Room For Discussion

[Felicity]

Sorry people, no witty pun title to amuse you.

This thread is intended to inform everyone here on the forums who is not aware of the recent creation of a room on the pokemon showdown server intended for open discussion in regards to the community and how it is handled. Discussion has taken place there with the auths present about several griefs people from the community have.

The room was recently formed by several users with concerns and so it does not have a formal protocol but after discussion those who wished to speak came upon a conclusion. The format during a "formal" discussion is as follows.

The room is under moderated chat. Only drivers or higher may speak. If you want to raise a point or debate what another person has said you can either PM someone who can speak or ask to be promoted for a short time whilst you make any longer points.

If you have grievances of your own, come along and talk. What you say will be logged and passed on for the auth to consider at their next meeting.

This has already opened a civil dialogue between users and auth and a lot of valid points were raised in defence of the auth's actions as well as what can be improved. Any additional contributions would be appreciated.

If you want logs of last nights talk, PM Shadow Roxas. To join the room on showdown use the command: /join equalityandfairness

Any additional information as to how this room will be used will be updated here.
