Meph having power to sticky and lock stuff sounds like something useful to me.

[Toady One]

Okay, we'll give it a shot.  I left off the delete power for now, to avoid irreversible accidents as much as anything, but I can add it in if it comes up.

[Mephansteras]

Moderator powers are active!

I made some stuff sticky, partially because they're useful and partially to test it out.

I figure I'll have all active games Stickied and whenever they finish (and I either notice or people let me know) I'll unsticky them.


Let me know if you guys have any other threads you really want Sticky.

And thus the sticky reign of Mephansteras began...

[Nerjin]

Mephansteras the Sticky... What a wonderful designation for our new overlord. I woulda went for... The Great... or maybe The Bold or something. Always helps to give a nice name when the guillotine starts.

[Leafsnail]

I think that might be too many stickies now.  My suggestion would be to link the lurker tracker, basic tutorial and notable games archive from the New Player's Guide, and then unsticky those three threads.

I think Games Threshold Discussion and List could do with being renamed or possibly remade entirely, to make it clear that it's listing all the games currently on and in signups (it would be helpful if it had links too).  It's a bit huge and old to be useful in its current form.

Mafia Gametypes could also possibly do with a new thread with an active OP.

e: With a new list thread there might also be no need to sticky active games.  Newbie games in signups could possibly do with a sticky thread though.

I agree. I think only the Newbie games should be stickied. Every other game type can hold its own.

I agree that stickies for active games is a bit overkill.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, I think that might get a bit cluttered.

[Vector]

I agree.  We need to completely vamp the system... probably kill all the old threads and start anew.  They're all getting pretty heavy, and at this point it's sort of pointless.

Maybe we try to start them again once a year?  Notable Games Archive should be stable, but the Games Threshold Discussion and List really needs to be refurbished.

[TolyK]

I agree with Vector, even though I come here only occasionally.

Yeah, I've been thinking about this.

One good question is who should be OP on the threads. I can make them, but on the other hand I can act as OP for any thread, which effectively gives up two OPs if someone else starts them. Not sure if that's needed, but it's worth thinking about.


I'm actually leaning towards keeping the Notable Games and Lurker tracker where they are. Those are as much for active players to use as new ones, so it doesn't really make sense to have those stuck as links in the new player's thread. And I feel like the directory thread ended up being more of a 'keep things out of sight' effect rather than being a handy way to get to things.

[Leafsnail]

I'd quite like to take Mafia Gametypes, it would be good to put some more guidance in the OP.

Seems reasonable to me.

[Leafsnail]

I made a new OP for Mafia Gametypes.
