Moderation suggestion: the obligatory Murphy topics

(1/3) > >>

Serack:
In 4 and a half weeks the forum is going to... erupt with discussion.

Water is wet.  There will be discussions about Murphy's role in the DF.  There will be people with opposing opinions.  Anddddd, these opposing opinons will feel the need to "convince" each other of their opinions veracity.

My suggestion is that we implement a Murphy topic specific policy that is closer to what we have in the Bar sections than the DF sections where A) There is one topic dedicated to discussing Murphy.  New topics generated get spliced into it or locked.  B) It has a shorter (1 month) rollover/lock out time than the rest of the spoilers section. (B would require mod activity)

Furthering the suggestion, if this policy were to start Tuesday, 4 weeks later would be the release day and the fresh installment would be due to start on release day.

The OP of the topic could be something along the lines of:


--- Quote ---Murphy's role in the Dresden Files:
This topic has historically been quite contentious.  Discussion of it is encouraged but it is required to be contained within this topic.  After 30 days, this topic will be closed and a new version will be generated.

Just as in every aspect of our forums, respect is manditory.  Do not allow frustration over differing views to allow you to neglect this rule.

narphoenix:
Yes. Yesyesyes. YEEEEEEEEES. Please YES. Murphy has gotten out of hand in discussions, and you seem to be implying that it's only going to get worse. So,

YEEEEEEEEEES.

Serack:
Overall posting volume will be extremely high after the release. 

Quantus:
I want to second this suggestion.  The latest sample chapter has already stirred up the Murphy Pot, and it might be a good idea to set it up before the posting explosion next week.

Mith:
third vote for "aye"
