He has a point. I'd never ban anyone unless they made threats.

The Chinese are copying something from the West?! Paint me surprised!

Your petty insults are bothersome.

Which in turns means a more skilled or informed workforce, but at the same time it means that meritocracies will be more on the spot to differentiate your average skilled worker, from someone who is worth your time.

That's what happens when everyone goes to college. Before, only people who were generally wealthy went to college, now people who are poor can go to college through student loans. It's lowering the quality of the degree. Wouldn't be surprised if companies in the future will require at the minimum a Master's degree.

That's against their philosophy. Which is one I also agree with, but realistically only few organizations can achieve it.

I wish they would just put a small ad up.

I think you are correct; we are heavily encouraged to steer towards the ideologies of freedom, and democracy. However, the dramatic shift towards those systems occurred also because of long-term effects post the destruction from both the world war, and the second world war. It also has proven more reliable since it allows for great economic and social development whilst also retaining a large power to the sovereign.

Chances are that it's going to be a directorate, and if the amount of worlds is too big then it's going to be a representative government mainly based on local ones similar to the EU structure.

Maybe I might sound racist, but most of the inmates appear to be of color... What's going on with that?

See you, Slash. I do hope things work out for you.

I would suggest to change the way the ranks are and distribute the staff better. First of all, the majority of the moderation staff should be Monitors, afterwards Ninjas, and then Master Ninjas. Secondly, inactive moderation members shouldn't be demoted unless they hold the rank of Master Ninja (which would require an active Master Ninja to keep the moderation in check) and instead set as "inactive" but nonetheless retain their colors.

Since you want to have a rotation of members then it's better to keep that rotation for Monitors, and instead move up the Monitors to Ninjas who have potential for a permanent position in the staff unless they are resigning. Moreso, an inactive monitor can be easily be swapped with someone else. Also limiting the amount of Monitors per rotation would be the same as what's happening right now with the monitors.

It's alwa-- oh yeah. Right.

Well no shit you can't. It's kinda hard to go into the forum when it's not up.

To me it seems that moving into an unknown community when he was 16 impaired his confidence because he was cast off in a wholly different community than what he was familiar, and comfortable with. I am not a psychoanalyst though. So I may be wrong.

Pls expand on this because I am genuinely interested in what you are talking about?

• During the first few weeks, Cheat cleared up the matter about moderation. Ever since, and I also agreed to this, my moderation actions are performed only upon necessity.
• The "horrible idea" for an anime board was something that was discussed in the staff. I also got permission by Cheat to create a thread for it. My aggressive defense of it is indeed a fault, but I don't feel like discussing it any further at this point.

One thing I wanted to add to the discussion relating to the staff update is related to our web designer Isara and how she seems to have begun to view herself as more than she really is in this community. She is not a moderator nor is she a community manager. From what I understand she is a web designer for this site and we should not have to regard her as an authority figure. I also don't recall that she was appointed to push her ideas such as her horrible idea for an anime board and to perform moderation duties. Perhaps I'm wrong though and if you feel that way then please provide an argument for why you disagree.
