**Nøz** · 03-14-2008, 11:59 AM

Ok here's a heads up for everyone.
Currently the Mod Team is working on a few changes. They will take place to hopefully improve BT and bring it up from the ashes.

************************************************** *************************************************
Update:

Girl,Synith and I are now Admins.
We are working on the merging of forums.
I Have made Opu a super mod seeing how he is always on in the A.M. hours.
I have changed the color of the super mods to Purple
I have added a strick out and color change to the banned users.
I have added a 3 infractions with in 30 days will lead to a temp ban for a week.(this can be changed or added as a point system)
I'm trying to figure out how to make the mods mod everything but at the moment I am missing powers in the Admin CP. (I sent a message to chad to see if he can fix.)

To do:

Forum merging.{DONE}
Fixing Mod rights(so they may mod all sections){DONE}
Applying new rules to the site. ~>http://www.tsewebdesign.com/filez/be...st/btrules.pdf {DONE}
Creating Admin, and Super Moderator/Moderator Guidelines.{DONE}
V bulletin update.{WAITING ON CHAD}

There will be no more Marriage theards you may still marry and put it in your signatures.
The Piss N Moan forum will be renamed, if you need to complain about something use the blogs.
The Adopt a nood rules have changed from 10 post to be adopted to 50 post, and from 400 post to adopt to 1,500 post to adopt a noob.

************************************************** ****************************

Forum Tasks::

The Arts: The whole Creativity section, with a subsection for Art and a Subsection for Literature (Art and Poetry & Literature,General [Creativity], and Roleplaying [make this a sub-subsection of Literature) {Done}

Technology: Automotive, Technology {Done}

Sports: self-explanatory {Done}

Entertainment and Recreation: TV & Movies, Games, Comedy {Done}

Food, Fashion, and Fitness: Food and Life & Living {Done}

{Done}The General [main] and Gibberish sections should be merged.

{Still working on}
The religion section needs to get everything except Atheism, Christianity, and Paganism (and perhaps New Age) rolled into Other. 'Ethics' and 'Existentialism' should be rolled into Philosophy. This is because they are simply not active enough to warrant an entire sub-section devoted to them.

I don't think we should lose the marriage and noob owning stuff cause it is what makes our forum unique. Noob ownership is a rite of passage of sorts. And the marriage thing....I don't know how to describe that, but the threads are pretty funny at times.

Noob ownership has worked for many forums, so I don't see how it wouldn't work for ours.

I guess we just need to alter the rules for it as well and the marriage.

Yea, we should raise the total post count for noob ownership, definitelty. 10 post is too easy to get to, and 400 can be reached easily within a few weeks by any dedicated internet junky. We shouldn't be able to adopt after two weeks, in my opinion.

I like those numbers.....should we have a poll for this as well?

Also, should there be more responsibilities for the people adopting? Or should it remain the same?

Feel free to add suggestions.

I think 1,000 posts is a better milestone to be able to adopt. 50 to be adopted is good, as the vast majority of the registered members here have a grand total of 0 posts. By the time people have reached 50 posts, we can be sure that they're going to stick around for at least a while.
