First I do want to say, yes, these will be some of the last changes implemented. That being said, we'd like the input of those that play in the threads in some of these changes, but there are just so many of them that we feel the need to start the discussion now so that we can have things in place for later.
Some of the threads in the Character and Relationships area simply do not fit the Community Statement. We know this, you know this. So things need to be tweaked and changed.
In a lot of cases, the changes can be nothing more than removing the 'pro' and 'anti' from thread titles. In other cases, we'll be doing some merging. In going over every SG1 and SGA thread that's seen activity in the past year, we've found lots of duplicates, 'new' threads on a topic that already exists (for example, I think the Ronon and Keller ship topic has three threads dedicated to it, so we just need to clean those up).
Our plan is this:
The mods will work on 1-2 pairings/characters per week.
They will start a thread in the Forum and Announcements area and will ONLY hold the discussions in that one thread
They will discuss the topic for a week. No more.
They will decide – with your input – a course of action, post it, then close the thread.
Later on, March/April or so, these changes will be implemented. If participants agree, they can be implemented sooner, but it's not mandatory.
Changes WILL be made. We have an idea of the atmosphere we want to create and foster and that is our goal. We welcome your input but we do have Darren's goal to work towards.
