Forum:Reporting/Discussion Center

Hi, all! To start, thank you Menara and Sayu. A month ago, give or take a few days, Hermione and I jointly decided to propose a place where users could discuss and report certain issues going around the wiki. Because of all the administrators within this month, only two have answered Hermione and I, I've decided to open it to a more general audience to receive a larger scope of opinions. In a more detailed manner, the proposal goes as followed:


 * There is quite the breakdown in communication between the users and admins in a collective manner. Much of the accomplished material that has been completed and in effect on the wiki is through only a few users consent whether they're administrators or not. It is also accomplished through administrator meetings which are extremely different to organize just through the fact that we have prior commitments and that's most definitely not our fault, but it still makes it difficult to collectively talk with all the administrators. As well as with discussions, user reporting specific issues that need attending by the administrators do not know when any of us are online, thus they really aren't aware of who to approach on said manner. Often, administrators check each others' talk pages and handle that issue. It's a very scrambled system so thus the implementation of a reporting/discussion center. Call it what you wish, the purpose of it is to centralize discussions and reports so that all administrators and users can view it at their will on their time. Issues needing to be reported would not go to individual administrators, but rather this reporting center so that any administrator that is online can look at it and easily complete the report as well as notifying other administrators that the report has been handled. It would also be a place for discussion as forums, such as this, are often underused and often forgotten. Blogs on certain topics are often put in the shadows due to much more interesting debates such as The Mark of Athena discussion or The Son of Sobek conversations. If we can work together to pull this through, it could be used by all users on the wiki and really allow communication throughout.

It really is honestly a nuisance to try to track down all the administrators and try and get them together for at least fifteen minutes to discuss and decide something as well as users trying to find an administrator online to deal with a problem. Please comment, thanks. Kind regards, 04:00, May 5, 2013 (UTC)
