2:52 <TheSpongebobKing> ok
Welcome to the SpongeBob SquarePants chat 
2:56 <AMK152Bot> Internet is being weird
2:57 <TheSpongebobKing> oh
Spongebob456 has joined the chat.
2:58 <Spongebob456> Hey.
JCM has joined the chat. 
2:58 <AMK152Bot> hello
2:58 <TheSpongebobKing>hi everyone
2:58 <Spongebob456> Hey JCM Long time no speak - how's it going? AMK: I asked earlier, but your connection went weird, how's the situation with 120d?
JCM has left the chat. 
2:59 <TheSpongebobKing> he left
3:00 <Spongebob456> Closed the wrong tab >.<
3:00 <AMK152Bot> it appears he realizes the situation is out of hand but I am waiting for the blocking policy to pass
3:00 <Spongebob456> Right, okay.
3:00 <AMK152Bot> I noticed he has not given his opinion on that policy
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:01
<AMK152Bot>
I mean, LEGALLY, 120d is not violating any rules in regards to blocking
welcome back
3:01
JCM
Hmm
3:01
<Spongebob456>
This is dominated by him Special:Log/block
3:01
<AMK152Bot>
so that's why we needed an official blocking policy
3:01
JCM
This chat doesn't work well on mobile
<Mrmarc> has joined the chat. 
3:02
<AMK152Bot>
hello
3:02
<Spongebob456>
He doesn't seem very amicable
3:02
<TheSpongebobKing>
hi
3:02
<AMK152Bot>
Hello <Mrmarc>, we are having a meeting... do you have any ideas as to what we should discuss, if any?
anything wiki related
JCM has left the chat. 
3:03
<TheSpongebobKing>
JCM left.
3:03
<AMK152Bot>
Yeah
3:03
<Mrmarc>
No I'm just lonely
3:03
<TheSpongebobKing>
oh how so?
3:03
<Spongebob456>
Imma have to switch to my tablet soon.
3:03
<TheSpongebobKing>
kk
3:03
<Mrmarc>
I'm bored I guess
3:03
<AMK152Bot>
okay
3:04
<Spongebob456>
<Mrmarc>: Well welcome to chat and feel free to contribute wherever. 
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:04
<AMK152Bot>
I just want to get this situation with 120d settled with, I want this wiki to be in the Wikia spotlight
3:04
JCM
In relation to the blocking policy, we should warn users first before blocking them
3:04
<Spongebob456>
JCM: We know, 120d doesn't.
3:04
<AMK152Bot>
have you see the proposal yet JCM?
3:04
<Mrmarc>
How is the title card for InSPONGEiac even scary?
3:05
<Spongebob456>
AMK: Calzone looked into that, but I'm not sure what came of it.
3:05
<AMK152Bot>
<AW10> and I talked about it, there are some issues we need to settle
SpongeBob SquarePants:Discussions/Blocking policy
of course, we will wait until after the rename
JCM has left the chat. 
3:05
<Spongebob456>
<Mrmarc>: I think it's a bit 'different' to the other title cards it has to be said. It's one of the more 'different' episodes, along side Face Freeze.
3:05
<TheSpongebobKing>
I'm going to go. I'll return at 4 or 5
3:05
<AMK152Bot>
ok
3:05
<Spongebob456>
Ok. Bye.
3:06
<TheSpongebobKing>
i am going to leave the tab open but i won't type
3:06
<AMK152Bot>
ok
3:06
<Mrmarc>
And what about Face Freeze?
3:06
<AMK152Bot>
hold on, need to get my food
be back in 5 min
3:06
<Spongebob456>
Face Freeze is scary >.<
Okay.
3:06
<Mrmarc>
Not for me
I love how Spongebob makes the Forever Alone face though.
3:07
<Spongebob456>
I'm 17 and find it rather odd, it has to be said.
3:08
<Mrmarc>
(he made the Happy Forever Alone face; I should have been more specific) 
3:10
<Spongebob456>
.
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:11
JCM
Where did you get the 14-day block from?
3:12
<Spongebob456>
Is that referring to the blocking policies?
JCM has left the chat. 
3:12
<AMK152Bot>
back
3:13
<Spongebob456>
Okay.
3:13
<Mrmarc>
What are you even talking about?
3:13
<Spongebob456>
This wiki has some new blocking policies being drafted.
3:13
<AMK152Bot>
blocking policy... an admin was abusing the blocking tool
so we had to set some rules
3:14
<Mrmarc>
Oh
Ok
3:15
<Spongebob456>
SpongeBob SquarePants:Discussions/Blocking policy
3:16
<Mrmarc>
NOW can we talk about some episodes?
3:17
<AMK152Bot>
if you want
3:17
<Mrmarc>
I think that I have seen
EVERY
episode
of the show
how 'bout you? 
3:17
<Spongebob456>
Same.
3:18
<Mrmarc>
I haven't seen some in their original form though
Example: The pilot episode had a completely different opening.
3:20
<Spongebob456>
It was only recently I got the pilot episode on DVD.
SBSP's 10 Happiest Moments.

<Spongebob456>
Hi.
3:23
JCM
Hey, AMK, did you say where you got the idea for the 14-day-block from?
The chat froze again without me knowing
JCM has left the chat. 
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:25
<Spongebob456>
o/
3:25
<RandomDSplayer>
What is an o/?
3:26
<Spongebob456>
\o
JCM: Email or message him on his wall
3:27
JCM
I guess three warnings and then a two week block is about as good as one warning and then a one-day block
Of course, it should depend on the rule being broken
3:28
<AMK152Bot>
oops
my internet was being weird
you know, it should say 14 day maximum
JCM has left the chat. 
3:29
<AMK152Bot>
but still three warnings
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:31
<RandomDSplayer>
Hello
3:31
JCM
"Wikia said that a SpongeBob wiki could not be big enough to have it's own wiki. They told me to go to the Nickelodeon Wiki for those purposes."
I think we have more pages than the Nickelodeon Wiki now
3:31
<AMK152Bot>
LOL we showed them
3:32
<Spongebob456>
And this wiki is still growing.
3:32
<AMK152Bot>
I want to know what everyone thinks about having two Twitter accounts, one for Encyclopedia SpongeBobia and one for the network
or just one for the network
JCM has left the chat. 
3:33
<Spongebob456>
I like the two accounts. We can tweet about things only relating to the wiki that way. The wiki is rather a big thing in itself to tweet about.
3:33
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:34
<Spongebob456>
I gave you the dimensions - any ideas as to who will/can work on them?
3:34
<AMK152Bot>
I know that for the network Twitter account would be more SpongeBob stuff, fan oriented...
3:34
<Spongebob456>
Yes.
3:34
<AMK152Bot>
I can work on them or <AW10> could also, we will see when he gets here
JCM, what would the Fanon wiki think about being part of the network?
3:35
JCM
I wouldn't be against the SpongeBob Wiki adopting the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki and just doing a fanon namespace like the Avatar Wiki
3:35
<Spongebob456>
Okay. In terms of what to tweet about - should we play it by ear? I was thinking of a page where users could submit tweets.
3:35
JCM
The fanon wiki is in compete chaos right now
3:35
<AMK152Bot>
really?
Who is in charge?
3:35
JCM
Yes
3:35
<Spongebob456>
JCM I saw that :c
Quite a few COPPA violations I;ve been hearing.
3:36
<AMK152Bot>
oh really
i mean, we have basically been affiliates since the Fanon Wiki started
3:37
<Spongebob456>
In terms of running the account, most wiki twitter accounts have a maximum of two users running them.
3:37
JCM
Ponyo Fan is considered the owner, but I don't think Wikia would merge the wikis without a community consensus
3:37
<RandomDSplayer>
Is there even much action going on over at the fanon wiki?
3:38
<Spongebob456>
That would be a big change merging them.
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
3:38
<Spongebob456>
o/
3:38
<AMK152Bot>
I wouldn't like to MERGE, but to ACQUIRE...
what a wiki needs to not run into chaos is a great team of admins
3:38
<RandomDSplayer>
Hello
3:38
<AMK152Bot>
by my understanding, the Fanon Wiki doesn't have an RAF process?
3:38
<Spongebob456>
Oh, JCM and/or AMK: do you guys have Skype?
JCM has left the chat. 
3:39
<AMK152Bot>
yeah I do
3:39
<Spongebob456>
I was thinking of creating a spongebob wiki Admins skype group
So we can communicate in private.
3:39
<AMK152Bot>
good idea
I haven't spent much time at the Fanon wiki... but if it's in chaos, something needs to be done
3:40
Muchacha
Yo
3:40
<AMK152Bot>
oh JCM left
3:40
Muchacha
Okay.
3:40
<AMK152Bot>
hello Muchacha
3:40
Muchacha
Hello.
3:40
<AMK152Bot>
we are having a meeting... do you have anything that should be discussed?
3:41
<Mrmarc>
Someone sent me this through email. "COME NOW YOU HAVE SECONDS TO ENTER CREDIT CARD DLC OR U DIE FOR $5K" Seriously, what was he talking about?!
3:41
<AMK152Bot>
spam
3:41
<Mrmarc>
I still don't know why he said that
3:42
Muchacha
Well, I think 120d is starting to surrender. When we were talking to him on that thread, he almost completely forgot about blocking.
3:42
<Mrmarc>
Well I did put it in my spam folder
3:42
Muchacha
Until I told Cosmobo on him because he was b and s words on the forum.
3:42
<Mrmarc>
But it found its way into my sense of humor
3:43
Muchacha
I forgot the word "using."
3:43
<Mrmarc>
I still understood you
3:44
Muchacha
Did you see my submission for the Mother's Day background contest?
3:44
<Mrmarc>
No
I don't often check the wiki
Because of

Back already?

<RandomDSplayer>
Hello

spongebob things
3:50
<Spongebob456>
Hey <AW10> - do you have Skype?
3:50
<Mrmarc>
now i'm braindead
3:50
<AW10>
no
3:50
<Spongebob456>
Okay.
<AW10>: I gave AMK the dimensions for the Twitter account logo etc - are you able to draw something up?
3:51
<AMK152Bot>
hello
<Mrmarc> has left the chat. 
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:51
<AMK152Bot>
wb
3:52
Muchacha
Hey, <AW10>, did you see my submission to the Mother's day background contest?
3:52
<Spongebob456>
Thread:98415
3:52
<AW10>
@<Spongebob456> What are the dimensions
3:52
<Spongebob456>
In the thread I linked.
JCM has left the chat. 
3:53
<Spongebob456>
They would use the new name.
The Spongebobia one.
3:53
<AW10>
@Muchacha Yes, but it is not the background material
3:53
<AMK152Bot>
we figured hsaving two accounts would be okay
one for network one for the wiki
3:54
<AW10>
I think I will be able to think something up, but I will need some time.
JCM has joined the chat. 
3:55
<Spongebob456>
That's fine. 
3:56
<AW10>
Andrew, why are you using the bot account?
JCM has left the chat. 
3:56
<AMK152Bot>
because I went back to monobook
3:57
<AW10>
What have made oyu do that? Visual editor wrecking the source code? Slow switching to source code?
3:57
<AMK152Bot>
user interface
Muchacha has left the chat. 
3:57
<AMK152Bot>
I like a wide screen too
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
3:58
<AW10>
For me the biggest problem is editing. Everything else is better on oasis.
3:58
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
3:58
Muchacha
Bye!
3:58
<AMK152Bot>
I use my bot on Safari and my main account on Chrome
Muchacha has left the chat. 
3:58
<AW10>
Therefore, I use oasis and when I do some hard editing taks, I swtich to monobook
3:59
<AMK152Bot>
i just use oasis to see how things look
3:59
<AW10>
However, I always need to clear the browser chache when changing theme.
3:59
<AMK152Bot>
but I guess it doesn't really stop too many new editors
3:59
<AW10>
Yeah
So, what will be the subject of today's meeting?
It has just started
4:00
<AMK152Bot>
current discussions, Twitter, and the network
4:00
<AW10>
Have you checked my additon to blocking policy
4:00
<AMK152Bot>
let me check
oh yes I have
there are a number of minor policy changes I have been keeping an ongoing list for
4:01
<AW10>
Also, I think that every time admin blocks someone, he needs to contact the one he blocked and refere to clauses he/she has broken
4:02
<AMK152Bot>
yes
4:02
<AW10>
So, what with my discussion tempalte proposal then?
4:03
<AMK152Bot>
we can add that to the overall policy changes
expanding the blocking policy I guess, but also add more instructions to discussions policy (such as the template)
4:04
<AW10>
I like that plan
4:05
<Spongebob456>
Got to go.
4:05
<AMK152Bot>
ok
4:05
<Spongebob456>
See you all \o
4:05
<AW10>
bye!
4:05
<AMK152Bot>
I don't know if Dylan will be here
one of the other changes is rather minor, but I will move all definitions to their own section
4:06
<AW10>
great idea, just like an program source code, you first define variables and then use them
4:07
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
so it applies to all and everyone can be on the same page
4:07
<TheSpongebobKing>
Hi
4:07
<AMK152Bot>
hello
okay, current situations
blocking policies and general policy update will soon be passed
4:08
<TheSpongebobKing>
okay
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
4:08
<AMK152Bot>
so we will see how 120d reacts; it seems he might be coming around
wb
4:09
<AW10>
What has been concluded on 120d on the meeting I have missed?
4:09
<AMK152Bot>
we will see if he follows the blocking policy
we just want to get him to start warning people
Muchacha has left the chat. 
4:10
<AMK152Bot>
i might make pre-defined warning templates
I may have done that in the past, like 2007 or 2008
Chao101 has left the chat. 
4:11
<AMK152Bot>
oh, earlier I mentioned the spotlight
and I just thought of this just now
4:11
<AW10>
yes, we need those pre-defined warning template
4:11
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
after the name changes, I am going to create a spotlight "checklist" so we can see what needs to be done
like the one I e-mailed you
TimeClocky has joined the chat. 
4:12
<AW10>
for spotlight, I will wait for the April 25
4:12
TimeClocky
hi
4:13
<AW10>
...and blocking templates are also needed
hello
<TheSpongebobKing> has left the chat. 
4:14
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
then Twitter... I think it would be best to have one for the network and one for ESB
I wish Dylan was here to discuss the network
TimeClocky has left the chat. 
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
4:17
<AW10>
two accounts will be good, but what about my suggestion of request for the operator of twitter account(s)?
and <Spongebob456> in charge for ESB one?
4:18
<AMK152Bot>
yeah we are going to do that, <Spongebob456> said he could manage them
4:18
Muchacha
Looks like my proposal is unanimously passing. Then the rule will officially take effect!
4:18
<AMK152Bot>
yes
4:19
<AW10>
which proposal?
4:19
<AMK152Bot>
transcript one
4:19
Muchacha
Simultaneous dialogs.
4:19
<AMK152Bot>
yeah that ends tonight
4:19
Muchacha
The one that talks about how all dialogue must be deciphered if possible.
4:20
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
4:20
<AW10>
it is intersting to have one discussion ending each day that is left till the anniversary, like some countdown
4:21
<AMK152Bot>
yeah LOL
it just happened that way
4:21
Muchacha
Yeah, it's a coincidencs.
COINCIDENCE
4:21
<AMK152Bot>
we've been proposal crazy in recent months, but it sure has brought more involvement
4:21
<AW10>
@Muchacha Can you comment on quality of my transcripts?
User:<AW10>/transcripts
4:23
Muchacha
I saw them, and you need to work on your grammar, and all the text in brackets looks ripped from the closed captioning. I do like you were more specific, though.
4:23
<AMK152Bot>
upon thinking about this network... I know it's basically you, me, and Dylan leading it... if he doesn't show up, I think we might as well have <Spongebob456> manage both accounts if he wants?
4:23
<AW10>
Yes, I use the closed captioning for the stage directions
4:24
Muchacha
I don't think that's needed. We should all be different.
Muchacha has left the chat. 
4:25
<AMK152Bot>
are you talking about the network twitter account, Muchacha?
oops
4:25
<AW10>
We can, but I think that it needs to be somone who is fammilair with most of the network?
4:25
<AMK152Bot>
I guess Dylan isn't showing up
4:26
<AW10>
He can always ask <Spongebob456> for help with twitter, if he doesn't know how to manage it.
4:26
<AMK152Bot>
there really isn't much to the network, so bringing <Spongebob456> up to date would be easy
I guess the major thing will be to get ESB twitter's up first
4:27
<AW10>
Yeah, but for newtowork twitter, let's first establish it.
4:27
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
4:27
<AW10>
It may took million years, knowing Dyalan and SBU
4:27
<AMK152Bot>
we don't even have a name for the network!
4:27
<AW10>
yes
Muchacha has left the chat. 
4:28
<AMK152Bot>
if Dylan seems to neglect us, we might have to move on without him.... he is FORMER admin at SBC even...
BUT I was thinking about something
4:28
<AW10>
what?
4:29
<AMK152Bot>
well our whole goal with SBU was to create a large SpongeBob fan site
connect fans within a group
of course that didn't work
we relied on Dylan and others at SBC
let's go to private message...
4:30
<AW10>
okay
<Tanhamman> has joined the chat.

hello Tan
Muchacha has joined the chat. 
Muchacha has left the chat. 
4:34
<Tanhamman>
Hello.
So AMK152, do you operate yourself, and your bot?
Or are they separate?
4:35
<AMK152Bot>
yes
I operate them both
4:36
<Tanhamman>
So, the bot, or the human?
Cause, I know the bot can be programmed to do repeat tasks
Nathan.Wong has joined the chat.

4:39
<AMK152Bot>
welcome back
4:39
<Tanhamman>
Hello?
4:39
<AW10>
its human
4:39
Muchacha
Did you get my message?
4:39
<Tanhamman>
Yes
4:39
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
4:39
<Tanhamman>
human ok
that makes sense actually
4:40
<AMK152Bot>
I view monobook on my main account
4:40
<Tanhamman>
OK
I don't need a bot
Yet
4:40
<AMK152Bot>
yeah I just run a program called AutoWikiBrowser
4:40
Muchacha
Quit typing so fast???
4:40
<Tanhamman>
Mabe?
Maybe?
Muchacha has left the chat. 
4:41
<Tanhamman>
I had another account I used for repeat tasks on SpongeBob. (Trival errors like spelling)
I've since retired it, and can't even remember the username.
Anyone here?
4:48
<AW10>
yes, but Andrew and I are in the middle of discussion.
4:49
<Tanhamman>
J
I mean K
4:49
<AMK152Bot>
OKay, back to this meeting
4:49
<AW10>
We will now return
4:50
<AMK152Bot>
Okay, something on transcripts... after we revert them to non-copied versions, I am going to create a project
Project Transcripts or something... make like a contest for contributors to finish all transcripts
maybe even a goal date
4:51
<AW10>
sounds good
4:51
<AMK152Bot>
whoever can finish the most transcripts (which have to be approved) by a certain date will be given an award
4:51
<AW10>
we will also need a goal tracker
4:51
<AMK152Bot>
an award = something higher than a badge
oh! that gives me an idea
4:52
<AW10>
what will be award, for example?
4:52
<Tanhamman>
Something like 1000 pts for a badge
?
4:52
<AMK152Bot>
perhaps
4:52
<Tanhamman>
You got any other ideas? :I

I don't know much about badges... can we manipulate the points?
4:52
<Tanhamman>
I wanna here em!
4:52
<AW10>
By the way, 120d and me are already interested in making transcripts, altought my interest fade.
4:53
<Tanhamman>
No, I don't think we can change badge scores
4:53
<AW10>
I don't think we can manipulate points
4:53
<AMK152Bot>
hopefully we can get others involved
but either like a 1,000 point badge or just a plain old honor
4:53
<Tanhamman>
You can do 10, 50, 100, or 1000
4:53
<AMK152Bot>
people are used to badges... but we could make something that is HIGHER than the badge...
4:53
<AW10>
but, I think we should remove badges and have some other kind of reward, if rewarding contributions are really needed.
people abuse thos badges
4:53
<Tanhamman>
Well only 1 guy, who isn't active, has a 1000 pt badge
4:54
<AMK152Bot>
yeah, I would like to phase out badges in the future
4:54
<Tanhamman>
I don't think that's a good idea
From discussions I've had, many people use badges to track their progress on the wiki, as do I
4:54
<AMK152Bot>
it's an idea we are throwing out there
4:54
<Tanhamman>
OK
Not set in stone i see
4:54
<AMK152Bot>
like, if we can have a BETTER systems, and if it WORKS, then we can replace it... but if not, we keep badges
4:55
<Tanhamman>
I think if we do badges, and then an honor thing (such for transcripts) it'd work good.
Keep badges, and introduce somethin else too.
4:55
<AMK152Bot>
we could call them awards or medals
4:55
<Tanhamman>
Yeah.
People can earn badges for edits
And earn medals for edits we consider higher
4:55
<AMK152Bot>
people are used to badges... but we could make something that is HIGHER than the badge... called "Awards"
for special things
4:56
<Tanhamman>
Yes.
4:56
<AMK152Bot>
one thing I have even considered is a monthly contributor award (Employee of the Month award!)
4:56
<Tanhamman>
Something even higher than "Bashing Bumper Cars"?
I like it!
<Survivor321> has joined the chat. 
4:56
<AMK152Bot>
hello Survivor
4:56
<Tanhamman>
Wait, a monthly award?
Isn't that daily badges?
4:56
<AW10>
the biggest award for me will be someone actually seeing something I have build, like credits
4:56
<Tanhamman>
Like 5 days, 14, 30, 60, 100, 200, 365?
4:57
<Survivor321>
Hello
4:57
<Tanhamman>
Sounds… good
4:57
<AW10>
hello Eye of the tiger
4:57
<Tanhamman>
Heeeeey
4:57
<AMK152Bot>
like a contributor of the month... I can come up with something.... but something that the community can discuss and specifically honor certain contributions
4:58
<Tanhamman>
Oh, like an employee of the month in real life
It's good.
Just 1 person, or more?
4:58
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
1 per month
4:58
<Tanhamman>
Can earn it i mean
I think since many of us use it, perhaps we have 2 or 3.
Then more people can make better helpful edits
4:58
<AW10>
yes, employee of the mounh is good
and it should promoted on the main page for [x] days
4:59
<Tanhamman>
Yes, do you like 1 person or 2-3.
4:59
<AMK152Bot>
yes
1 is good
4:59
<AW10>
however, how we will define who is employee of the mounth?
4:59
<Tanhamman>
That's hard
120d edits a ton
Then others may get weeded out by edits
4:59
<AMK152Bot>
not based on edits
5:00
<Tanhamman>
OK, by what then?
5:00
<AW10>
quality over quantity
5:00
<AMK152Bot>
contributions
exactly
5:00
<Tanhamman>
OK.
Give me an example, if possible
5:01
<AMK152Bot>
like if someone greatly improved an article or series of articles
5:01
<AW10>
adding categories < sorting out trivia section < writing a plot < writing a transcript
5:01
<AMK152Bot>
or if someone continuously helps with new editors
exactly
5:01
<Tanhamman>
Well, then there'd be lots of candidates
How to pick?
That is m;y next question
5:02
<AMK152Bot>
a discussion would be set up
5:02
<Tanhamman>
Ok
Like a proposal?
5:02
<AMK152Bot>
yeah
er, more like an admin request
but basically yeah
I can write up a proposal to establish such a system
anything else to say about "Awards"?
5:03
<AW10>
how about we reduce the number of people to chosse by having a user group that wants emplyee of the mounth
5:03
<Tanhamman>
So someone may ask?
OK
I love <AW10>'s idea
5:03
<AW10>
and can we create extra user group?
so it can be offical
5:04
<AMK152Bot>
should this be an admin-only discussion?
5:04
<Tanhamman>
Yes, and yes
We need a user group category (Users who are wanting employee of the month)
OH, BTW, should it be posted on the home page?
5:04
<AMK152Bot>
no, no one should request themselve to have an award
5:04
<Tanhamman>
THIS USER IS EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
No, requests are bad.
5:05
<AW10>
@<Tanhamman> is it possible to creat
5:05
<Tanhamman>
Maybe
5:05
<AW10>
yes, it is bad
5:06
<Tanhamman>
I think if we create a comities, like you guys, and all the Admins, and Crats, then we can vote at the end of every month.
5:06
<AMK152Bot>
nominations
5:06
<Tanhamman>
We come together on a certain day, at a certain point in the month, and then cast a pool on who should get the award
5:06
<AW10>
only if you think on requesting to be in the group, that's tho only request I think is needed
5:06
<Tanhamman>
What do you mean by that?
Exactly?
5:07
<AW10>
altough the poll, bot pool is a good idea
5:07
<AMK152Bot>
nominations could be submitted privately
5:07
<Tanhamman>
Yea. Pool together like 20 users, review, prenote, and then decide.
After deciding we denote on what we did.
IE. This guy is good.
He gets picked
Denote, by talking about how we disucssed
5:07
<AW10>
not*
5:07
<Tanhamman>
He is the winner
I don't know.
Howefver, if we have an entirrely new page, that is protected so only Admins and up can edit it, I think that would work as a database
5:08
<AW10>
hwo about we organize something like elections in real life
it is private
5:09
<AMK152Bot>
should nominations be private?
should only admins be allowed to nominate?
5:10
<AW10>
yes, a poll that everyone can click; like the one we have on a main page
howevr, I think it can be manipulated
5:10
<AMK152Bot>
yes it can
5:10
<AW10>
everyone
should niminate
5:10
<Tanhamman>
It can be screwed with, and hard to do.
We could make a seperate wiki for it?
5:11
<AMK152Bot>
<AW10> how much longer can you chat?
JCM has joined the chat. 
5:11
<AW10>
the separate wiki can't be for a function of another wiki
5:11
<AMK152Bot>
it must be getting late for you
5:11
<Tanhamman>
That's right
both I mean
5:12
<AW10>
I am not tired and I had a rest before th emeeting, so for a long time
5:12
<AMK152Bot>
I am at my grandparents and I am going home... I won't have internet for 20 minutes... but I will be back
5:12
JCM
Have Dylan or Nuggets come on yet?
5:12
<AMK152Bot>
not yet JCM
5:12
<Tanhamman>
Well, let me know on my message wall what you guys come to decide, and we can go from here.
Bye now.
5:12
<AMK152Bot>
but I am going to leave for 20 minutes, I will be back
5:12
<AW10>
altough, I will need to move to another room now
so bye for now
5:12
<AMK152Bot>
ok
