| − | For a while, people have been discussing on the possibility of having a clan chat. Now, after looking through past discussions, I have come to the conclusion that it would be near impossible to agree on one clan chat, because everyone wants their clan chat to be the official wiki one. Rendova even went through the trouble of creating a wikia account, "rs wikia" made just for clan chat, and people still couldn't agree. So, I think the best solution would be to have multiple clan chats. The clans chats would follow certain rules (feel free to add some), and there would be a list of the bottom of the page. Thoughts? {{Template:Signatures/Tesfan}} 17:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC) |

||
| − | |||
| − | ::: Tesfan, I don't think that's a good solution, because no one would ever be at the same chat. It would be like one or two people would be at every chat. I think it would be best if we just all had one. [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]][[User:Butterman62|Butterman62]][[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 21:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::The problem is, even when we said that "Rs wikia" would be the official one, people still would flock to different chats and what not. {{Template:Signatures/Tesfan}} 21:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::::Well, perhaps we could have a straw poll or something to decide the chat, and make that the offical runescape wiki chat, and post that up on the top of the screen, where all the important stuff is put. [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]][[User:Butterman62|Butterman62]][[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 22:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::::I don't think multiple clan chats would work for the reason provided by Butterman. I think we just need to decide on one single clan chat to use. But to figure out which is best, we have to look at each of them. Find the pros and cons, weigh them out, and decide which is best suited. First, though, let's weigh out the pros and cons of dedicated hosts. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Pros''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Names will usually be easier to remember and recognize. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Since there isn't any single person operating it (in the case of me and Rs Wikia, I'm happy just pretending I don't own that account. I disassociate myself from it almost entirely) |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Everyone of higher authority is seen as equal, since no one person is in charge. In the clan chats of players such as Uloveme, Green358(or whatever numbers), and other "celebrities", you often find people arguing with admins saying stuff like "You aren't X, so you can't tell me what to do in his chat". However, in dedicated chats like Ad Busters and Elvemage (since he's banned and his admins are thus nulled), people accept admins as a collective leadership, not just cocky minions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * In undedicated chats, people often come and go with the host, so usually people are only in the clan chat when the host is online. I'm sure we've all seen this, since it's so common. We want people to always feel welcome in the chat, not just when the host is around. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Ranks can be assigned according to position on the wiki. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * Friends unassociated with the wiki walking into the chat will never be an issue. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | '''Cons''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The only con I can think of is that there isn't a final authority to settle disputes between admins. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | If you want to weigh the pros and cons of undedicated clan chats, just flip the numbers for dedicated around. Anyway, now we look at the various people who have offered to let RSW use their CCs. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | '''Ilyas259 (undedicated host)''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Respect</i> As a person he's respected by the vast majority of the wiki. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Experience</i> He knows what he's doing. That's always nice :D |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Name</i> It took me a week to get his name committed to memory. It might not be worth it for a visitor or a new member of RSW. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''R S Wiki (unknown dedication)''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Time</i> Whoever made this is new enough that I know absolutely nothing about him(her?) except that he exists. So this means no reputation, no experience with the wiki, and, ultimately, unpredictability. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Name</i> His name would take a few guesses by a curious someone who might want to see if we have a CC, but its purpose is a lot more obvious than Ilyas's, as well as being a lot easier to remember. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''Rs Wikia (dedicated)''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Name</i> One of the best parts of it is the awesomely simple and obvious name. Too bad Rs Wiki was taken when I made this :| |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Ownership</i> I'm detached from it, so it's as if nobody owns it. I don't even have a rank on it, since I hold no positions on RSW. And the only time I ever log in on it is to update the friend list and ranks. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * <i>Openness</i> I originally made it so that you would have to be added to enter, for the sake of keeping baddies such as Total Rune from playing in it while the cats are away. But if this were to become "official" and get a spot on the main page, or elsewhere, then that could change. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I added this name suggestion today for you to discuss {{Signatures/Invincibility}} 00:56, 15 March 2009 (UTC)'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''RScape Wiki (dedicated)''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | *<i>Name</i>: Fits the wiki clan chat better than with a space between the r and s that is currently being used. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *<i>Ownership</i>: Owned by [[User:Invincibility|Invincibility]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *<i>Experience</i>: I don't want rate my own experience, but I do know how to do a majority of the tasks involving editing on this wiki. I am a trustworthy and reliable person and I would be happy to use this as the official clan chat. I have made quite a few edits, but I am not an admin and do not have rollback powers. [[Special:Editcount/Invincibility|Invincibility's Edit Count]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | I know more people had offered their CCs to the wiki, but these are the only 3 I can remember. Anyone got the names of the others? {{Template:Signatures/Rendova}} 00:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | If we had to have 1 dedicated channel, I would prefer RS wikia, as having a user run it somewhat implies that that user is the "leader". Also, I think that anyone should be able to come in, so people don't flood people with friend list requests, and so that they can just enter. {{Template:Signatures/Tesfan}} 01:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | :My chat is only for rs wiki. Also, for people who don't frequent the forums: Administrators are general and can kick, rollback are captain other users are no rank. Lootshare is off, and anyone can join. Also, if you really don't trust me, I could give the account to an administrator, as I don't play on this account anyway. [[User:R S Wiki|R S Wiki]] 01:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::None of us would allow you to give the account away, so we'd have a problem there. {{Template:Signatures/Rendova}} 02:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::Since everyone seems to want the clan chats open, I've set Rs Wikia to allow anyone in and to talk. {{Template:Signatures/Rendova}} 22:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::Tesfan, yes, having a user run it kinda makes that user look like the leader. Should we have Angela make one then or something? Otherwise, we have a straw poll or something? [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]][[User:Butterman62|Butterman62]][[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 03:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | :::::'Aight, first off, Angela who? I hope you don't mean [[User:Angela]].. she works for Wikia, and has nothing to do with RuneScape. |
||
| − | :::::Secondly, why don't we keep using the IRC chat? It's easy to get to, anyone can join whenever, it's pretty easily customizable to our needs... if you want LootShare that badly, just group up when you need it. IRC is far better than the Clan Chat system, despite not actually being a part of RuneScape, but I see no good reason to move to Clan Chat. {{random rune}} [[User:Oddlyoko|Oddlyoko]] <sup>[[User talk:Oddlyoko|talk]]</sup> 03:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::::Well, some people don't like constantly opening up a window to talk to fellow wiki members. But, yeah, I guess we could stay like that. [[Image:Bloodbarrage.png]][[User:Butterman62|Butterman62]][[Image:Icebarrage.png]] 03:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | :Several options to help with that: 1) Tabbed windows in certain browsers. 2) mIRC or other chat clients. 3) If using (2), or without tabs, use ALT-TAB. {{random rune}} [[User:Oddlyoko|Oddlyoko]] <sup>[[User talk:Oddlyoko|talk]]</sup> 03:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |

||
| − | :::That stinks... I still think IRC is the most viable option - the best point being that it's always up, even if the 'owner' isn't. CCs are rather unwieldy in that regard. Besides, you can always ask someone else around here for help setting up something like mIRC. {{random rune}} [[User:Oddlyoko|Oddlyoko]] <sup>[[User talk:Oddlyoko|talk]]</sup> 22:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC) |

||
| − | :I am your father... but seriously. Ily was, and I presume still is, hugely dedicated to his chat being rsw's cc. The way things up there worked out was everyone wanted a clan chat, everyone wanted it to be theirs (why? idk.), and nobody was willing to take "no" for an answer. It worked the same way unsuccessful marriages do. The "other people" up there were just the next most likely to be chosen. {{Template:Signatures/Rendova}} 19:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC) |

||
| − | |||
| − | I think they should be captains, because the clan chat is primarily a community thing, and forum admins mostly deal with community matters which means they could be just as mature as an administrator if someone in the chat was being disruptive. {{Signatures/InstantWinston}} 22:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC) |

A "Requests for Sergeantship" page was once suggested.

I hope that the wiki will soon come to a conclusion on this controversial topic! If you have any thoughts on how to implement some sort of request for kicking powers, or any other views on the subject I would love to here them, because the discussion on Karil's chat is limited! :-) I may not be a well known user of the wiki, but I have been in the CC and some people get a little carried away with their kicking powers. I hope that a comprehensive set of rules can be developed and put on the main page. There seems to be rules spread all throught discussions, and I haven't seen an agreement on the religion and politics issue yet. {{Signatures/Invincibility}} 03:36, 19 March 2009 (UTC) |

||
| − | |||
| − | Be careful. What you've got on this page are some ''very definite'' rules. Hard rules are not conducive to running a clan chat smoothly; not only does it mean ranks feel restricted by them, people will also use them as justification to be assholes by breaking the ''spirit'' of the rule if not the ''letter'' of the rule (This is all covered in WP:IAR, I'm sure). Ideally, someone needs to reword the rules to make them more guideline-ish. [[User:Vimescarrot|<font color="darkred">JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot</font>]] 10:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC) |

||
| − | |||
| − | == New rules == |
||
| − | |||
| − | The rules as they are now are all well and good in principle, but are lacking something in practice. I suggest a rewrite. So I'm going to rewrite them. Tell me what you think: |
||
| − | |||
| − | *All users must follow Jagex’s 13 Rules, as usual. However, we might have to “tweak” rule 11 – Obviously, we will have to mention, refer to, tell people to look, etc., the Wiki many times. <small>Justifying this by saying it's not "advertising" is useless - Jagex won't agree when we get reported, and our opinion is irrelevant on that.</small> |
||
| − | *[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_dick Don't be a dick.] Don't start arguments for no reason. Don't spam. Don't be deliberately disruptive. This rule is kept deliberately vague, as most people '''know''' when they aren't being productive. However, there are some examples which are not necessarily so obvious to everyone. |
||
| − | **Don't sing. We aren't on the same emotional level, and what's more, we can't hear it. So it won't affect us in the same way, and will achieve nothing other than annoying people for being disruptive. |
||
| − | **Don't levelup-spam. We may want to know you get 99 Fishing, but not if you tell us with seven lines of zeros. "Woot!" Is just as good as "w000000000000000000000000000000000000t". |
||
| − | **Comment on other people's opinions, by all means, but don't argue, and don't insult. Opinions are opinions, and by definition, can't be wrong. It's generally best to keep religious, political and other controversial material to private chat. You may be able to hold a mature conversation about them, but there's no guarantee everyone else can. |
||
| − | **Don't give anyone special treatment. This applies to ranks and non-ranks alike. Ranks aren't gods; non-ranks aren't peons. We're all [[RS:AEAE|equal]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When these rules are broken, there are not necessarily any hard and fast rules on how to deal with them. If you're being disruptive, you will probably get a warning or two, then be kicked. But ranks are ranked because their judgement is deemed trsutworthy enough to know ''when'' to kick and when to give second chances. Don't just ''tell'' them we can't kick you without a warning. They may be justified in kicking you for that, as it's a prime example of [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_a_dick having the wrong attitude]. Just use your head and make it a fun place to be! |
