Friday Public Square: Before We Leave...

Written by: Subway Serenade on Aug 1, 2008 11:42 AM EDT

I just read that several people are about to give up hope on this space, and much of it is for good reason that HQ seems to be slow in understanding. Your role, HQ is provide the tools. Our role is to use them as reasonable people in a long standiing Community.

So before everybody gets so fed up that BFA just disolves, I would like to offer up a simple suggestion, because Thankful was really on to something when she brought back open threads. So I'm proposing a simple "job action" that would last until we get to talk to Jim Dean, and here's how it would work.

Starting with this thread, let there be three "Public Squares" each day. Say at 8am, 6pm and midnight. Let each member recommend that thread only, and only post comments in the "Public Square."

In the Public Square we can discuss the main threads, and if anyone wants to read comments about their personal threads or Staff threads they have to come to the Public Square because this is the only place where comments will be found.

This will return the Great American Conversation to something very close to the thing we actually had in the beginning, and would pretty much circumvent Draconia without shutting the place down.

Bottom line. From now on, we only comment in the Public Square.

All in favor?
