@Gen and anyone else who quoted Atle's Post. Please don't. It clogs up the thread, and makes us scroll through a page or two to get to your response. Delete most of it and just leave a bit, so that people still know what you're talking about, without having to scroll through the whole thing again. I did that for the both of you.

I have my own thoughts, too, not just reprimanding my fellow admins. :P

Anyway, when I read Alte's proposal for proposals, I was quite concerned, to tell the truth. It seemed a much too rigid system with too many rules and obligations to follow from everyone involved. Mevans especially does not like a rigid system, since he makes the mod completely for his own enjoyment. Sinth's proposal seems much more in-line with the desires of Mevans, the mod team, and us staff here. It maintains a relistic approach to the problem while incorporating the basic concerns of those who would like to see more radical reform. It still does require a little more work by us staff, but having brought on extra keyboards recently, we should have less difficulty dealing with a small increase in workload, especially if Sinth and those moderators who would like to see this new system enforced will do most of the gruntwork, the rest of us will pitch in once and a while. Now, the kudos system does work well, but Alte brings up a good point, that Kudos can have drasically different numbers based upon timing. For this reason, I would suggest we keep out the expiry date for a full four weeks, and the kudos level at 15. I like the idea of suggestions summaries at the top of all suggestions, especially the big ones, and I would suggest these be mostly mandatory. I also like the idea of templates to keep a thread open longer, for more review by community and such. However, I have discovered that once the community is done with a thread, then the thread is done, and it will not stay alive no matter what you do. That is the nature of the forums. I have no more to say now, but I will follow this discussion and offer my views. Also, I still believe that we should keep the focus of the wiki on the information and pages, and less on the mod development end. That is what FB is for. I don't have one, but am satisfied being here.
