Addition to the administrator rules

[Crabwhale]

Hello all.

I have for the past while been discussing with Ant regarding the one post limit admins can have regular members write for staff only threads. We've had our dialogue and our differences, but we have settled on increasing the number of allowed posts per user to three. This will not impact thread moderators, who are still capped at one. Furthermore, the rules will have to be rewritten accordingly.

This will be a bit of a test phase to see how this goes, so do bear in mind, for the admins of the week, to be responsible with this.

I think this is a thing that ought to have been mentioned to the whole class, given that's a pretty tenuous issue, but I'm personally fine with a three post limit so I won't be making a stink about it.

 

[Qawsedf234]

Alright

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I'm neutral but leaning towards this being fine. Of course there have been occasional cases of giving a regular user full permission to post whether it's due to it being their idea or it's because they're an expert of the topic at hand and a staff majority gave them permission including some Bureaucrats. Our policy for regular users has always been case by case. But I'm not against 3 posts being the new standard for having permission from a Admin to post.

 

[Antvasima]

This change seems fine to me as well.

 

[Elizhaa]

It seems alright.

It just slipped my mind, is all. The discussion happened a few months back and I've been busy since.

Also what the **** does "admins of the week" mean? I was so tired when I wrote this I have no ******* idea.

I do not understand what you refer to here.

he's talking about this part

 

[Deagonx]

As the person that first got the ball rolling for the idea, I'm fine with this. I think the change has been positive and it isn't as prudent to be as strict as we were.

 

[Deagonx]

This is the relevant rule that needs to be rewritten.

I'm confused. The screenshot is of the veto rule, isn't this about post-allowances for normal users in staff discussions?

 

[ImmortalDread]

Only staff members with evaluation rights can authorize regular members to participate in Staff Discussion threads. Thread Moderators and Administrators can only grant permission for a single post at a time; only Bureaucrats have the discretion to grant permission for indefinite posting rights. If a staff member determines that a regular member has misused their granted privileges, another staff member can remove them.

This part is relevant to the thread.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. What Crabwhale quoted is an old version of another rule that I think Dread worded in a very inappropriate manner. I do not see how it is relevant here.

 

[Crabwhale]

Apologies, I appear to have grabbed the wrong screenshot for the wrong rule.

What I actually meant to post was:

 

[Crabwhale]

Anyway, revisions shmirvisions:

-Only staff members with evaluation rights can grant authorization for participation on the Staff Board. Thread moderators are able to give permission for a single post, while administrators can give permission for up to three. Bureaucrats are the only staff members that can give indefinite posting rights for a particular staff thread.

(this seems fine, for the record, and more or less just says what you said before- I still have no problems with it, nor with the verbiage employed to describe it)

I have applied this revision. Is this acceptable?

That's my line, bucko.

It works yes. I just needed your okay for it, could've done it myself, but thank you. Closing.
