It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Sigh, wait for it to display instead.

Anyways, maybe we should start talking about the range of powers we want to give these people and the responsibilities. Some people may flat out back away when they find out what they'll have to do everyday.

I don't know about you guys, but i do think that the power of the council should be limited. there is no need to have a bunch of new mods running around.
I do think the members councilors (mind the spelling?) should be able to go into a chapter and check ALL things out without having to join and such.

Why can't we make a group on this to discuss it?

I somehow don't see the use of wannabe mods.

We shouldn't be keeping order in groups. That's the job for a moderator. We should be doing what Just another fan posted on the other page-

-Promote community events such as LAN party's FANfests, tourney's etc.
-Search through chapters and very few weeks put a good chapter in the chapter spotlight.
-Search for community worthy news.
-Answer many Bungie and Community questions.
-Promote the 7th column
-Approve/reject new chapter themes.
-Approve/reject new avatars(?)

That seems perfect. But in no way do I believe we should interfere with personal groups.

What I was thinking was that we could just ask the founder or whoever is in charge of a group permission to put their group in the Spotlight and maybe ask for a description of their group.

Oh yes, and those ideas suggested above sound good. Maybe the Council members could also have a custom avatar or something, since they are in the Council.

No, you just haven't been here long enough and alot of those guys don't post in the main forums. But they are all extremely active in the 7th column, which makes (most of) them great candidates.


(Off-Topic): BlackEye, I have a bone to pick with you. Rephrasing/repeating what other people have already said serves no purpose. If all you can add is "Yeah, that sounds good" or "Yeah, me too", then don't post. Try to actually add new things to the discussion. Also, kissing ass isn't going to get you on the Council. Being a good member will.

Huh? I am just stating what I think about other people's ideas. I am not kissing-ass.

Back on topic,

I am just wondering if we can make a list that everyone agrees to.

Except for LT Devon, I know these guys. I think Devon is the founder of that one group. I think it is The Wrkcancter Club or something like that.

I think that the Council should also have a small say in the picking of Mods. After all, if they are going to be sort of a link between the community and Bungie, then wouldn't they be the perfect people to help? I also think that being on the Council should make you unable to be a Moderator. Too much work.

Hahaha. MC's Brother kind of has a point. If you look on the last page BlackEye, you pretty much said the same thing in every single post.

Okay...sorry, if I find something that I feel is a good idea, I will go more into detail about it. It was late at night and I got really tired of writing.

Now for the first paragraph of this quote...I think you are right. Being a moderator at the same time would be too much work. But if someone asked you, you could always refuse, right? But due to huge amounts of PMs and stuff, maybe people in the Council shouldn't become moderators, as you said.

I was tired too. No worries :)

I don't think they should even be able to have both places at once. They wouldn't be able to preform both duties to the best of their ability. I think that if you were asked to be a Mod, but are a member of the Council, you should have to either resign your place at the Council or refuse Modship.

Thanks. I really need to go into detail though.

If someone was to be a Council member, they would most-likely get a lot of PMs a day. Maybe asking stuff like "How do I get into the Group Spotlight?" and such like that. Moderators as well get a lot of PMs, so having both positions would be difficult, unless you were on this site 24/7.

I feel the same way. Not only that, but said member would need to make time to lock threads, blacklist users, post warnings, as well as interview groups, clear avatars, group themes and news.

The moderators have the word "Forum Ninja" or "Master Forum Ninja", so maybe the Council members could have the same thing. Maybe something like "Council Member". Then again, maybe not though because people might think they are moderators.

Agreed. And to the one who said that the council should help with picking new mods: agreed. If the council can help with chosing a new mod, then things such a VERY recent issue( i won't go into details, that's not what this thread is for) will no longer occur, or so i hope. Because if the council helps deciding, i think people can no longer -blam!- about the chosen mod.
