Charlotte and Ix are discussing DnD.

I am not comfortable with giving you moderator powers as you were recently involved in harassing a member of this community (who shall remain nameless until such time as they wish to be identified).
