Suggestions & Concerns / Re: On the notion of FES reunification

« on: July 20, 2014, 08:59:43 AM »

I think Tom's argument could be diluted and made more appealing to the other side without removing much substance from it. How about something along these lines:

Daniel can be our leader, there's no problem with that. He can lead projects when he's around (hopefully often) and drive the society forward. What's important is that we have a structure to continue driving the society when he's not around. This could (should?) be periodically elected to try and minimise standstills.

I feel that this covers all bases. Daniel isn't just a figurehead, unless he's gone, in which case he is being deputised by a group of dedicated volunteers. His absence would not stand in our way, but he could still do everything he currently does. From my point of view (except for technical issues), when Daniel is around, he's doing a good job. It strikes me as reasonable that he should continue doing this job. It's just that when he disappears, the Society shouldn't suddenly come to a stop - and that's where direct member involvement could go a very long way.

Sounds good to me

Suggestions & Concerns / Re: Should Mods Be Held to Higher Standard

« on: December 17, 2013, 07:21:27 PM »

I don't say fuck off to as many people as I'd like to so I guess I hold myself to a slightly higher standard but I think that as long as we do our best to obey the rules (taking into account basic human error as pointed out already) and don't be dicks (as we all agreed to when we joined here) then thats a good enough standard.

fine. please unlock my vagina thread though and return it to its state of former glory. I haven't finished talking about vaginas yet.

I'll just delete it and you can post a new one, in CN this time. Deal?

Its ok. I mostly just wanted to check you weren't gonna be nazis with this site. I really don't want to see Gayer's nasty old vagina anyway.
