> I still think that the admin board is a good place to talk about admin. That is precisely what the admin board is for, I would have thought.
That's still precisely what the admin board is for. Nothing has changed that. There's nothing that was said in the first team meeting that otherwise would have been posted on the admin board if we hadn't had a chat space.
Is it the mere existence of a restricted space (of which there are too many to count on the internet and in real life)? Or is it that the admin. team have private communications at all? I still don't get the objection.
> Another thing that bears on this issue is Dr Bob asking specifically what the deputies think. Kind of implies that if others say what they think they are butting in to the conversation and he doesn't care what other people think about the issue.
That's an inference, not an implication. Others may infer something different or may see nothing more than that Dr. Bob consults deputies about stuff.
> Another thing is his tendency to say 'it was the deputies idea' when it was not. Or 'the deputies decided' when they did not, they just went along with what he had decided already. Or 'we decided that' when he really meand 'I decided that'.
I agree that's problematic. I don't see how that's connected to a restricted chat room.
> I guess the nature of the admin board is changing... We get to discuss things like what colour chat should be and how many lines we get in Babblemail and the real policy decisions won't really be on admin anymore.
Well, there's this thread. That doesn't seem to be the same as what color the board is. There's the one about a recent block. There's one about the implications and preferences regarding redirects.
> > I really don't want to feel angry about someone else's issue.> This is an admin issue gg.
I would suggest that it might not be just an admin issue, alex.
> Or maybe... Only deputies get to deal with the real admin issues now and what non-deputies have to say is... Of little concern.Do you really believe that? And if so, just because the admin team communicated via a chat room instead of a list serv on one evening this week?
> I'm sorry... I don't understand why anger.
That's okay. It was my feeling to sort out.
