Sorry, so much has been said and I am a little confused...
Just exactly WHAT has Bob agreed to?
WILL he toss out 'The Formula' ? Will he cap blocks at eg 1 mo?
IS he willing to allow this to be so?
Personally I am up for 1 week blocks being the maximun 'norm'.
Also, how will it be approached? Similiar as now?
Or will there be a warning in ALL threads so that a person has at least a heads up before being blocked?
I think if people feel safer and less at loggerheads w/Bob and his policies, then posters may be more willing to help each other. But as it stands now, Bob just blames us for not helping which i think just tends to piss people off.
So what I would like to know....is there going to be any REAL change here?
REALLY?
????
Also, for thise willing to 'run' for a council....bless their hearts, do they know what they are getting into???
I would think they need to have a good sense of what they are getting into. I don't want to see any posters hurt whilst just trying to help out.....
I think it would be good to have some registered 'chats' with those willing to be on the committee(just them), so that they can discuss ramifications etc ahead of time, and see if they even have the time or desire to work w/the others.
And again....just what is Bobs role exactly going to be?
And as far as removing harmful posts....WILL he accede to the wishes of the comminttee of not?
What ability to remove posts/block etc will the committe have? Will there be a better turn around time, or will they have to wait for Bob to 'reappear', as he has a tendency to be hard to access at times...
Will the committee have the ability to eg stop a harmful thread(a site i go to can stop any more posts on a thread gone wild...)
I think a committe just thrown together will be rife with poss. probs. It would need to be done right.
etc...
As far as I am concerened ALOT hinges on Bob.
I can't see jumping aboard and becomming invested in a site that will ultimately be controlled, possibly in much the same way as it was before....
