Made y'all wait forever, but here's the final version with lots of thumbs-up from the staff. I won't shower you with excuses, but I'm very sorry for the delay.

Owner: Inkwell
- resolve site crises (admins can contact me by SMS)
- make go/no-go decisions on matters where the admins don't agree, or feel they need more advice
- coordinate with both admins and devs for any major site changes
- hiring
- mediation of major intra-staff conflicts
- manage the site's hosting, etc.

Admin: Fenolio, Admiral
- moderate the moderators, make sure rules are actually being enforced
- supervise /meta/
- clarify site rules as necessary (including making minor changes to the rules)
- coordinate with developers it implement bugfixes and new (minor) site features
- contact owner with ideas about implementing larger policy changes or site features
- help provide the owner with information necessary to make big decisions
- may answer reports and do general mod work at their discretion, but if they are busy with other site business, this responsibility falls primarily to the mods

Founder: Orange
- everything under "Dev"
- access to the admin control panel
- a seat at the table in owner / admin discussions about site direction (no veto power, but I will seriously consider all of his suggestions)
- any potentially controversial modding actions (e.g. reversing permabans) or semi-major site changes (e.g. changing the name of a board) should have admin approval

Dev: Zeke
- work with /meta/ and admins to figure out what needs to be done
- code up bugfixes and improvements
- once GitHub is up and working, the current devs will be responsible for hiring more devs
- allowed to make obvious bans (e.g. porn bans)

Mod: everyone else
- handle reports
- supervise highly active or heated threads
- interact with community to set a good example
- share opinions / concerns with the admins

I'll give you an option: do you want me to upload my Cadence folder as it is (151 images) or make a folder of screencaps, which could possibly be up to a 500-1000 images (the episodes she's in are two parters so there's a lot of images) and will take me time?

Well as long as you're offering, option two. It'll be hilariously impractical to actually post with. But that's part of the fun!

And she's way, way better, character-wise, later on. I bet your 151 is just from ACW or something silly like that.

Oh my 151 is just various stuff I've saved and something from my very first attempt to screencap stuff.
>It'll be hilariously impractical to actually post with
You'd be surprised how fast you run out of images, though with how little you post it should last you forever, especially if you're only going to mod post with it.

Pls. Pls. Plllls.

I've been busy lately, shush.

But yeah, it'd just be modposts, for the most part. That said, I'll be modposting much more often now that 1. I don't need to rhyme and 2. I don't need to confer with The Council to determine the Official Staff Position On The Matter, just Fen.

I thought this was supposed to make it so that the decision making process could be carried out when you aren't here? I mean, bug fixes are nice, but the main problem is when major site changes are proposed you are perpetually missing.

Oh okay, people have already talked about this and got yelled at for whatever reason

>If I don't at least expect people to sign off with me before enacting major site changes, I may as well not be here at all.

You aren't. That's the problem. You seem to be here only every few months at best.

Anyway, as far as everything else goes that seems satisfactory. Fen and Admiral as admins is good. I like that Orange's shittery needs approval as well. Telling your mods to interact with the community is also nice but I don't think that's going to change rainbro and lemming being invisible. Still, it's the thought that counts.

>> No. 161852 ID: ce6132

I had two responses for this, I couldn't decide which one to post so here's both.

1. It's almost as if you expect them to plan stuff and "roll it out".

2. Does it really matter? There has been no change to members on staff. If you have a problem I'm sure they'd redirect you if needed.

Edit: 3. Nimblewing/!!Pinkie is in charge of the FAQ/Contact Us list. You could shoot him a mail.

Mostly #3, speaking for myself. I tried futzing around with it yesterday, but I reverted all changes lest I break something. It would mean adding a new section between Owner and Dev. Which doesn't sound that hard, but I'll wager you've never seen Kusaba's admin control panel. If it was just a raw HTML page, it would be so much easier.

So I figured I'd just wait for Nimble to get on and ask him to do it.

Sounds like a positive change. The site could do with admins who are around and involved with the community, and who don't also have to be developers.

If you look at the sticky it doesn't look like anything is happening.

The Sweetie bot needs to be recharged or something.
