its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

I was inspired to write this by GJJ’s post. I hope the community will like it, and I’m expecting some feedback soon.


The Blueprint

We need to take action, now! We need a set of guidelines to follow, in order to perfect the column. Though, a perfect state is impossible, we can do our best to reach such goal. I prepared such guidelines, more like declarations, or laws, whatever you might call such.

* Halt all chapter confrontations. (A.K.A Group Wars) We can reach this by organizing a treaty. All those who break the treaty will be punished. The punishment is rather simple, but is the cause of these wars.

Reputation

These wars are active because of reputation. One group tries to ruin ones reputation, so it can come out the best. So in order to stop such actions, we must do the same to the offender. How? To cripple it's reputation. To tell the column. "Hey, don't join this chapter, It is bent on war and pain on others!" Signaling all of the column to stay away from this chapter, which defeats the purpose of one "declaring war." So instead of one, crippling, or even destroying another’s rep, in a war, it will only inflect harm upon itself. Upon extreme cases (Such as the MBT, PopFus conflict) both chapters shall receive punishment, as both took part in harm to the other.

* Stopping all PM recruitment.

It's dividing the column with each one sent, even I am guilty. All chapters must go to conventional methods of recruitment. Rather than saying "I think your cool, why don't you join my group" we should try to convince others to join by providing features only unique to ones chapter.

* Respect

We need to end all the discrimination simply because of join dates. We need to, as a community, respect and treat one another equally. When someone is guilty of saying "Shut up you newbie, you joined in 2006. " we need to confront him/or and respond "You should respect one the way you want to be treated." But we need to do that as a whole, not just one acting solo. Tell him/her, do you want respect here, then I suggest you provide the same.

* Spreading the Word

We should make the guides provided by our loyal peer's more obvious. Chapters have been conquered, and people have been a manipulated by something so avoidable, if they read the guides provided. We should spread the word about these guides, in anyway possible.

* An Assembly

We need to lay down an assembly, a "UN" of the Seventh Column, to confront the problems of today. To enforce the guidelines above, and it will only work if the moderators participate in this project. It will be an equal state, where everyone has equal powers. Anyone can join, and it will be like no other chapter. Promotions are useless and the admin will voted upon. It shall work as a democracy. As of this moment, I work on this idea, and I hope it turns out right. I shall provide a link soon.

Operation Restoration

I've only touched on a number of issues, to show you an example of what we can do. If you read it this far, props to you. I hope us as a community can finally come together and take action.

If people tried things once and failed and then never tried to do it again human being wouldn't have gotten very far.

I admire the enthusiasm, and I offer to help in any way I can, but its whether people will listen.

It's hardly even set up yet but it's a try. I'm really hoping this works. Practice makes perfect. Like I said, this won't be your ordinary chapter.

by 'ruining' another chapters reputation, by saying how they wage wars and all that pathetic stuff, you dont seem to be really much better than they are.

+ points for enthusiasm, however =]

I say we delete all group links from our sigs as well. That divides our community we should bring people together. As for the UN of B.net Idea I like it but we shouldn't vote, people get feelings hurt (thus sparking wars). I say the group shall be lead by the Mods and they shall me the Admins with moderator ability going to members they see fit.

wtf?

Groups serve a purpose.

They don't split up the community.

You're acting as if all this is/was caused by groups.

I completely agree with everything, except this won't work... There is no way a small group of people are going to be able to rebuild the chapters... But it is worth a try...

Some serve a purpose, while other bigger imperialistic groups destroy our community.

I'm in your group... I was just being realistic. At the moment, 5 people aren't going to bring about change, we need more people.

Each other. There has been too many times when there was a problem, where someone would go "Don't worry, I'm going to do something about it!" and too many times have we been arguing about what course we should sail in. Instead we should first say how we truly feel about things, rather than "this sucks". How can one start a journey if he doesn't even know why he is leaving.

Another one of these threads?

There's been to many of these posts lately. They may be inspiring to many people, but they don't do anything. Instead od talking about actions you can do, go do something to help the 7th and then talk about the actions you DID do to help out.


OMG I C+P it from GJJ's thread.
