I am thankful to hear about all of the wonderful work moderation team has been doing, as well as the staggering number of initiatives in the works. Moderation members, especially the newer faces like @PrettyCuteAnnaand @Toddbringer, have been doing a wonderful job and I am ecstatic we have you all helping improve the LotC experience.

 

+1, great steps on the road to 500.

MODERATION TEAM UPDATE

SPRING 2023

━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━
 

 

Hi everyone,

 

 

It has been 283 days since our last team update. 

 

As you all know, Rilath stepped down in September and I replaced him as Mod Admin for a second chance at leading the team. I had relatively stable activity during the first few months of that, but as my final semester at university ramped up, I was distracted maintaining my IRL priorities. Now that I don’t have a 7-course workload and have landed future employment, I have a stable schedule. I can finally give the care and attention to the server & team they both rightfully deserve.

 

At the beginning of the year, I wanted to shake up Moderation. I sent this message to Moderation, and selected current members and prospective applicants to be the leaders of our new team. 

 

 

 

With a smaller team, I feel that our unnecessary, high effort low output busy-work has been eliminated. As it currently stands, we have 9 members on the team. This is lower than what my ideal time size is (11-13), but as I type this we are actively looking for new members to join us.

At that, below is our modreq data since March.

This is a list of the topics we are currently discussing.

 

CRP Rules - Analyzing our current rules, and adjusting them to make the system simple.

Internal Conflict (completed) - Adding new aspects to the system and redefining the rules.

Mod Handbook - Updating our mod handbook.

Petty Theft and Heists - Analyzing our current rules, and adjusting them to make the system simple.

Chat Sanitization - Bettering our filter system.

Forum Rules - Redoing our rules, and making them consistent with our mission statement.

Forum Permissions - Self explanatory

Misc Rules - Proposal of various rules, including adjusting our trap, build, and redstone / door / key rules.

Romance RP - How we can tackle escalation of Romance RP better, and discussing its place on our server.

  • Lead by: @Mod Team

Mod Forum Guide - Reworking our internal guide for handling forum warnings and rule enforcement.

 

 

I also want to take a moment for some honorable mentions to current and previous moderators.

@Masouri

Huge props for taking initiative in trying to fix the mess that is conflict. One of the most level-headed and mission-driven team members that was on our team.

@The60th

Thank you for helping me with the day-to-day activities of the team while I was stressed. I appreciate you also analyzing our modreqs and seeing what you could automate to lower the amount of tickets that came in.

@Mio

You were a mod for 520 days, and you were @GMRO#2. Couldn't have gotten this far without you bro.

@Fireheart

From one madmin to another, thank you for holding me accountable this year. I appreciate you reminding me to take care of certain issues.

 

 

@Mod Team

#1 team no cap. Thanks for bearing with me during my last semester.

 

 

Lastly, if you want to be involved in future discussions surrounding some of the projects that we are currently working on, including potential war rules - join our Mod Team discord at this link! If you want to be even more involved, we now have three specializations on the team that you can choose to focus on if you apply, including: server moderation, forum moderation, and conflict moderation. We are currently looking for more people who would rather lurk the forums than log in-game (forum janitors), as well as moderators who seek to fill all three specializations. If you're interested in joining, apply at this link.

 

 

Sincerely,

Your Madmin

Alex (itdontmatta#3889)

escalation of Romance RP

im curious to know what this entails, escalation in the sense of people not FTBing soon enough? or just as a general hot-topic on the server?

Both. We need to distinguish a line for when it needs to stop.

The first step toward creating a safer environment is making FTB against the rules, and even a bannable offense. Full stop. People will message "Switch over to Discord?" moments after fading a scene and create a perfect festering ground for all kinds of degeneracy to occur.

The truth of the matter is FTB is not needed to create a rich story. If a pregnancy must happen IC, players can easily arrange that OOC. If there is a romantic relationship between two characters, it is already implied that they are intimate with each other in some way or another.

It might sound like a drastic measure but I assure you it will greatly reduce the chances for predators to prey on people. Anyway, I appreciate your and everyone's efforts to make this community a safer place, and those are my two cents.

The line to be drawn, in my opinion, is as simple as if you would feel that the Roleplay is uncomfortable if it was between a 18yo and a 14yo OOCly then it shouldn't be on the server because that's often enough the situation.

 

Another way of wording that is against Intimate Romance RP. Anything more than a peck on the cheek should be disallowed, and even intimate conversations I think ought be put to scrutiny. Relationships are obviously a big part of Character Roleplay, but you don't need to delve into many details to get the aesthetic/narrative of a Relationship. 

 

Taking it to another medium should also be seriously bannable 100%

      Stein's Final Moments
      Alone, that was the feeling he felt, as he laid on the table in the surgical room in the Hohkmat clinic. Fear made itself  known as well, as he was recently cured from vampirism in that very room. The fear only grew as the restraints seemed to get tighter and the room spinning. Two others made there way in, separate, and at different times. They were once friends, family even if it came down to it. But his actions caused them to forget him as someone good. Hour's passed by as Stein, now called Almer, laid there on the surgical table, waiting for his fate to be decided. The door creaked open and his restraints came loose, allowing himself to sit up. His fate had been decided, the only thing he could do, was make it painless. The choices were simple, die a painful death, or be put to sleep, feeling nothing. The decision was simple, as he took the Nightsap juice given to him.
       
      Before drinking, memories of his life flashed in his mind, memories of his childhood on his farm with his family, that he had forgotten so long ago. Now taking a drink of the juice, memories of his time in Reinmar, the friends he made that grew into a family outside of his original home on the farm. And as he slowly drifted away, his memories were of his new friends, now wishing him dead. The last image that made it's way to his mind was everyone he knew, gathered together. Almost like a final farewell, even though he did not deserve it. As his death drew near a tear rolled down his face, before his heart stopped, his limbs and body turning cold, and his image, slowly fading away, into the darkness, as he drew his very last breath.
       
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      OOC NOTE:
      Finally, after almost three months of playing as Stein/Njal/Almer, I have finally made the decision to pk him. This wasn't the ending I wanted for him, however this is the ending I am giving him. I am taking this time to thank everyone that was a part of his life, these past three months on the server have been a blast. Stein and myself have made a lot of friends that I hope to keep and play along side them with other characters I make. So for those reading this thank you and to anyone that knows, give a salute as "The Stone Fortress" has finally fallen.
       
      I will now take the time to thank those that have impacted Stein's life greatly @FunkehMelon @melonth @ickyNuN @confusedjester @Rocky_Wolf @SmothBM  @Irishmanmichael  and of course many more that I am sadly too lazy to actually search up and apologize for it. However though not everyone that has impacted Stein's life will be on here, I have not forgotten you and will never forget you. So thank you all for the fun three months, and I will see you all in my next lives <3!
