Hello Cdragon, I am so sad we cannot chat easily today. I know you are busy though, so I understand. I will not get back home until 8PM tonight, so you will likely be sleeping by that time. I will check in from time to time.

There were three things I wanted to bring to your attention today. I don't think any of them are major concerns, but just some events to be aware of:


 * 1) Thread:16139-I personally don't think that it is a good idea to allow each member to set up their own rules. This makes it confusing for new users. They can offend one person and not another. Half of the list is things that are already allowed (like using metric measurement, or having conversations) and the other half are things that are not within user rights (restricting language, etc). I left a response to this effect. Things have been going smoothly for the past week so I have no idea why a message like this was necessary except for things we have talked about together in chat and I won't repeat here.
 * 2) Thread:16114-This was a concern that Tibet had about people fixing his page (I think NobleChea corrected a spelling error yesterday according to the logs). I came and defended Tibet but he seems to be saying that he just wants to police this on his own. We might still want to have a rule, but I told Tibet I will leave it alone for now. The only problem I have with him policing it on his own, sending warnings, etc, is that sometimes because of language differences conflicts can arise out of miscommunication. I think it is better to have a rule in place so that it can be policed by admins. If it needs discussion, that is fine, and that is how I tried to word it in the thread. But I deferred to Tibet's request to leave it alone for the time being.
 * 3) Thread:16133-Tibet broke the rule about editing other people's messages. I told him we would be willing to overlook it for now because he may have misinterpreted the rule we have. I don't know if you would even mind that he edited your message on a private thread, but it is important to have a universal rule in place so that all users are subject to the same rule all the time. I don't think we can look like we are making exceptions for some users and not others. Also, the communication you had from CC made it sound like this may be an error on our wiki anyway.

As always, as Bcrat you have final say. This message is just to let you know how I handled these problems in your absence, and I will stand beside any decisions you think you need to make.
