Meeting Minutes for Mod Meeting 3-16-2014

• Meeting called to disorder. Any order should be reported to Wasd for consumption.
• I got the low roll and am made minutes-taker. Now you have to deal with my snarky yet mildly humorous quips.
• Kaoru makes a comment about anonymous animal-head people. I don't have an immediate retort. Goddammit!

What to do about the Mainroom?

• Yeah, shit is going down there. We should probably do something.
• We need a "don't be a dick" policy.
• We need to gently nudge people to think about who they are inviting. We have to eat these people you know!
• Can mods see who invited who? This is basic account info. Perhaps in the AP panel...
• Mentors! We must do more with them. And not just gurgling, we should get them active in helping the new drama types.
• Do we want to have multiple chat windows open? Some kind of split screen? Or better yet, can we migrate to the muck? We must ask Leshana. She can answer from inside our stomaches amidst the gurgles of digestion.

HOMEWORK!!!!

See the Key Points on http://vh.mucktopia.com/wiki/VH_Charter and the bolded rules on http://vh.mucktopia.com/wiki/Vulpine_Hollow_Guide - from those, what would you say are the Standards if we're writing a community-standards thing? What's missing from those, and what's most important? Please feel free to throw out anything here, I'm mining data and it's all good.

New Rules, and not Bill Maher's kind.

• When you don't like someone else's RP, don't whine to them about it. That's rude.
• It's okay to comment, "I don't like this type of thing" in a general way, so long as you're not doing some passive agressive thing to indirectly gripe to a person.
• If you can't state your opinion without breaking the "Don't be a dick" rule, then don't state your opinion.
• Don't be a dick when leaving due to RP you don't like.
• Tell all these rules at the town hall!
• Racist terms used in chat? Avoid the ones with histories of hatred and violence. For the rest, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovF1zsDoeM
• Rename mods? We are now guides. All hail our increased functionality.
• WAIT... These minutes are going up! CRAP! Time to remove the crass humor.

Main Rules List

• "Don't be a dick. This includes, but is not limited to:"
• "Live and Let Live" Unless you are Mr. Bond. Then Live and Let Die.
