Proposal: Series of Tubes

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 17 Nov 2016 11:34:43 UTC

In the Rule “Restoration of the Hours”, change:

anywhere on the internet

to

anywhere on the Web

 

This will help with verifiability. Then again, there’s is nothing stopping a Predecessor from posting it then deleting it.

Note: Should be the World Wide Web, not just “the Web”?

against Email and IRC seem fine. Maybe this should explicitly become a subjective “to the Emperor’s satisfaction”, as we’ve no way of proving that a particular human is genuinely a particular, historical BlogNomic player.

Personally, I think this whole concept needs to be dropped. We’re chasing a rabbit that can’t be caught. Vouching should be reserved to BlogNomic itself.

I like the idea that old players can just wave hello without any great effort. Demanding a login would make it easier to process, but at the cost of removing some of those hellos, which I’m not sure is worth it.

I just doubt we’re going to get players who are not willing to log in but still want to tweet. Maybe I’m wrong.

against Per Kevan’s suggestion.

Also because it’s too late for the clarifying edit to WWW, and I’m leery about simply “The Web”.

(Also I have a few people I could probably get to wave but maybe not bother logging in, I dunno.)

s/k against Agree with southpointingchariot about needing to drop the ability of external vouching and instead limit it to BlogNomic.

As a caveat, I was required to create a new login for the site not because of forgetting credentials but rather, a new system is now being used in BlogNomic from when I went in hiatus (around Dynasty 1X when I had but one ‘t’). This might also be problematic for others that surface from that era.
