Yes, Alandriel. Prim PM'd me about a rewrite of the Archive sticky and I'm going to post it right here for review.
I think that "Summaries of Past Hearings" might be the best description for the Archive because the actual threads will not go there, and Voronwe set a nice precedent by summarizing the whole case in the first entry there.
New Sticky:
WHAT IS THE ARCHIVE?
This is a
Read Only Forum.
The threads in this forum contain discussions or decisions from Hearings which jurors wanted to preserve for future reference. You may refer to the threads in this forum at any time during jury duty, to see how previous jurors may have handled similar problems.
If you are a juror charged with creating a thread in this forum:
1. Contact an admin to enable your user i.d. for posting. A list of current admins and contact info is given below.
2.
Please title the thread so that future jurors will know what the issue is about. For example: Juror Backed Out in Middle of Arbitration .... or Poster Sent Obscene Email to Juror ... do
not title the thread with the names of members involved in the Hearing.
3. When you and your fellow jurors have decided what information from the Hearing should be preserved, either summarize the issue or cut and past text from the Hearing thread into your post. In all cases provide the
dates of the Hearing, the
reason for the Hearing, and the
decision of the jury.
Edit the names of the posters involved so that they are identified as poster #1, poster #2, witness #3, etc. to preserve their anonymity. Jurors may be identified by name. Be as thorough as you need to be for the summary to be understandable, because the original thread might be deleted at the request of those members involved.
4. Notify the admin when you are done.
Thank you for your service as a juror and for taking the time and effort to help future jurors by creating a thread in the Archive.
