Mod Address and Communication

[last_lombax]

Hello everyone. Earlier today I posted an Activity Check change and realize now, thanks to the players and fellow mods, it was a foolish thing to do to all of you. I sprung it on you all and I really didn't mean to. To me it seemed like a good idea and I apologize.

Real life hasn't been kind to me lately and it impaired my judgment. Life just got in the way of me thinking clearly about this and I should have been more on my game as Head Mod. And for that I apologize to everyone. I am deeply sorry for this and I hope you can all forgive me.

In the spirits of making this right I'm issuing another poll. This one will be taking place until the 30th and this month we will be forgoing AC and the HMD meme in place of this. As there was the idea to change how we conduct activity checks and the HMD meme I think we should all look at it together and find out how we want to do it. So below you will find a multiquestion poll addressing the issue.

The questions should hopefully be self explanatory but I can answer any questions about it here, on the mod plurk, or my own. I want to know how often you the players want these things, which one should be mandatory, and how we should run them. Please respond by the 30th and please everyone respond so we can implement any changes next month. Thank you all for your time. Without further ado, here is the poll.

Leaving a comment to elaborate a little on my answers-- I think the HMD should be mandatory, but it shouldn't be something that you get kicked out with; just post it with the AC and have your comment double as an HMD or something would be more than enough, I'd think? And I don't mind if the AC is anon-enabled or if it's locked to the community-- I can completely understand people preferring to keep it with people they play with who have a better understanding of their character, and I think most of us have HMDs in our journal if we're open to anon, too!

Thank you for posting this and listening to us about it all. ♥
