User blog:LittleRedCrazyHood/Sorting and Stores Department Meeting - 09/23/13

The Sorting and Stores Department had a meeting that started September 23, 2013 and is currently ongoing. Most of out topics are currently settled, and agreed upon by all, so I thought that the sooner the implemented, the better. We had this meeting the way that TheFlyingFoot had the last S&S Meeting, so I'd just like to give credit to him. Other members of the administration can express their thoughts about these things in the comments.

Usernames in Sorting Forums Suggested by Lissyboo



Since when one is done sorting a character, they have to leave a message on a user's talk page, we thought this would be a good idea. At the top of a sorting forum, there will be a place for users to put their username, as you can see in the picture above. This way, we wouldn't need to go to history to get to the user's talk page.

Template Page Suggested by Madeyefire

Madeyefire mentioned that sometimes it's hard to find templates for sorting characters, and that we could put it all on one page. Now, we have the template page, and along with the list of templates, are their coding.

Summer Employees

Since there's been a bit of confusion about the age of summer employees, the S&S Department agreed on 15 or 14, depending on their birthday. Peislandgal suggested that perhaps exceptions can be made, such as if their parents own the shop, however you need to inform an admin or member of the department first.

If a person younger than the specified age is working in a shop, as an exception, then they shouldn't be too much work, but something small such as (suggested by Madeyefire) bagging stuff. Still, this is discouraged because I don't think we want a bunch of eleven year olds working in Diagon Alley.

Exotic Characters Suggested by Jiskran

Exotic characters would be veela, vampires, werewolves, metamorphmagi, seers and the likes, also, part (half, one fourth, etc.) counts. Characters with extremely special skills are also considered exotic.

When making a Sorting forum, please specify under the "special abilities" section that your character is exotic. If you add the exotic part of your character after it was approved, we will give you a warning to change it back.

As suggested by Jiskran, and agreed upon by the department, a user's first two characters cannot be exotic. We are doing this in order to get users used to RPing "normal" characters, so that they won't make so much of them in the future.

Finally, (also suggested by Jiskran) we agreed that the maximum number of exotic characters a user can have is six, or 40% of that user's characters, whichever is lower.

We still have one more idea in process, (Ghost Roster, suggested by Gruff), but we're still talking about it. It will be added here at a later time. Remember, if anyone has anything to say about these things, please leave your remarks on the comments below, it will be appreciated.
