[b]Reform #2: Lieutenants[/b] As was stated before, A lieutenant is one who upholds the rules of the dojo. They have to ensure order, fairness and of course Fun within the digital dojo. BUT in our goal to achieve these things we have kind of just caused the opposite(Much like the rise of communism in China, as soon as you want something you somehow become the opposite of it). SO. It's hard to be a lieutenant with such a broken rule system, which we aim to fix, but I'm more wanting to talk about solving problems as a lieutenant. Lately we have just been using banning as a solution. It's...a very lazy solution. For reasons that honestly were not necessary. We mainly did it because we did not have time IRL to really think over solutions. This is completely unacceptable. Banning should be treated like a death sentence. It's the LAST RESORT. Not the first. This will always be implemented and you will find that if you screw up, you will have more freedom still in the future. Instead of being banned immediately. Also, some have called for a complete change in the lieutenants....Ya...so me. And while ya, it's a dick move I'm not really listening to that, it's still a valid point. The lieutenants just haven't been acting how they should. And that's why we aim to change that. For now though. In the past day. We've taken on two lieutenants. The first is probably one of the most respected members in the community. His attention to key detail and his calm level headed Canadian nature made him an obvious choice. And in fact, the lieutenants have been eyeing him for around a month now. I would like to congratulate JT on becoming our latest lieutenant, and I know we can do some kick ass things in the future. And the second? Well...this one may seem strange to you. But to me this was, in a sense, my first regret. He represents the CHAOS of the dojo. The randomness, the freedom to post crazy shit and just roll with it. He's one for the old ways, and from the past few days we clearly need that. Either way he's back, and he's shown that he's willing to do a whole lot for this place. I would like to welcome Sargentubbs back, as a lieutenant of the dojo.
