Tufi Piyufi Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 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! 12 Quote Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

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.

Black Six Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 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. 2 Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 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. 3 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Imrukii Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 it's a big blue free-for-all. I wonder what this actually means. Is it emphasizing a sort of free-liberal stance on this topic? Or am I misreading it?

V-N Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 This totally doesn't have to do with the fact that the forums are understaffed at the moment. Nope, not one bit. 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. Quote "What we see depends mainly on what we look for" -John Lubbock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Will the BZPRPG staff still have sole control of the Bionicle RPG forum?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. 3 Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
