*knocks on door*

Yes I am still here.

Read the announcement post to see more details.

Nominates section as easiest section to manage in VeX
Yeah it used to be a tuff task to handle all MP issues, but no more conflicts ever arise, that we know of. Wonder how many new members actually know what the IA section is for... Do we need to educate members on the usage of the IA section?

I wouldnt say thats needed right now.

Remember when we talked about this some time ago ? We said that one member in each section could take care about this kind of matter...like a MP-junior or something.

I think we were talking about how we need an 'MP' in each section that knew the environment and conditions of the section.

I'm glad to see discussion has returned here. You have both brought up some interesting points and questions. To keep this discussion going, I'm going to throw my gas on the fire. It's not set in stone, I'm just discussing things.

First, I think this section is not as active as you may have suspected probably because the majority of VeX cannot get in here. That is by design as we expected reports of MP violations to trickle up to us via email.

You also pointed out that we don't have any such reports any more. I think it's not so much that we have imposters that we don't know about. I think the lack of reports is due to the lack of recruiting. If we don't recruit, we don't have imposters, now do we? :wink:

Do all VeX members need to know about this section and what it's for? I would have to agree with Diablo, that's not needed right now. We should start by defining what the differences are between IA vs. MP vs. ex/Vex. We combined these all for the reason that we didn't need all the different sub sections. If we need them again (after we start recruiting again) then we will break them out of "storage" imo. In the future, each section should have an IA representative.

I also think a lot of the demand to get into this section is coming from VeX not understanding the difference between the ex-VeX webpage and this board. We could solve that problem by changing the title of this board and putting some text blurb explaination about what this section is. It would not be hard and it would fix the problems you mentioned.

All in all, access to this board should be given on a case-by-case basis. You have to tell me who's asking and we will discuss that person's entrance to the board.

There is way to many topics, so it get's bigger and bigger, and people can't just come on here... and talk in one topic area... i think we need to get rid of topics that have been dead since last year or so, and We should just clean things up a bit. Make it neater, and easier to move around in the forum and find what you want. I'm now an active member, I play CSS and i use my gamer tag, just no one ever talks to me about if we want to play. I think we should try to make either a CSS Section, OR a section for Jedi Academy... I'm willing to send ISO images over the internet if you need them. Ya I know... Illegal, but stores don't sell that game anymore, especially around here. So Tell me what you guys think I should, and what we can do as a group, and let's work this out.

Leo, the problem with just removing all threads is that are out of date is that some threads contain useful information. We can do an archive of all old threads. I might present this feature to the rest later tonight... or tomorrow.

I can see the need for an ex-VeX section, but there is hardly a need for an MP Section when there is no one to police over (As lix said), or even with such a small population.Atleast as long as I've been in VeX (Since '03 I believe) there were no imposters and no real problems that would require an MP.To me personally we dont even play games where being an imposter may be beneficial to even the people who are doing it.

Just my 2 cents...but having an ex-VeX section would be very cool, although only a few people would recognize any of the names on the list.

The MP position and ex-VeX section was needed when Outwars was active and the main game for VeX.

MP is basically unneeded for things such as impostORs. They can still be a center point as sort of liason for internal affairs type stuff which includes discipline albeit rare.

Internal Affairs-
"It is headed by the MP Section and includes all diplomatic concerns of VeX. It also is an organized center for the archiving of information related to the clan."

So it is still appropriate however much less funtional.

take a look at the old IA pages. http://www.vexclan.com/ia/
