' Wrote:I can see how if things are more visible, they can lead to more outright complaints. On the other hand, when things are more quiet like they are, it leads to some conspiracy thoughts and quiet finger pointing. So both have pros and cons - a middle ground would surely be best.
Maybe have posts visible in a pending section, and then deleted when decided either way, with approved going to a list like now. Or possibly an overview of the sort of things that get declined for people to have some reference?
It will probably lead to some complaints, but these complaints will be much easier to verify and uphold or reject. (Reducing time.)
A more open system also stimulates trust, with the current system, I know I have heard of accusations of bias. (Not conspiracy though.)
Making the whole process more transparent and efficient is what I am seeking to do, and perhaps my proposal needs tweaking here and there. (I can only tweak it with suggestive feedback.)

How about dropping the SRP mechanism completely? Everybody has to stay within the bounds set by the tech chart.
Is there better way to achieve this or are special role play requests the 'best' way.
Rather drastic.
Perhaps it may just get rid of all the hassle.
Unfortunately, I foresee more complaints about RP getting quashed popping up. (Although, this approach does certainly wash those in charge's hand off things.)
Having said that, I am glad some Administrator responded in the thread.
