I tried to share out admissions a while back, but nothing much came of it. Looking back, there was an extent to which I think that I set my sights too high. I was looking for people who I was confident would be conscientious in their duties, and would be able to weed out any of our familiar trolls, but would also be able to put in a conscience screen on people who were obviously going to flame out in an apocalypse of racy or sexy headwrong. Which I think was optimistic , really. So, the process fell into abeyance.
However. Too much of the responsibility for the nominal function of this place is concentrated in one person's hands, which is a problem. And, right now, I'm suffering from motivation problems. After yet another swampfucking engagement trying to get people to interact at least as if they could pretend to be human beings, I understand why - the genuinely interesting people who want to join never say anything, people get mocked by the ones who have gone feral, or just turn up having not read the label and expecting the fan site that some of our membership would love the place to become. Frankly, it's a downer.
So, round two. I'll need to wok out a system that is reasonably breakage-proof, but in theory I think it would be a good idea if we tried, while there are still any people around here with prehensile thumbs, to spread the work a little, and build some redundancy into the system. I suggest we talk about this here, for the moment. If we can't sort something out, then there are a couple of other options - putting the system on automatic or just abrogating the system and let Tom sort it - which might mean functionally that the board is closed again.
So, starting points. Who wants to get involved? And what, philosophically, should our entry managers be doing? Gatekeepers or facilitators? |
