Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blade of Desecration" data-source="post: 3178557" data-attributes="member: 27325">I think we should also add a Links & Utilities Section, for things like die rollers and NPC generators.  That would only need to be a minor section though, and would only need one or two people to admin.As for NC's concerns about Mods on vacation, any extra slack can be picked up by CE, which is part of the reason I suggested he be given Mod status in all sections.  He won't have to do too much in any section, but he can help pick up the slack and make sure the site stays cohesive.I am of the opinion that we need to have some kind of regulation on any General Forums we put up.  They'd be nice to have, which is why I suggested them, but we need to avoid them becoming the main focus of the site at all costs.  If people start only coming back to post in that section, then we'll have lost our purpose as a site meant to help GMs, and just become a chat room.  I don't want that, and I don't think anyone else does either.We need a plan of recruiting.  Small membership is all well and good, but to thrive we need more people.I think that in terms of strictness, we need to strike a balance.  It should be fine to say something like "ass", since that's a pretty minor offence, but I think we should avoid it turning into an adults-only site.  As for things like religion, I think you should be able to menition your own, or say how it affects your gaming (something many forums won't let you do), but insulting someone based on a racial, religious, or cultural basis deserves an outright suspension, if not ban.  I think we should try to keep politics away as much as possible.  Since you're all gamers posting on a gaming forum, most of you, including me, probably lean more to the left, but I don't want to know your preferences.  Minor flame wars need to be put out before they get out of hand.  One of the main reasons I rarely post on the WotC boards anymore is that the Mods there generally sit back until things have really gotten out of hand, then swoop in a apply blame to everyone who ever posted on the thread.  Not cool, or effective.Last point, how private do we make the Council Forums?  Do we block all viewing access to non-councilors, or just posting?  Or do we allow everyone to post, but only give Councilors the ability to vote?  On the one hand, it'd be nice to have some privacy and exclusivity in our plots for world domina-, er, forum topics, but on the other hand it'd be nice to let members express their views.  Maybe a "Lobby" section, where we post any ideas we want comments on, and where members can petition and question?  This would be the one part of the Council Forums regular members could access, and would allow us to discuss things exclusively but still receive needed input.</blockquote>
