Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-5745743-20160507034622

There have been MANY issues lately on the wiki pretaining to the future of our RP system and new rule enforcements, etc. These include being much stricter on noobs and their pages (basically quality control), Manual of Style/Page Standard rule enforcements, new admins, an RP council, a new RP timeline for St. Lucifer's Story-RP system and even 'rebooting' L2.

Here is my key in on the subject:

-All that will be changed about L2 will be fixing some things in arcs, we can EASILY create new arcs in place of the old ones, but they still happened regardless

-Nothing in L1 should be made 'non-canon' as they are already splattered all over the wiki on hundreds of pages and officialized. The canoncity can be simply fixed and there would be no big issues.

-The only admin thing changed should be the promotion of an admin if voted on (who it would be would also be voted on).

-The 'RP council' should be an unofficial group of users who work on the story and etc. and should be influenced by normal users.

There has also been talk of the 'majority' winning, but I want to inform everyone once again this wiki is a republic, not a democracy. Instead of just majority wins, we find ways so that everyone wins (compromises, negotiations).

Manual of Style/Page Standards

The rules on our page standards are going to be MUCH higher and stricter than before. We are implementing a new page layout that is basic for RP characters (Example Character Page), so all characters will be required to have those components. The rule saying that pages must be updated for major RPs will be enforced stricter, since people appear to be ALREADY (only this far into L2) lacking and neglecting them. We are trying to be an organized wiki. Instead of insulting me and forcing me to block you for not listening to several years of warnings, try to comprehend that.

I agree with everything about the noobs and their pages, that they will be blocked if they don't up their standards. I gave my opinion on everything else above.

I DAMN WELL support a new RP system but I DO NOT think we should get rid of anything that was a part of the Lookout or Neo Lookout Crew's legacy or messes up several pages and creates more work than needed. We CAN fix all problems with canoncity or what not as needed. I believe in preserving the sentimentality of everything as well as improving, therefore everyone can win. I do NOT want to see this wiki fall into anarchic chaos and everyone needs to calm down and use their head instead of insulting each other (mainly me).
