Since the other thread seems more aimed at discussion and various back and forth comments I thought for the sake of everyone it would be good to start a thread dedicated to user ideas. Apparently tzentmeyer and WifS is concerned with what we think, so let's use this space to collect all our ideas in one spot. Remember, the goal is to have a Terms of Service that can be Universally applied to all Private Worlds. How can we get to that point?

Let's keep discussion and other back and forthiness to the other thread. State your idea and move on. If you want, build off of someone else's idea and improve it.

Require that all private worlds have their rules posted on their blogs. Require that commish's let the world know at the beginning of each season that said rules are posted and easily accessible on said blog.

You can even go a step further and require commish to send a trade chat to every owner letting them know the rules are on the blog. Therefore its trackable. If an issue ever comes up, WIS can look into the world chat and trade chat and see that the owner was told about the rules they've agreed to play by in the private world.

If the commish failed to do so then the rules can't be enforced.

Instead of an 80 game stretch of .250, how about a 40 game stretch of .300 (12-28)? You don't have to boot someone out because of that, but if you're tanking you'll definately have a stretch like that.

From tzentmeyer:
Our thoughts:

Keep expanded Fair Play Guidelines (what determines a "tanking team").

Remove notice regarding private worlds.

Allow private world commissioners to restrict access between seasons. Rationale for removal must occur prior to the end of the season (heads up to us) and again when the season rolls.

We will continue to review some of these instances subjectively, but this maintains the majority of the power in the commish hands.

For a commish to be removed from commish duty, we will need 10 other owners in the world to state they agree in the world chat during the season.

problem solved...thanks again tz/admin...
