General Questions and Discussion / Recent events and policies we'd like to discuss
« on: October 31, 2007, 10:27:41 PM »
I was actually scared to post here, for fear that I might just suddenly throw a bitching fit, but I feel that I need to throw in my two cents here. I'm posting as a fellow FL owner and board member.
1.) About the General Discussions; I can't remember who actually brought this up, but I agree. The Senior Staff are the best to answer these questions, even if the topics were supposed to be opened to forum members to express their opinions. If they get to it first, who are we to bitch about them closing the topic, even if the answer they give is straightforward and answer the question? Although I feel that it might help, if you post a line at the top saying like
It actually shows that even though you appreciate the Senior Staff actually taking the time to respond, it's a way of politely asking not to close the thread and open it to others for discussion. I'm not sure if this makes sense to any of you, since this is purely from my own personal experience.
2.) Non-TAFL fanlistings pimping; I'm on the fence for this. I feel that if the FL subject has a close connection with anime/manga, like BLEACH/Naruto/FMA games, it should be allowed. Even though it is a game, it was derived from an anime. This is just my opinion though. Similarly for adoption posts, I feel some leeway should be given as well for items closely connected with anime/manga.
3.) Off-topic Chit Chat; I'm quite content with the Off-topic Chit Chat forum now. Even though the Your Mood thread is gone, TAFL-ers are bonding over the awesome "Threads of Doom" started by Mitz, Rose and Espo. (And possibly more to come?) That's all I can ask for, since I'm making good friends on there as well.
4.) Upcoming/Pendings; I'm actually on the side of more upcomings and pendings allotted. I understand that it is difficult for the staffers to approve fanlistings or remove troubled fanlistings regularly, since they all have a life, and honestly, who doesn't? But with all the approvals coming in at the same time, and the chance to run a fanlisting that you love to death is gone because some other approvals came in first is rather unfair. I'd suggest changing it to 8 upcoming and 5 pending, but I also understand about the "collectors".
5.) The codes rule has been touched on many times, therefore I'll not mention it again.
6.) <4 relationships; Forgive me if I'm wrong, aren't teams approvable? Like from Naruto, Team 7, 8, 10 and Gai? And the divisions in BLEACH? Like 10th Division, 3rd Division etc. etc? I'm not very clear about this, but like Puff mentioned, maybe they can be approvable if the relationship was fully explained.
7.) Democracy?; The staff work for us, the members of TAFL. I think they deserve to run the network, sine all they're doing is just making sure that we get along fine, the board doesn't become spammy and there is no general malice on the network.
8.) Bias; Honestly? I feel it's rather childish and immature to actually throw a tantrum over getting rejected and for thinking that there is biasness on the network. If you actually read the rejection emails, you'll see that the staffers are making sure that the fanlistings go to the best home possible. They are doing their best to do something to benefit the fanlistings community, and you guys throw it back in their faces.
I'm sorry if I'm being a bit out of hand here, but this is my opinion and what I feel.

I would like this to be open for discussion with the other members, thanks!
