Here I am. I have no idea how to do anything and I have just glanced at the "Rangers Guide" which made me feel like running screaming into the hills.

Splitting threads? Changing permissions? Software? Wha...? I have no clue.

I will read everything this weekend - hopefully all hell doesn't break loose before I figure out how to even change a rank.

We can walk you through it. Also, you can practice your powers on detail_oriented and agraagaah. They're dummy accounts created just for that purpose.

Okay...as I just posted in another thread, I really am at sea here. It seems like a lot to learn in a very short time.

Don't worry, you really do have plenty of time to learn it. :) I haven't even changed a rank yet this term, because someone else always gets to it before me. I think I locked one thread and that was it. There is really very little to do.

I'm taking off guys. Gone to Ecuador. I'll be back late at night Feb. 8. Until then, I'm effectively out of internet range.

Jealous! :) Have a great time. Now maybe I'll actually be able to change a rank or two! Haha.

Popping in briefly. I´m in Quito right now but tomorrow I head out for Cayambe, followed by Cotopaxi. In true River form, I am going to a fabulously diverse country to look at nothing but big snowy mountains (and climb thenm). :P

Just got a PM from C_G complaining about s_f breaking "the rule" where they are not supposed to respond to each other directly.

I have to say, I think s_f has gone across the line more than once. What is the penalty supposed to be?

He's actually crossed it twice in the past three days. I just banned him for a week.

I got your PM River. I honestly didn't know there were rules for those two but go B77 for creating them!

It's been around for a while, actually. They can't get along, can't stay away from each other, and can't keep it contained. :neutral:

It's about time there were rules since being civil around one another isn't an option. I trust you handled the matter approriately.

Lidless made a post in the Symp that was a verbatim quote from another source (in this case, Wikipedia.) He didn't make any indication that the words were not his - he just posted it as if they were his own words.

I only caught it because I had recently looked up that very topic on Wiki and it sounded familiar.

There is no specific language against doing this, but I think it should be obvious that if one is quoting directly from another source, you inform the reader and cite the source. Otherwise, it seems to be blatant plagiarism.

I cited the source and made mention of this...but I wonder if we should be more specific about this kind of thing. It's not the first time Lidless has done this...and last time he did it and I called him on it (I can't even remember which board) he said that it "should have been obvious" that he was quoting as the writing style was so different than his usual style.

Not cool, IMHO. And not something to be encouraged. You copy and paste from another source, you should say so.

Back. Tired. But thought I'd check in.

So, I just noticed that Mossy, TheMary, and myself should all have been derangered one to two months ago. :oops: I'll start PMing down the list.


ETA: I just sent PMs to Estel, Rebecca, and Lily Rose. A couple of months ago, Leoba and Holby had both expressed that they were not currently interested in Ranger terms, so I thought we'd wait a bit longer before bothering them again, even though they were both at the top of the pool. I also added a number of people back to the Ranger pool whose dates for re-entry had long since passed.

Lily Rose can do it! :) Mossy's term expires first, so if it's okay with everyone, I'll deranger Mossy and ranger-ify Lily in the next day-ish. Mossy, is this okay with you?
