Y HALO THAR, 2008!POLYchro. First activity check up o' this year, and unfortunately the messiest. I know a number of you have had to call a hiatus because of finals / holidays / etc, but unfortunately a good few only made a mention in poly_extra, and not the HIATUS post. The only reason I keep nagging you lot with doing that is because then I have a strict

Cookie for Mod!

[ninja_mod]

Wah, thank you ~ ! *__* b

[number1gal]

No prob~!
Did you like the fire works? I had fun putting that post together ^^ ♥

Only way I can think of that isn't laborous for you mods would be to have an inactivity complaint type thread, where people can call your attention to others that aren't being active.

[ninja_mod]

The char. complaint thread seconds as that (we've had one such notice given there insofar, good of people to remark on these things), but I don't know if that's enough...

[undertaker_ted]

Well, other than a regular activity check-up of some sort, I think the easiest way is to just let the players be responsible for keeping track of other's activity.

Liveand_learn is on hiatus. She won't have a computer until tonight or tomorrow so I figured I'd reply here for her.

[ninja_mod]

Ah, thanks! I'll mark it asap.

You can kick Amarao/mybrowsaremanly to the remove list. I'm going to be dropping him today.

[ninja_mod]

Rightee-oh. I think I'll just leav'im up there, if you don't mind, and we'll just have it all purged on the 7th.

I believe that princeofknaves and m1a1_love are on hiatus. I remember first_of_april being on hiatus, too, but that may have been more than a month ago, I can't remember.

As for people complaining about people only doing the minimum... isn't that what minimums are for? Unless you want to up the minimum, I don't really see the point of the problem, especially since the people who don't post a lot usually comment way more. I mean... I just think that unless it slows down a plot/the flow of the game, it's not really a problem if people only post the minimum, it just seems likeit gets on people's nerves, which is annoying, I understand, but I don't see the point in changing the layout of the game for it.

first_of_april was on a declared hiatus last month - MIA for this one, alas. Thanks for the other two, marking ~ !

Hmmm, well - the general complaint was more along the lines of, "these people only post the minimum and never comment either within their own posts or outside of them ----> slows down the crew." I can personally definitely sympathize - it's... hard to work around a character's inactivity when, if present in game, their input would be crucial to your own char. At the same time, tho, there're the exact (perfectly valid) observations that you made. ._.b

No prob ♥ I think converts might've been on hiatus, too, but I can't remember exactly 8D? [/useless]

Aah, okay, I get where you're coming from. I'd suggest maybe system like "post 3 times a month or two times a month and X # of comments" but that sounds like it'd be a pain to enforce?

[ninja_mod]

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah, monitoring comments is... definitely... problematic, at best. ._. Then you end up with issues like, " Should all comments be weighed equally?" Because some will say, "Sure, there were # comments, but they were mostly spam / crack / not crew related in the least, and we kind of NEEDED the comments, so those shouldn't cound >( " And the opposing side will just say, "Well, what, are you going to tell me what to RP hereon? " And a third party will just throw a merry, "It's a multifandom RP, why do people even have to be so crew reliant?! " in.

...um. Yeah. I'm so good with the entire decision making, I know. ._.
