Morning everyone from my corner of the world.
I know it might seem redundant now, however, if I may, I'd like to say a few words on this matter. Keeping in mind that
I am not saying this as an admin, but as Nessa the Gondorian member of he Plaza who writes "Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears for in this essay I shall..." OOC posts.
Sometimes all of us get swept in the enthusiasm, joy, energy of other people writing and creating wirh us and we want to keep that atmosphere going by being as creative as we can and opening up more avenues to create beautiful, awesome, funny etc. things. And in that mood we might not think things through properly because we want to keep going.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
However, I would like to stress (as I and many have said before) that there is no rush with opening threads or writing posts or anything really. This is the Plaza, not an emergency service in the hospital.
There is literally here RP wise that cannot wait for a few hours. So even if you get swept up in the enthusiasm or spring cleaning atmosphere (I get that feeling too you know
) there's no need to rush into anything.
Concerning ideas and taking over treads,
@Moriel quoted the relevant section. Sometimes people are not aware who creates the description in the OP of a thread or don't know how to contact the TR of a thread they would like to revamp. That's totally fine and not an issue. We can't know everyone and everything. That's why asking and enquiring is crucial. If you don't know ask. There are no stupid questions and you are not required to know everything, but ask and other people will pitch in and help. In my experience whenever I wasn't sure what to do I asked (go ahead you can groan about my endless questions about any idea I had
) and everyone who could pitched in. By asking for clarification or help when you're unsure you get all the information you need and things end up running smoother.
This brings me to the last point I wanted to make regarding any thread in general. In my experience and humble opinion a thing works best if you take the time to think it through. In the case of a thread that means it's purpose, the way you craft the opening post, the rules you want the thread to have and of course giving credit where credit is due.
And you avoid the constant edits because you forgot to put something...
I'm not saying this to criticise anyone or their work or discourage anyone from opening a thead or to say things should be done in a certain way. I just want to, in good faith, share some of my musings, experiences and advices/things that helped me.
So I hope you'll take this rambling post in the spirit that ir was intended and I hope that what I said was helpful.
P.S. I hope you're all alive after reading this
