Mod Minutes 12-2-17

in #minnowsupport7 years ago (edited)

The Minnow Support Project runs weekly meetings between witnesses and the moderators to determine tactical and strategic approaches to meeting the needs of the public Discord community. Committees formed around a variety of central tasks and the group works to fulfill the charter: Spread the values of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty, help Steem grow, and train and retain new members (minnows) on the platform.

In attendance: Aggroed, Ausbitbank, Discordiant, FollowBTCNews, Isaria, KubbyElizabeth, Ma1neEvent, Teamsteem, R0nd0n, Crimsonclad, neoxian, Juliakponsford


Witness Application Discussion

Motion to Suspend the rules for witness applications during December so we can vote at each mod meeting.
Motion passed
We will accept applications on a rolling basis and vote on them during each mod meeting in December.
Starting in January we will change to voting only during the first mod meeting of each month.

Minnow Support is dropping all witnesses who have not put in an application for now

Aggroed may Proxy to Minnow Support and requesting that others do as well


Witness application voting:

Aggroed- voted yes
Swelker101- voted yes
MarkyMark- voted yes
PRC- voted yes
Cloh76- vote postponed
FollowBTCnews- voted yes


Prophet - removing vote and taking his name off the server as he hasn't been seen for months.

Teamsteem has expressed concerns that Aggroed’s proxy to Minnow Support could be political and suggests copying @minnowsupport votes to the best of his ability.

Isaria, Ausbitbank, and Disco then suggest that Aggroed wait a month before proxying to Minnow Support

Teamsteem says we shouldn’t rush this process

Aggroed says he will wait till January to potentially proxy to Minnow Support


Committees

Finance - will update next week

HR - will update next week

Curation - Aggroed will be starting the MSP-curation account soon

Abuse- Discordiant said The Silence Falls channel has pinned posts with commands and lists of ban reasons.
Discordiant advised that the Blacklist records are now formatted and being tracked for stats. To this end the document is now only changeable by the bot in Discord and that all additions to it need to have a correctly formatted reason.

Discordiant suggested that every moderator who has access to TheSilence bot should feel free to add any account to the Blacklist they feel needs to be there, regardless of if they are currently an active minnowsupport user. This will allow future sharing of the list to be the most effective.


Various Points of Discussion

Discordiant motions for Mainevent to regular mod
Motion passed

Voted to shorten the length of the minnow support comment

Ron asked us to remove people from the jukebox room when they are sitting in there deafened so that it doesn’t use so much of his bandwidth
