Today is normally the day that the activity check would go up, but instead I'm here to discuss some changes to the community. This is not a post stating that the community is shutting down. I just want to say that first and for most.
As you all have noticed, things have slowed down a considerable amount here in the community, and rather than continue to push for things that are better suited for a large scale community things here are going to be geared more towards a GPSL or Sandbox-esque game. This means that there will be more hands off moderation overall (I'm well aware that I already do the bare minimum as is, but there are a lot of things that generally don't need to be done.)
The changes that are being made to the community are as follows:
- There will no longer be activity checks. Instead, once a month, I will just do quiet clean up and then have the claims list updated to reflect that. The change will be that muses who have not tweeted or responded to tweets within the past month will be removed from the community. This is a similar situation to how one of our activity checks currently works. It is just that no list or post will be made for it.
- The application process will be heavily simplified. I know that this might not be fair to the people who have applied with the old application format, but as there is an energy and shift away from the old format for the community, I realize that such detailed applications and information is no longer required.
- Journals are now optional. I understand that activity in the community is heavily twitter based. With the switch to no activity checks and the way that the community has slowed down a lot, this change will better help the people in the community. If there are people who choose to apply or join, they will need a journal in order to actually apply. The quick add/quick remove will be removed as well.
- The calendar will still be updated.
- There is no activity check for this month.
Thank you guys for staying with us through this entire time. The rules will be updated at the beginning of September to better reflect these changes, but I wanted to give you guys an overview of these changes first.
