We're all patiently awaiting the advent of Proboards V5, and its lovely options that will make Jenta easier to organize. (Sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-boards, ho!) But until that happens, the Admin staff is going to be rearranging the site sporadically, and making the Rather patchy and confusing areas of navigation easier for the new members/people who haven't been on since before Tejan was added.
So, what have we done so far?
1. Gathered most of the rules pertaining to the various boards in the Rules and terms thread.
2. Put all the applications for the main regions into special sub-boards in the "Applications" main board.
3. Modified the post for Mainland Jenta's Rules to contain ALL information/rules that we shall be observing on Mainland Jenta.
4. A guide to how to get started on the site.
What will we still be doing? This is less clear. We still have a lot of stuff to work out that we don't know how we're going to do it. So far, we have confirmed:
1. Compiling all region rules into one thread
2. Having individual rule threads under each region main board
---> Will these two rules mean that there is going to be redundancies in the rule threads? Yes. However, we're at the point where Jenta is too large to manage any other way. Basically, we'd rather there was very little chance of missing a rule and then getting the person who missed that rule yelled at by the admins for their ignorance. Besides, long time players on Jenta know that the mods have serious issues with the crappy posters, and we want to emphasize that this really isn't the place for you if all you can type is leet.
3. Making all main region applications have a home in the applications board.
4. Giving each individual application a place in it's regions main board.
---> Redundant a bit? Yes, but for the same reason as we're making the rules redundant. We don't want anyone to miss anything.
5. Updating the guide to how to get around Jenta's Regions and mini-regions.
Some things we that are still debating doing:
1. Making Miteinjan a Main Region for Mid-level RPers. Problem: How do you define mid level? We would like to put Miteinjan as a Main Region, just because the difference between the Main and the Mini-Regions would be who controls/does the modding for them. Main Regions would be modded by the Jentan Site Admin Team. You know, the guys who have their names in the little News Board on every page. Mini-regions are controlled by a single mod, and only that mod.
2. Deleting the characters that are in-active. Basically, why are you here, if you're not updating your threads? This is dicey, since a lot of players went inactive when the mods did.
3. Possibly making Applications Subboards for the Mini-Regions as well as the main regions, but the applicants to the minis haven't developed 20+ members. With the subboards placed under the main info for the boards this looks large and sloppy once more than 20 members appear.
Anyway, your thoughts, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated in the comment box.
And please note: I and Ninetails are the only mods who have time right now to mod, and our time is not limitless. I have exams I need to correct, and classes to prepare. So I will only be regularly updating in Tejan and Jenta. Miteinjan and Desipil are only maybemaybe going to be updated in this time frame, and as for the "Other" RPs that I'm managing, they are on the lowest rung on the ladder. Whine at me, and I'm going to officially shun your threads.
