Discussed in SOG Staff Meeting V

- Disabling Anonymous Edits: Proposed by Mas

Status: Debating. Votes currently in favor: 3. Neutral/abstention: 1.

Proposal to disable anonymous edits. Though the measure seems to have some support right now, I'd like to take the time to state that although I think it is a useful way of cutting down some kinds of trolls and spam, it doesn't prevent or affect most of the issues we occasionally struggle with. I don't oppose it, but feel it should receive more attention before a verdict is reached. Further votes and discussion should be tagged with Disabling Anonymous Edits.

- Motion to Record Prior Meetings: Raised by Cyber

Dutifully carried out by your virtual vergobret and scribe, Stormlilly! Wahahaha. Damn, I'm tired, though... That three-day weekend just wasn't long enough. Cyber, could you comment if this sort of recording is what you had in mind? Bold your response Recording if you do.

- Voting Code Motion: Raised by Mas

Double-bracket code to get your vote easily counted. Support, Oppose, and Neutral may be used. Remember that code doesn't explain your reasons, however, and to back up your vote with opinion and facts where possible.

- Expansion of the Community Focus: Raised by Areis

Status: Debating. Votes currently in favor: 3. Neutral/abstention: 1.

Proposal to broaden our focus from being a repository of spooky stories and creepypasta into a SOG-oriented community hub, with articles about key players, gaming, technical tips, urban legends and all the sorts of things that SOG covers as a channel. Essentially think of it a further expansion past the 'theory' sub-genre of story. Motion met with some confusion at first, as well as some approval, but more attention should be given before a verdict is reached. Further votes and discussion should be tagged with Community Expansion.

- Nomination of Lindenbree as Administrator: Raised by Stormlilly

Status: No response. Votes in favour: 1.

I'm quite serious about this, and interested that no votes at all have been received. Now that the focus is back on wiki improvment, I would like to heavily draw attention to my nomination. I'm only on at odd hours; Bree is on at regular hours. I feel with our number of regular administrators at sub-par numbers, and the fact Bree is a familiar face in the wikia means that this should be a non-issue. Please consider rectifying that with a vote in favour.

- Rule Errata, Meeting V: Proposed seperately by Mas, and Lindenree/Babylon

Status: Approved.

Mas's proposal is mostly an admin 'cheat-sheet' and a motion that should be consulted whenever an admin isn't 100% sure about what they're doing. I'm going to consider it a motion, as it doesn't directly relate to amending the rules - Mas, respond to this if you disagree. The latter, however, propsed by Lindenbree and Babylon are a comprehensive adminstrivia reform that have seen large scale approval and should be integrated as soon as possible. The former may be found here, and the latter may be found here. Please check both out, and feel free to respond with a tag of Rules Errata, Meeting V if you have further discussion.
