I agree completely that a clean up is in order.
Dissolving the brackets of RP based on weight (hehe) would also be a quick-fix to all of the Linkshells appearing to be "Heavy."
I actually am/was under the impression that most RPers are not into heavy RP, but somewhere in the 'moderate' range, so I am a llittle surprised that we have so many heavy RP Linkshells. Not to say that they do not 'belong' or something silly like that, since perhaps the few moderate LSs may be simply larger, but again - we face the problem of self-evaluation. I know some people who take their RP seriously and would call themselves heavy RPers, who I do not consider as such. It's difficult to represent these things on an unbiased 'standard'. So yeah, kind of supports the previous point about simply getting rid of the brackets and letting each LS stand on their own.
Momo and Mtoto (you guys and your funny names) have both now mentioned an OOC LS leaders meet (working on an IC one, just give it time, have to finish some of the current story arcs first). Especially with regards to Momo's previous point about the RPC being the place to connect for RPers rather than enforce rules upon the community - it sounds like a case being made (again) for the Leader's council here on the boards. Threads about it may have been nuked or moved to where I couldn't find them, the latest started by Eva, wherein several RPers wished to bring back the council - which is a forum only for leaders of linkshells on these boards (perhaps with viewing privileges for everyone) that can be used to start organizing cross-LS RP and so on OOC'ly. This has been discussed and obviously it didn't go through... I am happy to try again now, but I just wanted you guys to be aware of that... since it seems like in both cases same things are being asked for.
If worst comes to worst I have no problem picking one of our LS forums at random to host such a section >.>
But then again, I want to just do it IC'ly first and foremost so I may not even really need it as much.
Momo, I think you're right though on getting the opinions of the quiet folks that we never hear from, especially leaders of the community. Last night I asked over the OOC pearl if people were psyched to reply to this as much as I was, no one seemed to share the enthusiasm. I don't think many people care for these discussions unfortunately >.>
EDIT: Could not find Eva's thread, but here is a poll that was a byproduct of it LINK

Quote:. I think I will come back to the group merging idea that I originally posted, and agree that with many of the groups this is not possible unless they give up some of their major foundational points, and therefore not a valid solution, but I think that idea came from the spirit of group communication between at least he leaders to form a stronger unified presence here. I think that has a possibility of better handling recruitment organization and group degradation in the long run IF the leaders can be agreeable and share info and ideas.

I’m the bullies you hate, that you became.
