15. I think we should discuss community standards before

Sun Dec 11, 2011, 01:47 AM

Dec 2011

we decide if the group needs a host.

I believe that the gungeon is a very unique community, being no other like it anywhere on the web. The ability to actually debate this issue. Every other discussion I am aware of is populated by like thinking members whose only disagreement is in the minutia of the topic.

That said, this group is and has always been a magnet for trolls on both sides of this issue. I believe there must be some concise, yet liberal, guidelines for participation here. Also there should, as there has been for the past year or so, some inflammatory language/name calling which should result in posts being deleted and thus temporary bans as set forth in the rules of the forum.

All this said, I do believe it will be important to ultimately have a host(s) here who can be impartial and make good decisions without regard for the position of the poster being reviewed.

Yes! I think Krispos would be excellent in that first slot, petronius Dec 2011 #7

my thoughts, too. agreed. Tuesday Afternoon Dec 2011 #8

Thanks krispos42 Dec 2011 #9

Perhaps a few more "Ayes" would be in order, although there's no real definition petronius Dec 2011 #11

Does side matter? It didnt so much during the trial period... krispos42 Dec 2011 #12

Side? I just meant "Aye" as in "Yea" or "Yes" or even "Yup" to your election petronius Dec 2011 #13

I meant, should we wait for input from both sides? krispos42 Dec 2011 #14

I believe the 90 day thing is only pipoman Dec 2011 #17

I re-read the post about it, and you're right... krispos42 Dec 2011 #19

I agree that you would make a good first host. pipoman Dec 2011 #16

I vote for Krispos too nt gejohnston Dec 2011 #10

I think we should discuss community standards before pipoman Dec 2011 #15

The debate here IS unique krispos42 Dec 2011 #18

Good point.. pipoman Dec 2011 #20

I haven't seen any way that they could; I think the community standards referred to by petronius Dec 2011 #21

I understand that in the alert, you write your own note about why you're alerting krispos42 Dec 2011 #22

krispos42 would make a fine Host I vote for him n/t MicaelS Dec 2011 #23

I have thought of being a host here...Any feedback...... Logical Dec 2011 #24

I'm not sure if you want this feedback.. Upton Dec 2011 #25

No issue with you saying that, thanks for the feedback, but.... Logical Dec 2011 #26

I could be wrong -- but, I think to some people Tuesday Afternoon Dec 2011 #30

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I think you can be pro-gun but against some gun proposals. Like.... Logical Dec 2011 #32

What have you said that is anti gun? Upton Dec 2011 #31

Wow, you are projecting...... Logical Dec 2011 #35

I'm not seeing how this effects pipoman Dec 2011 #36

No problem from me krispos42 Dec 2011 #27

I am 100% OK with you! No issue at all! Good luck! Logical Dec 2011 #28

For what it is worth, you seem to have a reasonable outlook on this topic. Hoyt Dec 2011 #37

Thanks! Logical Dec 2011 #38

Not necessarily krispos42 Dec 2011 #40

I agree. pipoman Dec 2011 #42

I think a person with a "reasonable outlook" can do that just fine. Hoyt Dec 2011 #43

a "reasonable outlook" on gun laws shouldn't be a consideration. krispos42 Dec 2011 #44

Another concern pipoman Dec 2011 #29

I think if it became a problem with the first Host, and the first Host refused to retire... krispos42 Dec 2011 #33

I don't disagree about your history or doubt your ability pipoman Dec 2011 #34

Maybe we should think about what a host would/could do within the group petronius Dec 2011 #39

I think 2 and 3 are interesting.. pipoman Dec 2011 #41

I don't think those committees are really analogous to the Host's duties, though. krispos42 Dec 2011 #45
