When's the next CTUG meeting?

[Dresden Ceriano]

I just added to the agenda and noticed there is no date posted for the next CTUG meeting.  I know that the one last week was cancelled because of Thanksgiving... so, does that mean there will be one this week or will it be next week as it would have been normally?

It would be nice to know.

Dres, I bet we won't see another of these meetings

Wasn't that hinted at the last one?

 

[Venus Petrov]

I should expect that those who run these things would not wish to leave us assuming anything.  Hint or no hint, last week's was postponed.  Lexie is expected back on 1 December.  Perhaps she will let us know.

[Griffin Ceawlin]

The next one posted on the calendar is December 8.

[Venus Petrov]

Thank you Griffin!

[Griffin Ceawlin]

You're welcome. Whether the calendar is actually kept up to date is another matter, but I do see that one person has indicated that he will not be attending.

[Storm Clarence]

Lexie will be attending.  She is fair.

Looks like there's not going to be one for the foreseeable future.    The relevant wiki page was updated yesterday to include this announcement:

The Forums and the Feeds are going to be critical to the development of THE Cult roleplaying scenario. it is therefore essential that these questions, tabled for discussion at the next meeting - which will not now take place apparently - are addressed by Lindens here.

• Policy Consistency (re: guidelines, and their application including moderation, spam, advertising, post removals, and "sponsored" forums) - Void Singer
• When will transparency be introduced in forum moderation and in reasons around selection of new subforums? The latter used to be discussed at the CTUG. When will residents again have a voice (that is heard)? (Venus)
• FOR FOLLOW-UP - Show names of the new Smileys when you put cursor over them in the selection box, in the same way that the old ones do. (Peewee) No update yet - lexie
• When will Lexie attend another CTUG meeting? Is someone available to take decisions? (Venus)
  • Clarifying this would be very appreciated, especially now that the CTUG team is Rand and Jeremy only. No offense, but visiting a usergroup about the forums that can´t deal with the forums doesn´t make much sense... (Torben)
• Would it be possible to have a sticky notice in the language-specific forums / answers section which informs residents that a basic understanding of the language spoken in the subforum is helpful and appreciated?
  • Many residents are very helpful, answering questions of other residents. Unfortunately the provided google translations are way less helpful then one may think and cause for continued discussion.
• Suggestion to let it be publicly known what course of action is available to residents who wish to dispute a warning, suspension or permanent ban. (Dresden)

I am really not surprised but disappointed.  It says to me one of or a combination of the following.

1.  They did not consider the ROI worth it.

2.  They don't care what we think.

3.  They are too embarrassed to own up to the mistakes.

4.  We really pissed Rodvik off by ruining his fun in feeds.

5.  Someone in LL is trying to cover their butt.

6.  They have thier own agenda they want to (actually are) implement(ing) which is different than our desires.

7.  They are possibly (probably?) clueless what to do.

8.  You can add to this list your own ideas...I am certain there are many other possibilities.

You have to be * kidding me?  Sorry Lexie, I have lost all respect for you and your community team.
