I would suggest only one rule: Don't be an HAMSTER$hole

Then, use common sense to adjudicate things on a case by case basis. The channel will need to have Admins and Moderators - can't get around that. There will always be riffraff that needs bouncing.

This goes without saying. Sek.

I am accepting that I will need a lot of people who are willing to help... I am asking that they send me an in game friend invite and a message. Since we are already friends... just a message of interest will help.​​

I'll be glad to help - we can talk tomorrow about it if we run into each other. The point of that comment, though, is really one thing: keep it simple. We don't need a load of rules or processes or administrative overhead. What's truly bad behavior vs someone talking smack or even being a little rude is pretty clear most of the time, that's all I meant. A pile of rules is fine for small groups, but take it from me, it's hard to adjudicate things for 1000 people when no one you happen to know was even online at the time of some incident and you have to organize a hearing, or even keep a list of timed mutes and bans... I threw all that HAMSTER out in the Cloaks a long time ago. The more rules there are, and the more strictly they're enforced, really just means more people end up getting in trouble and the more effort you have to put toward disciplinary action... every incident requires your time... 5 mins? 10 issues later, you just spent an hour with nothing a bad taste in your mouth.

Anyhoo, I've derailed and just running off at the fingers... My thought processes are fried (it's been a long day). Thumbs up on this - as I said originally, I'm not sure it will solve the problem, but won't hurt anything and may very well help.

I hope this works for you guys, it's a decent idea. But viewing the posts, there are already signs of exclusion rather than inclusion.

I am someone that believes in FULL inclusion. I severely dislike exclusionary practices.​​

Assuming you ever get 20 people to join, is your plan for one person to divide them into 2 teams or are you going to nominate captains to pick their teams or something else?

Anyone willing to answer, but I think drkbodhi is the one taking charge here.

The parties will build themselves to a degree.

It is early yet and I am having a lot of people volunteering to help run the Channel. Once I get a team assembled then we will go from there.​​
