Other than a tiebreaker for 2 more GB Gurus, the new support groups are here.
Many of you (especially those elected in the support groups) are probably saying “Now What?”. Well, here's what is next.
All members of each support group must meet together and establish a set of rules (which will be posted on each of the forums they support in an announcement) which will govern each of the forums they moderate. Each of the groups rules will better reflect the opinions and values of the people that visit each of the forum groups.
I highly suggest the few, very basic rules when establishing rules:
1) No Flaming
2) Ignore Flamers and Troublemakers. Let the support groups handle them.
3) If you have a problem with someone, contact the members of the support groups.
I'm in the process of adding new features such as buddy lists and the ability to PM a whole group. Therefore the members of the forum can contact support groups when needed.
I'm also working on the ability for support groups to have banning ability. The process of which will be an open discussion.
I wish the new mods/support group members luck. I look forward to positive growth within the community.
