What should HLP 2021 be?

<< < (4/17) > >>

Grizzly:
I know Strygon also volunteered so there's that.

BlackDove:
None of this would have actually happened if the admins simply had an established process for dealing with issues internally. Everyone cannot be always right, and validated in their opinion, because they have the "administrator" tag next to their name, in perpetuity.

You need an adjudication program or person. Either a democratic one, or concentrated to one person. When there is discord between the admins, and a path forward is not clear, let Zacam decide, or something like that. And that person's word is final then, and everyone understands that the contract for doing things that way has been pre-established. Or, since there seem to be many of you, make the binding vote democratic, so that what the majority says goes. There are problems with that, but at least the outcome is definitive, and people aren't just wrangling back and forth.

Lorric:
The most important thing imo is a ruthless commitment to not moderating in a conflict of interest. That means if you posted in the same thread, if you have strong feelings about the subject matter, or have strong feelings (positive or negative) about the individual involved.

And Blackdove comes a very close second. There needs to be rules in place for the next time staff member X abuses their powers, rules that take personal feelings about staff member X out of the equation, and we need to see these rules as well.

I can't speak for everyone but some of us (and I don't think it's just me) aren't always around where some of the Mods have been. We don't know. So there's been some 'going in half cocked' going on.

That's not intended as an excuse, more of in the vein of 'to improve, we need to understand what happened'. That's being discussed internally too - it isn't something anyone will forget (or try to forget).

I agree a code of conduct or something to outline a process is a good idea moving forward.

RazorsKiss:
There are (generally) two ways to use social media: "content curating" and "content generating". For a site like this, your content is not going to be daily, for the most part. So, if you're generating, you will have to find something to do, content-wise, that isn't the mod news. Playthroughs, reviews, interviews, etc. Otoh, if it is curation, then you can still do all of the above - just don't try to generate it on a schedule. Report it as it happens. Pick a longer schedule tail, with fewer updates.

I'm not going to concentrate on our forum as a daily update. It is one channel of many to communicate on, with a particular set of uses. Forums are a midway point between article and comment - long form conversation with a much more interactive basis than articles, but not as chaotic as live chat. Use your various channels of communication with a purpose for each of them designed into your overall media plan.
