19:46:22 <marja11> hunt for new members ;) 19:47:05 <doktor5000> marja11: yup, and hunt and tie them, until they volunteer to help :D 19:47:12 <marja11> lol 19:48:25 <marja11> doktor5000: you continue with the list?

19:52:17 <maat|lin> agreed on that 19:52:21 <maat|lin> perfect :) 19:52:22 <marja11> great :) 19:53:51 <doktor5000> ok, so next 19:53:55 <doktor5000> 4- revisit Archive:Forums_discussion_week_25_2011 and learn from the mistakes which were made, and try to improve on that 19:54:09 <doktor5000> maat|lin: ok? 19:54:26 * marja11 hasn't looked at the link yet 19:54:30 <marja11> looking now 19:55:05 <doktor5000> maat|lin: i think noone will deny that mistakes happened in the past, and we can learn from that and try to avoid them in the future and improve beyond that 19:55:17 <maat|lin> yes 19:55:47 <doktor5000> maat|lin: marja11 actually this is closely tied to the last point - same topic 19:56:22 <doktor5000> ok, so on to some organisational stuff 19:56:32 <doktor5000> 5- put up a public list in wiki/forum (to be discussed) with requirements for application as moderator 19:57:07 <maat|lin> s/application/something else/ 19:57:26 * marja11 thinks it should mention very clearly, that for some requirements it'll be what others think about you 19:57:38 <maat|lin> i'd like to avoid as much as possible that people *apply* 19:57:48 <doktor5000> maat|lin: ok? i think we should have a public list with requirements, however every candidate needs to be discusses internally and stuff like that ... 19:57:57 <maat|lin> i'd rather have them asked for by moderators 19:58:05 <maat|lin> something like co-optation 19:58:09 <doktor5000> maat|lin: yep, peer review is one criteria 19:58:18 <maat|lin> without me having to say yes or no 19:58:24 <doktor5000> maat|lin: hmmm, what is that? 19:58:37 <maat|lin> because i'm admin not moderator :) 19:58:49 <marja11> maat|lin: yep, I understand 19:58:49 <maat|lin> 2 things very important 19:58:55 <doktor5000> maat|lin: you're also moderator ;) 19:59:04 <maat|lin> i'll try to make myself clear 19:59:24 <marja11> doktor5000: he has the rights, but he hasn't got the same talent as isadora 19:59:35 <marja11> in that field 19:59:36 <maat|lin> 1st thing moderators in period of crisis have to trust each other and help each other 19:59:38 <doktor5000> maat|lin: maybe i can take your part as moderator, so you can focus more on team lead and admin tasks :P 20:00:18 <maat|lin> 2nd thing important people who *want* to be moderators often prove to be awful in that job 20:00:35 <doktor5000> maat|lin: marja11: ok, i've got no problem with only doing technical moderation, like adjusting thread titles, applying code tags and moving stuff around 20:00:40 <maat|lin> So for me the first criteria is to not ask :) 20:00:58 <maat|lin> the second is to be spotted by others moderators as a potential candidate 20:01:02 <doktor5000> maat|lin: ok, somehow comprehensible ... 20:01:10 <maat|lin> then one moderator proposes he/she to the others 20:01:32 <maat|lin> and if one says no then the job is not proposed 20:01:53 <maat|lin> if i want this to be completely working with a strong trust between moderators 20:02:01 <doktor5000> maat|lin: nevertheless, still i want to re-apply like told above :P 20:02:06 <marja11> maat|lin: is it possible to differentiate between "general moderators" and "technical moderators" 20:02:12 <maat|lin> i should avoid to tamper with this process 20:02:13 <doktor5000> maat|lin: totally understandable, no objection 20:02:25 <maat|lin> i could propose one 20:02:34 <maat|lin> but the moderators will have the last word 20:02:41 <maat|lin> wether yes or no 20:02:44 <doktor5000> marja11: well, can be cleared up internally, no? 20:03:25 <doktor5000> maat|lin: however you want it, you still even have the last word as you're forum team leader now, remember :) 20:03:28 <maat|lin> by internal vote among moderators 20:03:35 <maat|lin> yes 20:04:06 <marja11> maat|lin: is it technically possible to have "technical moderators" who can adjust thread titles and add code or url tags and such? 20:04:11 <maat|lin> i could kick one moderaror for having crossed the line (violating mageia rules for example) 20:04:22 <maat|lin> marja11: yes 20:04:35 <maat|lin> marja11: helpers are those kind of "moderators" 20:04:50 <doktor5000> maat|lin: no, i mean if some moderators only want to do "technical" moderation and other want to do social moderation, than can be cleared up internally beforehand and in general, no? 20:04:59 <maat|lin> but i don't like to use the word moderators for people who don't enforce forum rules 20:05:25 <maat|lin> enforce rules is what you call "social" moderation doktor5000 ? 20:05:30 <doktor5000> maat|lin: as we're at open issues, might want to be more specific (you don't need to say names) ? 20:05:56 <maat|lin> heu 20:06:04 <maat|lin> sorry not understood the last 20:06:21 <marja11> nor did I, sorry :/ 20:06:32 <doktor5000> maat|lin: well, doing something without posting is what i call technical moderation ... clearer? 20:06:40 <maat|lin> well 20:06:59 <maat|lin> you mean merging/moving/splitting/changing topics ? 20:07:44 <doktor5000> maat|lin: yep, this was just an example if maybe some moderators want to divide their work areas or so, just a proposal, may not be used but a possibility 20:08:13 <maat|lin> then yes i agree on the need to "organise" the chaos which is why some groups have got "moderation rights" on some areas 20:08:18 <marja11> he'll be back 20:08:32 <maat|lin> for example helpers in the support areas of the forum 20:08:52 <maat|lin> they cannot help properly without these rights 20:09:04 <doktor5000> WTF? 20:09:08 <marja11> [22:08] <maat|lin> then yes i agree on the need to "organise" the chaos which is why some groups have got "moderation rights" on some areas 20:09:10 <marja11> [22:08] <marja11> he'll be back 20:09:11 <marja11> [22:08] <maat|lin> for example helpers in the support areas of the forum 20:09:13 <marja11> [22:08] <maat|lin> they cannot help properly without these rights 20:09:28 <maat|lin> but i my mind they are not supposed to enforce forum rules 20:09:49 <maat|lin> posting reminders of the rules 20:10:06 <doktor5000> marja11: thanks for giving me backlog, probably some nickserv issue 20:10:13 <marja11> doktor5000: yw 20:10:13 <maat|lin> edit users posts to hide rude words or things like that 20:10:36 <maat|lin> i my mind they are supposed to call global moderators for help 20:10:37 <doktor5000> maat|lin: hmm? not - then who is resposible for that, if not moderators? 20:10:59 <doktor5000> maat|lin: ahh, you mean the helpers - did i say helpers somewhere? 20:11:06 <maat|lin> i did 20:11:10 <maat|lin> as an example 20:11:27 <marja11> [22:09] <marja11> [22:08] <maat|lin> for example helpers in the support areas of the forum 20:11:48 <maat|lin> is my vision clear enough ? 20:12:02 <maat|lin> (not sure with my poor english) 20:12:29 <marja11> yes 20:12:31 <doktor5000> actually i was talking about moderators, not helpers - helpers are merely a support thing, IMHO 20:13:03 <maat|lin> in fact i consider that helpers have the role of what you call "technical moderation" 20:13:09 <doktor5000> whatever - maybe that should also be discussed helpers <> moderators 20:13:14 <maat|lin> which i call "organizing the chaos" 20:13:53 <doktor5000> maat|lin: actually i think the disctinction is not that good, but also i'd not give just all of those full moderations rights ... 20:14:31 <maat|lin> but if helpers start playing a "moderator" role (enforcing rules) the relation with users will be less friendly 20:14:42 <maat|lin> helpers are the nice guys helping 20:15:01 <maat|lin> moderators are the policemens that everybody fears :p 20:15:14 <maat|lin> (exagerated of course) 20:15:21 <marja11> no one fears isadora ;) 20:15:24 <doktor5000> #action "organizing the chaos" - internal structure of forums team should be rediscussed, esp wrt. helpers<>moderators 20:15:32 <doktor5000> maat|lin: marja11 is right ;) 20:15:36 <maat|lin> lol 20:15:39 <maat|lin> i know 20:15:45 <maat|lin> but when he says "no" 20:15:54 <maat|lin> people dont argue ;) 20:16:03 <marja11> that's his talent 20:16:09 <maat|lin> which is the ideal moderator profile for me 20:16:23 <doktor5000> ok, whatever, back on topic - maat|lin said: (22:04:13) maat|lin: i could kick one moderaror for having crossed the line (violating mageia rules for example) 20:16:36 <maat|lin> yes 20:16:51 <doktor5000> i said: (22:05:31) doktor5000: maat|lin: as we're at open issues, might want to be more specific (you don't need to say names) ? 20:17:03 <doktor5000> maat|lin: can you give us an anonymous summary? 20:17:22 <marja11> doktor5000: ah, that was you meant, thx for clarifying 20:17:25 <maat|lin> <doktor5000> i said: (22:05:31) doktor5000: maat|lin: as we're at open issues, might want to be more specific (you don't need to say names) ? <-- did not understood that 20:18:01 <marja11> maat|lin: when you said that, did you have someone in mind? 20:18:11 <maat|lin> no 20:18:22 <maat|lin> i did not have somebody in mind 20:18:36 <maat|lin> at least nobody of the mageia community 20:18:53 <marja11> maat|lin: so it was "if someone would violate mageia rules, then....... etc" 20:19:16 <maat|lin> but in the pas i had to kick somebody that did very nasty things 20:19:24 <maat|lin> in the past 20:19:34 <maat|lin> and in another community 20:19:36 <doktor5000> maat|lin: in mageia forums? 20:19:39 <maat|lin> nope 20:20:14 <maat|lin> thanks god the case did not arise (yet ^^) 20:20:25 <maat|lin> but that could occur 20:20:50 <marja11> maat|lin: next time, say: "if a moderator would have crossed the line, (violating mageia rules for example), I could kick him" 20:20:59 <doktor5000> maat|lin: well, somebody has to do what needs to be done ... 20:21:09 <maat|lin> and in that case i'd have to report to the board and then kick (or at least demote) the guy/lady 20:21:13 <maat|lin> yes 20:21:21 <maat|lin> hope i'll nerver have to 20:21:31 * marja11 hopes so, too 20:21:37 <maat|lin> in a normal mode 20:22:11 <doktor5000> FWIW, quite a while ago during and after the infamous time-to-edit discussion, some people were angry about maat|lin 20:22:20 <maat|lin> moderators (iow "global" moderators) should be co-opted in a democratic way by moderators "sub-team" 20:22:35 <maat|lin> yup 20:22:39 <maat|lin> i saw 20:22:46 <maat|lin> and i read every post 20:22:55 <maat|lin> even if i did not answer 20:23:05 <maat|lin> (would only have made things worse) 20:23:12 <doktor5000> IMHO your reaction was partly comprehensible and partly inadequate - whe should avoid that stuff like this happens again ... 20:23:22 <maat|lin> but the temptation was very very strong :p 20:23:29 <marja11> thanks for not having replied 20:23:49 <marja11> doktor5000: there were more inadequate reactions 20:24:25 <maat|lin> (to be honest i wrote very rude answers and hesitated between post or cancel) 20:24:34 <marja11> we all want the best for the forums 20:24:47 <marja11> can we please focus on how to do that 20:24:47 <maat|lin> doktor5000: agreed 20:24:55 <doktor5000> marja11: well, yes but on both sides - anyways, it was a very heated thing, next time we should escalate this much earlier in forums team and maybe also council as two of you are members now 20:25:01 <marja11> yes, of course we should learn from the past 20:25:02 <doktor5000> maat|lin: ^^^^^ 20:25:43 <maat|lin> marja11: indeed :p 20:25:53 <marja11> doktor5000: yes, de-escalate before we can't control it anymore 20:26:35 <doktor5000> #action avoid heated situations like infamous time-to-edit discussion and escalate much earlier to forums team and to council 20:26:45 <marja11> #undo 20:26:45 <Inigo_Montoya> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x83d8fcc> 20:26:47 <marja11> typo 20:26:53 <doktor5000> marja11: no, actually we need to escalate this 20:26:58 <marja11> it is de-escalate 20:27:10 <marja11> if you escalate, it becomes worse 20:27:19 <maat|lin> not an action doktor5000 20:27:37 <maat|lin> just something we need to keep in mind forever ;) 20:27:59 <doktor5000> marja11: the situation has to be put on the table higher in the hierarchy of mageia, that's what i mean by escalation ;) 20:28:01 <marja11> http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/escalate 20:28:21 <marja11> doktor5000: lol 20:28:30 <doktor5000> marja11: read second paragraph: in technical support, to transfer a telephone caller to the next higher level of authority 20:28:49 <doktor5000> marja11: that's my new favourite term at work, trust me i know what that means 20:29:09 <marja11> doktor5000: yes, but to me it means making the problems grow 20:29:42 <doktor5000> #action avoid heated situations like infamous time-to-edit discussion and try to de-escalate the overall situation and escalate (transfer the issue to the next higher level of authority) much earlier to forums team and to council 20:29:46 <doktor5000> marja11: ^^^^ better?
