General discussion thread with implemented title length expansion ooga booga squooga
saying things and I like long thread titles and I also feel like having a thread for posting things which just don't fit anywhere else.

Ok so first of all, that place where we discuss and create eventy things has only hosted 1.5 events so far. It's not getting much attention and I think we could do a little better. What I propose is that it gets shifted to the clan events board, and opened up to all council members, gamemasters and smods. In the hope that it gets a bit more attention.

At least, I feel the way we run events should be revised cause it's a tad loose at the moment.

Also I wanted to bring up zinx's new rule.
No repetition of organizations, if a new one has the same purpose as one that is still active, it will be closed.

I don't think it's an issue really, if two people are making the same org, one of them usually dies pretty quickly anyway. However people's motives can be rather stupid for making two of the same orgs. I don't think it's worth making a rule about it.

We've got 5 different official art orgs, it's never even been a problem once. I really have no idea why we can't have two of the same orgs.

I think we're better off just leaving it as it is. The only time we should intervene is when a problem arises from having two similar orgs.
In that case we would be removing the org due it not meeting the requirements. Not because it's similar to another org.

I'm opposed to any rule which will lead to perfectly good orgs being shut down. If we have to make exceptions for this rule, then lets rewrite it to get what we're actually targeting, the "chill" orgs. I used to have outside as the chill org, and yeah it doesn't work.

First we need to establish what we're actually trying to achieve by doing this.

The last thing I want to say about that no similar orgs rule is that, there's no need to cram everyone into giant orgs. There's plenty of room if someone wants to make their own.

Our main goal here is to keep things running smoothly, and keep the orgs and clans happy.
Kso, things on the agenda..

- What are we actually looking at in new orgs.
- Open up applications for clan events local mods?
- Recruiting other clan event staff.
- Not trying to sound like gorman or anything, but it doesn't make sense to have the recruitment center in clan events. Should be a subforum of clan discussion.

That "no similar orgs" rule targets the wrong orgs. It's not worth having overly strict rules if we don't have to.

Now that "That place where we discuss and create eventy things" has been shifted into clan events, it's time we started getting people who want to run it. I'm sure there are a few people out there who would want this position. Wouldn't know how to find a good team though. Really don't want to be stuck on this on my own :|

I've set up a bank account with 200qi on it called ClanEvents. However it's empty. Some sort of monthly funding needs to be arranged.

Muffindo was hoping for around 200,000 per month.
I don't think delaid has been charging people for it. But I wasn't about to advertise FREE CLAN NAME CHANGES in that sticky.

If that's an official clan asking for it, keep an eye on them. Name changes are often used in attempts to dodge the council.
