Forum info update: A Poll

[varanus]

Hi, everyone--

When danielray asked all of us what we would do if elected moderator, I wrote that I wanted to start a dynamic update of the community info to address current issues and disagreements about what is and is not proper to post. After seeing recent posts, it's clear to me that our policies about "milestone" posts need to be clarified and

Just out of curiosity - we've got the input of two out of our three mods. Does the strong silent type have anything to say about it? Did he have any input?

(I'm not meaning to imply that you haven't consulted with him - just that he hasn't said anything publicly about this.)

All of my emails have been CC'd to him.

I hadn't heard hide nor hair of him for several days, and then he emailed me three days ago saying that he was with his girlfriend's family and couldn't check the community for fear of being outed to them (he asked us to give him "a brief rundown over email," which seemed impossible really). I haven't heard any communication (in any form) from him since.

This seemed somewhat urgent, given the number of high-comment posts demanding clarification. If I find, either publicly or privately, that he has strong concerns or major objections to this policy, we'll work that out (transparently) when it happens.

Oh yeah, sorry. I worded my comment poorly. It wasn't so much a question to you as a poke out into the ether, hoping to wake the silent mod. Given that he's unavailable, I guess that won't happen. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the work you and Reed are doing to resolve this.

[varanus]

Heh, no problem. I'd like to hear from him as well.

yeah, ill second what varanus has said here. any emails that weve exchanged have been cc'ed to kael. the only email weve received from him has been the one about him being at his g/f's and unable to check the board. in the past he has expressed to me that he does not object to milestone posts, but i dont see him having a problem with the proposed policy. im sure he will surface sooner or later and i guess well find out then.
