Thrilling BZP Forum Developments


Tufi Piyufi

Recommended Posts

Neapolitan ice cream's pretty okay, with its flavours in their own little sections and everything. But something like, say, chocolate chip swirl, with everything all mixed up together? Now that's fantastic. A strange analogy for a BZPower overhaul, maybe, but bear with me. Next paragraph.

Starting now, BZPower's various subforums no longer have specific staff members assigned to run them. Instead, all Forum Assistant and Forum Leaders care for all the forums. This means that any member of the forum staff can move, close, or otherwise keep any forum on the site running nice and smooth. We'll still have specific Forum Leaders in charge of a given forum's rules, but other than that, it's a big blue free-for-all.

If you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Will the BZPRPG staff still have sole control of the Bionicle RPG forum?

Lets hope so...

If you interact with one of my characters and I don't respond or acknowledge the interaction within a day, send me a PM. Odds are I missed or did not see the post.

I hope so too. Not to rain on any of the staff, but the majority of the BZPRPG staff clearly know more on that than others, and it seems logical to keep the experts where they belong.

That is kind of the same feeling I share, I just avoided saying it because every way I typed it out came across, at least to myself, not as kind as you have worded it.

All forum staff will have the ability to moderate all forums. If someone who was not previously assigned to one of the RPG forums sees a report for something there or happens to find a violation of the BZPower rules, they will take the required action. If it's something more specific to the RPG activities, then they will probably defer it to GSR or myself as the Forum Leaders there.

This seems like a good move. It'll probably help to ensure that forum oversight can be effectively managed even when key staff members in that forum retire or otherwise leave the staff.

The Empress is now one step closer towards domination! Her BBC staff are likely preparing for battle with their new powers as we speak!

I wonder what this actually means. Is it emphasizing a sort of free-liberal stance on this topic? Or am I misreading it?

This totally doesn't have to do with the fact that the forums are understaffed at the moment. Nope, not one bit.

I have slept for so long. My dreams have been dark ones. But now I am awakened. Now the scattered elements of my being are rejoined. Now I am whole. And the Darkness can not stand before me.

I would guess that it's more along the lines of "hey, due to the lack of popularity of some forums, let's give the staff who moderate them the ability to help out elsewhere."

 

But, this change probably can't be pinned down to just one reason.

Is it that terribly difficult to interview and hire staff?

Well, not all of us make it through the combat trial on the first try.

And here I was thinking it was the underwater basket weaving that seperated the members from the staff.

RIP in peace Kopakaroxmysox72. If he had known that the trial took place at the bottom of the Marianas trench, maybe he wouldn't have dressed in only his beachwear.

The BZPRPG Staff aren't staff members (except for Nuju).

 

Their sole domain is the BZPRPG. Some of them pull double duty as RPG Judges or OTCRPG Judges, but otherwise they're perfectly vanilla members like you and me.

 

The previous BZPRPG Staff did have overlap with actual staff (Emzee, Tuck, Nuju, et cetera), but nowadays not really. Actual BZPower staffing usually went to GSR or Emzee or B6, but now it looks like that's not going to be their sole domain, but they'll still be the preferred fellas to deal with the shebang.

Hub touched on this a little, but neither me, Tyler, or Ghost are actually site staff. We just run the game. For a long time it was true that most, if not all, of the BZPRPG's staff was also site staff, but that hasn't been the case since Tyler became Head GM. We just run the game, and will continue to do so.

 

Site staff can have their responsibilities. I'm perfectly happy with our little domain. :P

On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Yeah, we've got enough to do already without having to worry about your crazy game.
