Okay so, I've got a couple suggestions here as to a bit of OOC workings. Feel free to critique them as you all see fit.
1. Class Change Thread Basically, I'm thinking we need a thread for Mods to actually account for those members who use their Master Seals or Second Seals and then remove them. It can also serve the census bit that's included in the upper info above the forum.
2. Remove Trackers I'm gonna be blunt here, how often are they actually used after they're made? I can certainly understand the ideas behind them, but if no one actually uses them, then it's just a waste of time for everyone involved. However, if you do still want an archiving style system, then...
2b. Plotters Let's make THESE the required thing instead. Instead of just an account of threads, they actually provide info on characters and are a good way for RPers to find other characters that would interest them to play with. With new blood flowing in as well, it's a good way for them to see the other characters that are about without having to read alot of backstory. I'd suggest making them archived by either groups for individual characters like bios or just make one thread per OOC person, much like a few of the threads in that section now.

@ class change thread: a thread would prolly make things more organized, though speaking about the census, i'm slightly curious how it's going to accommodate for promoted classes? it doesn't really look like there's a lot of room, though this is a pretty minor concern tbh
@ trackers + plotters: lol i personally use my tracker but i don't think they're so important that members should be required to make them. it sounds from the forum description that they're more an inventory check than anything, but that's kinda taken care of by the miniprofile, right? i think it'd help to have plotters linked in the miniprofile as well instead of the tracker.

1. Yes, probably a good idea. 2b. I never use plotters, and I don't think it's fair to make a requirement for something I'd never do myself. I don't use trackers either, but it was a system put in by Kuroya, and should probably be reexamined. But y'know, just my opinion, mmm. /shrugs, just came in here to tag the rest of the staff katya, Vic, veri, Satori

Was actually in the cards and I would have had it up yesterday were it not for some personal stuff getting in the way, expect to see this soon! 2. Yeeeeah, I honestly never use trackers? Like, at all? It's kinda fun to throw up blurbs about what she's doing/where they are but I rarely have the interest to hunt down links and stare at code. I'd be fine with seeing them go, though I'm not too sure about plotters being mandatory.

Class Change thread added to the Convoy, I'll look around for places to drop an additional links to it as well.

I'm going to second dropping trackers or making them not mandatory. I made a token effort to update them...once...at one point, but right now I have no inclination to do so, and no inclination to enforce it as a mod. Seems to me like their purpose was to keep track of things before we had a proper item system anyway.
I wouldn't make plotters mandatory either, though.

please don't make trackers mandatory because it's way too much damn effort to keep them updated on the dot especially because work on weekdays means i'm out of the flat for literally 12 hours; i can barely post as it is let alone update that thing. i don't have a strong opinion on plotters though. they're infinitely more useful than trackers on this board.

It's not even mandatory, though. Like... none of that is mandatory. At all. I never updated it. I never saw anyone get in trouble for not updating it. I wouldn't update a plotter either. You'd have to literally change my whole RP style to make me do so. I've tried that method once, and it wasn't for me.

I was under the impression that it was given that everybody upon being accepted into the site had to make a tracker (and I presume maintain it). I figured plotters weren't necessarily mandatory but they're a lot easier to manage than trackers are, at any rate. My mistake for assuming, though.

I always thought Trackers were mandatory as well given that acceptance template says to do it and all.

Not mandatory to maintain it, only to post it. Again, it's one of those rules where I personally questioned why Kuroya even put it in but I didn't find it important enough to make an entire thread over it. We'll reexamine it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Oooh. That makes much more sense now. Thanks for clarifying that regardless! I appreciate it.
