Let's Make This Community A BETTER Place!

yeah, mafia would be fun

Look, here are the official join requirements. What specific improvements would you make to be more welcoming and inclusive? I was thinking of an extra rule that would allow exceptionally helpful posters to join too. And maybe a +1 clause, meaning that anybody who gets in can also bring another member of their choosing with them. That's just some of my ideas of course.

Unless there are special circumstances, we require a

• join date preceding the year of 2019
• consistent record of constructive and helpful posting
• unquestionable reputation
• high degree of notoriety within the community
• minimum rating of 1300 in any discipline
• minimum profile points of 1000
• high forum activity and frequent online status

Special circumstances may include, but are not limited to

• a major, prior affiliation with the group
  
• qualifiers who frequently close old/open new accounts
• exceptional playing strength or outstanding knowledge
• failing to meet only 1 requirement but compensating otherwise
  
• a special invite by the SA and majority vote of staff

I have tried to explain yesterday, that there is systemic harassment going on that is being orchestrated by a certain group of people who are coordinating behind the scenes and consistently create deliberately untrue and inflammatory topics or posts with the purpose of effecting a negative response by others members against me or certain club members of mine.

That is the reason why we have reported these individuals, because these continued attempts of negatively influencing public opinion or flat out slandering us, are simply not ok.

llama was doing exactly that yesterday, as he is part of that group.

I personally consider these constant schemes and coordinated smear campaign to be a very malicious form of trolling and the members here finally need to be made aware of it.

Obviously, nobody gets muted for no reason and support examines each case with great care and precision. The fact that a couple members have been muted now should be a clear indicator that this nonsense finally has to stop now.

I have been nothing but peaceful and enduring throughout these attacks which is probably why I remain unmuted, but I am both warning and urging these members who are most likely already hatching their next plan, that we will continue to report them if this doesn't stop.

Ok, what rating do you think is more appropriate? 1200 or <1000?

<1000 seems good.

Done, what else? There has been a lot of talk about making people feel excluded. How do we fix that by revising the requirements?

Thanks a lot man, we really want to make a change now and include everybody this time.

OK, anything else you would like to add instead of remove from the requirements? Maybe we are missing a certain group of members that needs to be represented, but isn't.

My personal example of an unrepresented minority is the group of simply, exceptionally helpful posters who might not have a lot of points, but truly make an effort to post only helpful and supportive material.

Another one, in my opinion, would be "Partner players". People who have accepted a weaker player as their apprentice of sorts, who they mentor and support.

I am adding an honorable mentions section next to the wall of fame now. Almost finished.

@Roasti wdym?

Anyways, I have just finished the Honorable Mentions section in the main OP. Just gotta fill in the names, but I'll need a break now lol

I have a question

Why do you guys think you're so popular?

 it's an assumption, we might be wrong lol

oh good to know that it was an assumption. I thought the club was a bunch of 3-year-olds that thought that they were so cool XD

I have the submit button on in settings but it will not work.   I have tried everything.   Lost several games because of this.  Does someone know how to make it work.

I don't think he is talking about my club, because he isn't in it lol.

Anyways, I'd like some more suggestions! Some people had a lot to say before, I just want to concentrate all of that input into an actual rule change.

I got a suggestion

Wat is it my friend
