KrytenKoro - Click TALK - As most of you probably know, eight of our admins are inactive, as well as one of our mods. DTN, Neumannz, TNE, Azul81677, and I thought it might be a good idea to ask the inactive/retired staff if they would like to be moved off of the active staff list, possibly creating openings for new admins. So far, we have been able to contact everyone but Riku5464 and Urutapu. Azul81677 has fully retired, so we have at least one opening as of now. This does not mean that he or any other retired editors will lose their powers - merely that they will no longer be listed as active staff. However, we don't want to start elections until we know exactly what the situation is - as of now, the plan is still to hold elections in August in preparation for BBS. If we end up having enough space for new admins, we'll probably start some elections then, and try to maintain a set base of active admins. We also thought it would be a good idea to have BebopKate promoted to Bureaucrat, since all of our current Bureaucrat's aren't invested in the community, and are difficult to contact. We need your approval on this, though. Finally, KKD and LegoAlchemist had suggested merit badges, of a sort, and Auror, SilverCrono, and TheInexistent had been discussing a Featured User setup. I think that it might be a good idea to treat this as a sort of "Employee of the Month", where the community nominates the most respected editors, and the staff will go through their edits and make a decision. To prevent favoritism or drudgery, staff would not be eligible, and we probably wouldn't do repeats.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. TO reply directly, Yeah, I agree. I've thought about this for a while now myself. Sounds good. You have my approval ^_^ Oh, okay. To be honest, I don't really care much for the merit badge idea anymore, but my former points on how it could motivate still stand ^_^ As for the featured user set up, I like it ^_^

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? To shamelessly immitate LegoAlchemist, I agree, it's been a long time coming methinks. Sounds good. Absolutely. Sounds good, nice way to make everyone want to contribute and feel good for doing so.

SilverCrono Well, I can tell who you are. — "Looks like you're prepared." "What is with you and picking up stray puppies?" — 07:38, July 22, 2010 (UTC) Okay, reply. Yeah, inactive staff just take up space. Active admins are good admins. I guess adding mods > admins and users > mods would work. She deserves it. FU sounds good, but.. I didn't discuss it. Just said I would support it if it happened.

Dan - Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! ♫ — 08:36, July 22, 2010 (UTC) Alright, my brief two cents: I think removing the inactive staff from the Organization mugshot table would be a good idea, but perhaps we should mention them somewhere on the page? Sounds good, we're going to get a lot of new BBS information along with a few vandals which will need to be dealt with. Great idea, she'd make a wonderful Bureaucrat. I like this idea. =D

LevL Fear my mighty instruments! — 08:40, July 22, 2010 (UTC) My reply: Sounds like a good idea. I agree. You have my approval. That might encourage users to make better contributions, so I like the idea.
