DDT is in the Wastelands and it has been given instructions on how it could be moved to the tavern. The discussion should be over.

and the voice of reason comes from Dingo!
Real Deal and Stefan, I've deleted your spat and this is a warning - no more! If you need to argue this out do it over private messaging or e-mail or whatever but not here. If you start up again, I'll have to penalize you.
Real Deal, for the last time, swearing is not and never has been the issue. Style of posting is, if you don't follow re-read the CoC and all of the other posts we've already made on the topic.

Pandora, you complained about having to say things over and over. Well, i second that.. Just the other way around.
I'm sayting that if people in TT start swearing, they have done the same things as DTT has. I'm NOT saying that it's just swearing that got us booted.
Pan whats your messenger? I'm betting we could get this over with fast if we just used that.

After a long discussion we have come to a decision regarding the DTT.
The old DTT will be locked deleted after one week as per wastelands rules. this has been discussed with RealDeal and he is in agreement, as it was his thread - 'nuff said
A new DTT will be reopened in Tavern, but will comply with Tavern CoC.
If it should come to be another spamfest it will be moved to the Wastelands again and no further discussion will go on.
I would appreciate if everyone would give the new DTT a chance to survive, this means that i would like the spammers who are using the thread just to gain stars to refrain from wrecking their fun. If we should see that it spammers are trying to have DTT sent back to the wastelands, those posters will be penalized - this is a warning.
Now everyone, off you go - have some fun! (spam-free fun that is!!)

Quote: Well then what if it's just a fun thing - without the stars?
We could make up a new stickied thread for it, where the poster's names and their threads are noted along with some sort of trophy image or something.
We could have one of our graphics artist types make up a banner of some sort and maintain the thread that way without giving QP unless a post is really worthy.
That should eliminate any misgivings about QP being given for the wrong reason , but still be something fun for everyone to participate in?
That sounds like a better idea than POTM. That way members can still be recognized without mods being forced to give QPs to posts that don't really deserve it.

I often found that Poster of the Month really didn't work for Tavern all that well. Many times no one really deserved to be Poster of the Month. I often found many n00bs to copy and paste things such as copying like 20 pages on the history of Pepsi in the Pepsi or Coke thread. I would also see tons of long-winded uninteresting threads. Poster of the Month is nice to reward people, but you will have the trouble of QP hunters posting lots of long-winded stuff. Plus as a mod, it was VERY annoying to see those threads, because you know they weren't made for enjoyment or for the community but to get a QP.

Well why not make it Poster of the last two or three months? That way its more of a progressive thing. I know i made some good threads last month but none this month.
As a Mod you should be able to see who is qp hunting and just posting loads of copy paste stuff. If you see that just ignore it unless that copy paste job really made a difference to the forum...

DS didn't you get a few Qps for copy and pasteing stuff?
Maybe we could have a PoTS, Poster of the Season. Every Equinox or Solstice people get Qps.

If theres going to be any POTM then you might as well do it monthly because there will be even more favortism if a season or so.

Hey Acu , i double dog dare you to make a post here without the word favourtism
personally i think we can have a lot of fun with the idea - and if we do a vote then the mods dont really even have to have that much input.
waiting now for the pixel artist guild to make us some icons

I was thinking too that they could make an optional icon as well that the PotM could put in their sig if they wanted to
If the pixelartists are up to it
like a trophy or somethin like that...
This Thread Should Be Moved To [insert forumname here]
As you all know, there are quite a few different forums here - and moderators are responsible for moving threads to their appropriate forums.
While we do appreciate that members may be trying to help us out by offering their opinion on where a thread should go - posting in each thread to offer your opinion is SPAM. It knocks the thread offtopic and in most cases tends to offend the original poster.
If you believe a thread belongs in another forum please post a link to that thread here for the mods to consider. If we move the thread, we'll do so and delete your post. If we leave it, we'll give you an explanation as to why so you are clear with our reasoning.
Thanks for cooperating!

I would just like to talk about something from a while back.
A while ago there was a lot of fuss about how Tavern Mods should mod and how we should enforce the rules in the Tavern. There was also some mods who were insulted or talked about by members because of how they modded in the tavern. I would like to post a quote from Hexa.
Quote: In short I don't like to be a police agent patroling HC. I too don't think that that is what HC should be about. Of ocurse I will give penalties when it is a clear violation (in my mind).
The rules are there to be folowed not to be enforced. We should all loosen up a bit (yes some mods aswell).
This was posted by Hexa on November 11, 2002 and in my opinion it is a perfect example of how things should be. I dont care if people want to toss me for bringing up old news but i felt that it needed to be said. So there.

I'm not going to toss or anything else if you give us a good reason why you brought this up.
Do you think one of us mods havebeen too heavy-handed somewhere?
Or is it another reason?

No the mods are perfectly fine. If you read back the issue of how the Tavern should be modded has never really been cleared up. There was still issues about over policing and such. I think this clears it all up and is a good guildline for all Tavern mods.

He he. Mink.
I like it, though it's not HC PoTM, but Tavern of the Rising Sun PoTM.
But still, you're the first to submit a banner so well done
About the issue of how Tavern is modded, when I visit HC i make it my business to read through all of the new posts in the forums I moderate, then I'll try and go through about 10-15 old threads and see if they need cleaned or if there's any QP worthy material.
I see myself as more a janitor than a policeman. I don't know how the others do it, but that's what I do.
