Changes to Login and User Dashboard
We are testing a change on the front page where Community Builder will start taking over the user dashboard and activity feed instead of EasySocial. EasySocial has been giving us some compatibility issues after the upgrade, so this is part of making the site more stable going forward.

Your suggestion seems sound Ros, but I agree with Tris here saying there is an issue with timing.
Another aspect is single-sided approaches - someone may get a warning here for saying "Council are terrible they lock all our threads" ... That'd be single sided. But the simultaneous open discussion started about when and how we, as a community, think that thread locking should be used would be fairer.

Its almost like youre suggesting people should be allowed to have the discussions which interest them without others interfering. Very interesting. Imagine if we applied that basic principle to the whole forum and not just this one topic.

This is the problem. Every. Single. Time.
I don't have a problem with the thread or the conversation. When the thread was brought up in Council I was the one to ask to let it run.
Now I take too long. Now I'm not listening. Now this. Now that. I gave the reason. If someone wants to unlock it fine. As I say, I don't have a problem.
Every time we make a decision its not fair. Sorry. Its not going to be perfect.

I'm going to post the Code of Conduct for Amtgard
1. Speech that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their property or safety
2. Physical violence outside of the normal bounds of combat conduct
3. Sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual contact
4. Theft or willful destruction of other peoples property
5. Repeated unwillingness to follow game rules
6. Creating a hostile environment detrimental to the enjoyment of the group as a whole
The Monarch, with the joint agreement of either the Prime Minister or the Guildmaster of Reeves, may ban a player from their group (and subgroups) for any of the reasons including, but not limited to, the list above at their discretion for any amount of time they feel appropriate. Any Monarch, with the joint agreement of either the Prime Minister or the Guildmaster of Reeves, may end a ban on a player at any time with the exception that a park Monarch may not overturn a ban instituted at the Kingdom level.
Any Kingdom level ban placed by a player’s Kingdom of residence for items 2 or 3 is automatically extended to all Kingdoms and their Subgroups. It is the responsibility of the Monarch enacting the ban to notify the Kingdoms using the Circle of Monarchs communication tools. Any Kingdom Monarch, with the joint agreement of either the Prime Minister or the Guildmaster of Reeves, may exempt their Kingdom from this extension by choosing to assume responsibility for the banned player and allowing the banned player to engage in Amtgard activities within their Kingdom and Subgroups. In doing so, that Monarch is stating
hat they believe the following is true:
1. The banned player adds no additional threat to the safety of the players in this Kingdom or its Subgroups
2. The presence of the banned player will not create a hostile or unwelcoming environment for other players attending functions of this Kingdom or its Subgroups related to the nature of the ban
3. There is a compelling reason that having the banned player participate in the functions of this Kingdom and its Subgroups is beneficial to the functioning of those same groups
This allows the leaders of a group to say "Bob is suspended from 6/1/2018 to 9/1/2018 for violation of code 3" without going into too many details.
This is an example of a notice of action that is posted in a public location for Amtgard, the rules for how you appeal is usually sent via PM with the rest of the message:

Obi, I'm not sure I 100% understood your response; but there was an opportunity in the second paragraph of my response for someone to start this thread . Under the current decisions/guidelines for when we, as a community, can lock threads, your thread fell into that category. Maybe those guidelines aren't the ones we want to be using any more.
I liked your thread. I think lots of people can appreciate your thread. It brought up lots of different ideas about inconsistencies and how we interact in the temple. I think a lot of different threads could be started out of it to clear up inconsistencies, and they will be further reaching, as they won't just be about one incidence focusing on one individual.

Could you please clarify who and what this is directed to?

The time it takes to work up to the 6-month ban comes with a lot of space for intervention and reflection. That includes the time to have those challenging conversations, the time you spend developing the action plans, the actual time the person is has been banned, and the times of peace after the ban has been lifted.
Maybe the reset is to provide warning and guidance while they acclimate to the transient Temple culture? I think a few slap on the hands are appropriate as the person readjusts, but if the problems continue to persist after all that provided space, then we seriously need to look at the individual's intent and weigh that against our duty to protect and serve our members and guests.

Perhaps that's the point, but it seems ripe for abusing. Faking until they make it reset, then reverting to the original problem.

A civil conversation with a high level of community interest vs some arbitrary guideline that was made in a vacuum of hypotheticals. Maybe update the guideline?
This is the problem. Every. Single. Time.
Unfortunately, yes. Every single time you use your authority to shut something down or silence someone or to take away someone elses options it is going to bother people. Even when its justified. This really wasnt justified so it bothers people more.

Well, thank you for that. Yet, here we are.

Except that 1) it was you who locked it and 2) now if someone else unlocks it it looks like theyre taking a side against you. I dont really care who unlocks it. The discussion wasnt finished.
Every time we make a decision its not fair. Sorry. Its not going to be perfect .
No one here is asking for perfection, only to be allowed to have a conversation. Is this the reply you gave to the people who wanted Kyrin banned? Did you tell them "TOTJO's not going to be perfect"?
