ANNOUNCEMENT: User Notes will be utlilized under our new policies

[A New Dawn]

Bears repeating.

I understand the concern that some people are expressing here - but I would like to point you to the Reconciliation team -
Meh
Letalis
BelindaP
ProfessorMom
ParaCristo
HeatherJay
Kiwimac
Sign Of The Fish Burger
and ask - who on this team do you think will for a second allow anything bad to be posted in anyones notes?

I don't think you want my honest opinion of that question.

But that aside, where are the members of the reconciliation team listed? I looked on the staff page and there is no reconciliation team mentioned.

I'm not sure if the group will eventually have a separate team icon. Right now, they're grouped with the superadmins, much as the Wiki team was grouped earlier.

Here's a link to the announcement about the Reconciliation team.

So I'll have to search through the forums to find a post that lists who will be on the reconciliation team?

They aren't making anything easy for anyone (except themselves), are they?

 

[ravenscape]

You can also check the titles of the super-admins. Several are wearing dual hats, like Letalis. Once the FAQ's are updated with info about the reconciliation team, it should be much easier to find them. There's a lot of FAQ updating needed, though, and the policy team is working some rough hours trying to get new policy info written up and published in the Announcements forum.

This user note thing seems pretty scary to me. Exactly what is going into this? Only formal warnings and infractions or can any staff member write in anything they like? How would one go about gettting redress on something that was unfairly or written with bias?

How does one formally request to see their user notes and how often can one request it?

How it has been presented to me is that this is the information can only be factual information. EX. Sock account is 1234. FSB issued on 12/1/07, etc.

There is to be not commentary that does not pertain to the rules violations and actions taken.

A member can request at anytime a copy of their user notes. If there is something on there that the member finds objectionable they can contact the reconciliation team and have it looked it to.

I hope this helps.

God Bless,

Back to user notes ...................... I don't have a problem with them.

Me neither, when I was on staff, it was something I asked for repeatedly. Not to gossip about someone, but to keep up with people who has FSB going for each sub-forum, and for the people that have multiple socks. When you have a forum of this size, it is hard to keep up with each FSB. And with amount of membership, it is every easy for someone who wants to cause difficulty to make several socks and just rotate through them(it has happened!). Most of the time staff does not want the UN to unfairly "label" a member. They really are just trying to do their jobs to the best of their abilities.

(1)User-Notes are handy to staff

(2)User-notes being visible to the member in question and staff would be a great compromise.. if its code-able

((((HUGS!!)))) Luv Ya Bro!


I agree, if they were codeable to be seen by that specific member, I think that would help alot.

I agree, and I don't see why that couldn't be done, after all, it was coded so that we could see our own rap sheet. Why not the user notes?

Good to see you, Bro!

Cool. And they're a bad thing for some reason?

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

User Notes are just text that can be added to your profile. vBulletin has options where they can be added by anybody, nobody, or only certain User Groups. Likewise, there are options for who can read them--anybody, nobody, or just certain people.

If anybody can add, they function more or less like the Guestbook you have now. If only certain people can add, they function as a way for Staff to note... whatever they want to note.

I don't think that too many people object to using them, but it's that last that part that "whatever they want to note" part that sticks in some peoples' craws.

Just to refresh, we have been assured that only factual information (known socks, infractions, ban date) will be added, and that we can get a copy of our User Notes upon request.

 

[ravenscape]

Please note: A large number of posts (60 or thereabouts) that were commentary and discussion of this rule, other rules, rules in general, and the sociology of rules have been moved to the DISSCUSSION OF ANNOUNCEMENT: User Notes will be utlilized under our new policies thread.

This thread is for questions and clarifications about the new user notes.

The DISCUSSION thread is for discussion/commentary on the user notes, rules, etc. Please use that thread for ALL posts except QUESTIONS and CLARIFICATIONS.

Thank you,

Raven

can I see my user notes?

 

[Mrs.Sidhe]

Let me ask the new staff of LeeD a question.

Do you really have that much of a problem with dissention that you have to move things to a so called "discussion" thread. Where of course you don't have to answer for what's been done and you can just let people talk?

What other ways are you going to silence dissention in the coming months?
