Long Time No See. Here's a Forward: So, everyone knows how a SOTU goes. We let you know things we're working on on our end, you guys weigh in. Many SOTUs in the past have resulted in abuse hurled at various moderators, so what I'm handling differently is this: You can express discontent without directly insulting the person you're unhappy with. Try to keep in mind that we're adults. Don't just offer something you're angry about without a solution. If you do begin being generally incorrigible, a mod will ask you to stop. Anything outside the purest of civility will result in a 1pt infraction. No memes, no shitposts. We all need to keep in mind that I intended SOTUs to be an olive branch. Let's all try to channel optimistm from 2016. --- BULLET POINT SOTU APRIL 2017 We have two new mods, @Umbra.Exe and @Revates, which is exciting. Younger, active users who are around the forums, which is a plus. @Rhíulchabán had difficulties and we deeply sympathize with them, and hope they stick around either way! Elections are nice in that the community has a decision, and Rhiu, Rev, and Umbra were first, second, and third, respectively. We hope that Vote Checkbox will have usage other than for mod elections. We now have a name change thread! You can change your name once every six months. A forum staple. Keep in mind that Ariel and Zeke are the ONLY ones who can do name changes. I posted in Phoenix Forums Graphics, but how do we feel about themes? Do we need more, or less? The Dark Theme is still on my mind because trust me, I want it too. How bout a purple theme? Green? Post in that thread to let me know. Ask the Mods: This SOTU is also serving as a joint Q&A with you, about how we run the site, our modding process, etc. If you'd like, feel free to ask questions in this thread about how we run this place. We acknowledge that there have been trust issues between users and staff, and we'd like to foster a better sense of transparency. OPEN FORUM That's all that is on our radars and burners for now. This brings us to our next topic: an Open Forum. Reading some stuff from around the forums, it's obvious that the divide between mods and users has grown. For a long time the active moderators just moderated the more egregious things- basic rule breaking, spam bots, etc. There's also things we may not know about that a person or two has issues with. An open forum is just that. Talk, air out grievances, whatever. This is an attempt to mend the bridge between mods and users.
