21. "Ah, so create another forum . Lemme explain..." In response to In response to 20 Fri Oct-14-05 11:12 AM by FireBrand
Like I said, that's not going to happen and here's why:
What we are doing here in allowing the denizens of OKPActivist have a say in governance is not something that is made room for inside the guidelines.
This is a courtesy extended to you by your current mods. If and when our tenure ends, you will not be able to anticipate this courtesy.
We extend this to the forum because we feel that it is necessary that the people make up the rules that create a safe space for discourse.
The current guidlines, we feel, are a great STARTING place- a skeletal outline.
Recognizing the oft volatile and subjective nature of the commentary in this forum, we want to ensure that the conversations here are as productive, salient, and open as possible.
There have been transgressions in the past that have kept this board from having even one or two noteworthy posts available on the first 3 pages.
This project Chike and I have developed is a method to keep this from being a part of Activist's future while we are mod and hopefull even after our stay here.
We cannot expect, or hope for shit like creating another board.
Cus frankly, it's not OKP policy to give the forum itself a role in day to day protocol.
