I'm going to post the reforms as the problems and how we will be addressing them. In this thread will be a LOT of things to read up on, and as usual I will not be posting a tl:dr. Sorry :(
PROBLEM ONE: The Codex is not being respected and people are doing too many stupid things and getting away with them
SOLUTION: The Witch Hunt
Originally to be the model of the enforcers, I have decided to make this group wide. Any sort of codex breach, stupidity, or issues that occur within the group should be screenshotted and sent to me VIA an imgur extension in a PM. I will place this imgur extension in a google spreadsheet that is public (meaning searchable. "Tober's Warn List"). All imgurs will be placed there in order to encourage people not to breach the codex, unless they want that display of poor behavior displayed to whom ever decides to look for it. There are exceptions of course. The only time to be lax about it is when there is a spar taking place and/or people are in the middle of fighting during a training
The reward for such a which hunt? For every person who contributes to the successful demotion of a person, will be awarded a recommendation that I will PM to both them and waterbird. Arcadia should be taking pride in removing all the harassment that gets in the way of the more productive and fun things in the group
PROBLEM TWO: The lack of officer effectiveness/number
SOLUTION: Returning the "officer in training" rank (Centurion)
Interested in being an officer to further improve the group? Send a PM to me answering the following:
1) You are hosting a raid/training and two members begin arguing and refusing orders. According to policies, what should you do? According to personal style, what would you do?
2) Are you more of a Trainer or a Raid Leader?
3) Is there anyone in the current corps you feel you do not get along with. State reasons why.
4) If you answered the previous question, will this affect your choices in the corps if that member(s) are working with you?
5) Where do you feel you can improve the group the most.
The Requirements for this positions are the following:
1) 6+ months of consecutive service or returned by veteran's policy
2) Aux+ rank
3) No history in the blacklist.
The officer academy group will be held by RodgerDodger, whom will focus on the training and evaluation of the would-be officers
PROBLEM THREE: The Recommendations.
Due to the mess that became of our record from the transition in and out of TAGAdmin, a lot of the recommendations pretty much disappeared into the void. Because of this. I WILL BE WIPING ALL CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS. However do not lose hope. IF YOU SEND ME A SET OF SCREENSHOTS WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS, I will promote TAGs at most twice, and TGIs at most once.
As for the current recommendation system. It is being debated on how these recommendations will occur, however we will be tracking them a lot easier. As of now, It only takes two recommendations to earn a promotion in TAG, however graduation testers will be asked to grade graduations more aggressively in order to assist in placing quality members into the main group.
Furthermore, due to how easy it will be to pass through TAG, I am declaring that IF a tag is demoted for codex breaches, he will be demoted back to stage one regardless of his rank. Harsh? Absolutely. TAG will be easy to the people who can keep focused and awesome. TAG will not be easy to people who drop the ball on the way through.
The amount of recommendations per promotion is going to be 2 for TAG, and 5 for TGI. Trainers have been asked to recommend the best of their trainings rather than the active. The most active people will be rewarded in a different manner that will be detailed in a later part of this post.
PROBLEM FOUR: The Fun Factor
Firstly, We're doing contests. Lots of contests.
At the moment we are planning to do contests on rewriting canon lore, creating medals, and spring festivities. Since I've talked about the spring festivities, lets talk about the other contests
Every week I will post an activity contest thread. The top 25% of the people of the thread who post screenshots of them participating in any event. Yes. ANY event, Will be PROMOTED. Not recommended. PROMOTED. (This will reset your recommendations)
Other contests will be announced as time goes in.
The rest of the problems will be solved internally in the officer core, and hopefully solved with these four things introduced here. This is the beginning of a lot of good things. By all means, lets have a go at it and have a lot of success in the process.

" For every person who contributes to the successful demotion of a person, will be awarded a recommendation that I will PM to both them and waterbird."
You're encouraging for people to backstab at every opportunity.
Any instance of trust in this group will be demolished. |

Also another problem if I may add to the list here.
When I created the black list, and all the other officers started adding on people to it and labeling specific people under "permanent exile"
You guys let the people under permanent exile back in.
On numerous occasions.
And this has been brought up on numerous occasions yet never dealt with.

Just for the fun of it-
1) You are hosting a raid/training and two members begin arguing and refusing orders. According to policies, what should you do? According to personal style, what would you do? Screech at them to be quiet, ask a Commissar+ to get to my current location ASAP while taking screenshots of what is going on. And personally talking to them.
2) Are you more of a Trainer or a Raid Leader? Disciplinary person.
3) Is there anyone in the current corps you feel you do not get along with. State reasons why. No one, everyone should be viewed equally if you honestly don't know them well.
4) If you answered the previous question, will this affect your choices in the corps if that member(s) are working with you? I feel so hyped. Yay.
5) Where do you feel you can improve the group the most. Discipline, fun, and maintaining discipline WHILE having fun, giving-out appropriate orders to the ranks below(and above) me. |

@bloody
i do not know what the codex says, or what tober's rules are, but this simply makes people want to follow the rules. |
