It would be nice if people in the IC forum stayed IC, but folks seem to be having problems with that. I guess I could start PM-ing everyone who clutters up the forum with OOC stuff asking them to cut it out, but I think a bit of moderation would go a long way.



Comments?

I'll try to reform.



Is there a 12 step program or something?

Yes. And you've already taken the first step by admitting there is a problem. We're all so proud of you!



For the remaining 11 steps, send me $19.95 for my book, "You Too Can Be IC!"



:twisted:

Since this is Vagile's board, she should pick a Moderator.



I wouldn't think that having a GM as moderator would be appropriate for an IC board.

I'd recommend Sareth, since he's the specialist with the book and all! :)

Apparently, I'm being "PM"-ed in public, by a PM, no less.



Sareth, yer a vicious little toad.



I'll just stay out of the IC forum entirely, hope that suits.

I'll accept nominations and votes for one or more moderators for the IC forum here in this forum. Have at it and let me know who you want...

By saying "nominations and votes," I think she means "bribes."

I agree, Sareth would be an excellent choice.

I agree the IC forum is for being IC, but... but... it's hard! Especially when so many things border on the IC/OOC and include a healthy dose of both.



Imagine if in turn, we avoid being IC in the OOC forum?



"So I went to KI yesterday and..."

"No, your CHARACTER went to KI, noob!!!"



Just sayin' :)

I vote for Sareth for moderator,



I do have a question though. What exactly does that mean? Will a post that is deemed not IC be deleted? Will we be given a chance to defend it or to modify it? What are the limitations of the moderator.



Just wondering?

Another vote for Sareth here. I'm rarely IC although I do try to keep quiet around those that maintain & represent, so it's kinda moot for me.



Shaky asks a good question. What are the penalties? Are we signalling the death knell of the IC forum? If scofflaws break character, and are subsequently quoted what happens then?



The irony here is that Sareth can't take the RPNazi title (we should find a better title) in to the lands. How about Seargant Major? Then he can set us all up with the classic, "Do you know what three up and three down mean, maggot?" Lord I hope I got that right.

Well, as Moderator, he'll have the ability to delete a post. Once deleted, it can't be retrieved.



As far as defending a post, I would suspect you'd have to do that in the OOC forum since by its very nature, it would be OOC.



Now you can see why this GM doesn't want the job. :)

Er. yeah. You got it right.



Zen, zen, zen. I was joking. Relax.



As to me being a moderator, um, keep in my mind I won't be home for another couple months... My internet access over here is somewhat limited.
