      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I woke up this morning with what I think is a cool idea. We could call the moderators something different other than moderators, something to do with the Discworld that sets them aside from the image of moderators on other boards, so the word moderator doesn’t appear anywhere but you can still see that someone is tending to problems.<br />
<br />
At first I thought of The Watch, which kind of fits but I thought it too similar to the police.<br />

Then I thought of Auditors, but Marcia says that she...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[This may not be important right away, but it might well be in the future. Where do we want to have our general discussions? We have them in Discworld Novels on the original board, which does cause some confusion with newcomers - but that&#039;s not always a bad thing, I like a bit of confusion. <br />
<br />
Anyway, the reason we do all post in Discworld Novels is becasue it&#039;s the closest thing we have to a general discussion forum - what I&#039;m saying is, should we have a seperate general discussion forum on...<br />

We could have Discworld related ranks, or any names of our choosing really for any amount of posts.<br />

For now we just have &#039;Newbit&#039;; we need to decide (if we want to) what the next level will be called and how many posts you need to get it, probably 20 or 30. We could stop after that but it&#039;s quite nice to have lots of ranks to demonstrate...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Well this will eventually lead to an election poll, but first we need candidates. For someone to be up for nomination they should have 2 seperate people nominate them, then they have the choice to be put up for nomination or to pull out. Obviously we need more than one moderator so suggestions for the number we should have would be welcome. I think 3 would be the absolute minimum (plus Mal as administrator), but I&#039;ve no idea on what the maximum should be<br />

So I&#039;d like to start by nominating...<br />

This would keep such foolishness out of the main discussions, and allow the people who want to take part in such tomfoolery to do so without annoying anyone. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" />]]></content:encoded>
