I'm not joking, Zireael. There really is an "Undo" command. Right-click your mouse and you'll see, or simply press ctrl+z. |

I appreciate sentiment, Tremaine, but between myself and Wooly, I feel that we're countering any particular problems that arise within a sufficient time-span.
After all, I'm checking in just about every hour of the day [sometimes more so] except for the five or so hours I'm sleep. And during my time of absence, Wooly's usually checking in because its still daytime in the US, during my night-period. Then we switch... I'm active here while he's usually visiting the sleepy realm.
In other words, there's always one Moderator [though, sometimes both of us will be here at the same time] here once every hour during one twenty-four hour day. |

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I suggest the each avatar on the list be used only ONCE. Sometimes several scribes use the same avatar at the same time, which oft leads to confusion...I myself at times get confused who says what, specially if three to four scribes who use the same avatar post in the same thread. |

As I recall, a very slight number of avatars [and, I think, only some of those I've submitted over the years] are actually restricted to either myself or other Mods. Alaundo once toyed with the idea of extending that to some other avatars as well.
However, we all eventually agreed that it was somewhat unfair to bar new scribes from accessing those avatar images that they might like, simply because they joined later than other scribes who had already selected those images.
And that's a policy I agree with. Sure, it can be confusing to tell scribes apart, especially if you're only glancing at their avatar images, but that's also why we have usernames as well. |

To regulate who uses what avatar seems rather control freakish to me.

But it's a whole lot easier to tell the scribes apart just by their avatars, specially if they're posting in the same threads. It's more conspicuous.

We usually reserve the Adventuring shelf for OOC chatter -- regardless of whether it is Candlekeep Inn-based or PBEM games.

Candlekeep has always been above such concerns of "popularity."
In fact, we often pride ourselves on being a site that values each and every contribution equally. And I prefer that it remain that way.

| Agree with The Sage here, the "old flavour" Candlekeep smells is one of the reasons that make it so appealing, that and the layer if you ask me |

Well met
On this point, I must say i've been quite surprised on the number of emails and feedback submissions over the past few months (maybe sparked by recent talk of Candlekeep v2.0) of scribes stating how they like the current old-school format of Candlekeep and don't wish it to change!

| Although I understand that it very much opposes the learned spirit of Candlekeep, I would like to suggest implementing some kind of ignore/block/filter feature. Sometimes my tolerance for the tenacious old trolls who regularly harass the scribes is somewhat less than that of the moderators, I wouldn't mind an option to simply dispel their posturing and antagonistic ramblings so that my time studying Realmslore is not as often disrupted by their irrelevant confrontations. |

I suggeted the same. But Sage [or was it Wooly?] said it would create instead of solve potential problems. Right, Sage? |

Sort of. My main issue with this proposal, is that I don't like the notion of being so discriminatory with what scribes have to say at Candlekeep.
This site works best with as little needed oversight as possible. I'm not comfortable with the idea of making such an ignore-function readily available.
I'll grant that it can be very useful in some instances, but it also has the potential to be abused by those who just like causing as much antagonism here as possible. And with these antagonists simply choosing to ignore certain scribes, it may end up causing more disruption that it solves. |

I perfectly understand that. I'm actually [surprisingly] now good at ignoring certain scribes I had "history" with. Besides, I believe that indifference "hurts" or teaches a lesson more than hate does. I'm sick and tired of inflammatory responses. I immediately know which posts to ignore upon seeing the names of the posters.
I ignore a number of people, mostly criminals that no prison would welcome, who are bleeding to death and pleading me [or my dad] for mercy. If I could do that, heck, ignoring some people from an online community is way easier.
I visit Candlekeep not to look for fights---I have a lot of those in my line of work. I visit CK because I want to share what I know of the Realms, express my love and, at times, disappointment, and learn from what my fellow scribes know that I happen to be not so knowledgeable about. Life is too short to dwell on hate and bitterness. [That's my motto, ever since accepting my dad's legacy.] |

Honestly, this doesn't surprise me... and I would consider myself to be in that group as well. I think that a few small tweaks are all that are needed. Honestly, I've liked Facebook less with each new overhaul, and what they (FB) did with messaging (doing away with separate thread titles) in their last revamp was just plain st*pid. I hate using that word; that's why I've censored it. Anyway, I think I've made all (3 or 4) suggestions I can think of already, so just keep it running! |

Hail, Alaundo ... I request a feature.
There is no REPLY button in the PM boxes, and thus no helpful provision for quoting text as well, at least none I could see. This trivial oversight can be slightly bothersome, I'd much rather click one lazy button than manually insert [format] clipboarded text when sending a "new" PM in response. Just sayin' |

| *Blink* I just opened PM in different window. What I see above a saved PM the following: a button to Receive, a button to Reply, a button to Forward and a button to Delete. On my screen the buttons are right justified. |

What do you want to see on the Candlekeep site?
