Welcome back, everyone!
I'm not 100% better, but definitely at least 85%. Though I still have to not lift heavy things or get stressed out. The main bulk of pain is getting better but I still have a very serious life long thing that I should get surgery for but I might die so I don't want to risk it.
So with TB being back, we've had to re-vamp some things to accommodate my new life and still being on TB. So now everyone on the staff team has a section that they are the go-to person for. Any changes, questions, suggestions for it should go through them. They can always ask me for a second opinion, but I'm not the final say anymore.
So for:
Gringotts
Member Issues
Daily/Weekly Prophet
OTM Awards
You'll need to go to the right person. If you send me a question about it, I'll just end up forwarding it to them anyway so it's easier just to PM the point person to begin with. If you're not sure, though, you can always PM me.
There also is this handy new thread to help:
thebeginning11.proboards.com/thread/60345/staff-list-who?page=1&scrollTo=441854
SOME OTHER CHANGES:
-- We're going back to threaded applications. We've done in one thread and separate threads before. And now it's going to be separate threads again. It's not much longer, though. Only big thing we added was a family section and only relation/ages are required (ex. sister - 14 years old).
-- We also are now accepting only first - fifth years at Hogwarts but any year at the other schools. This was going to happen this term regardless - we were short sixth and seventh years but now it's evened out so we're okay again.
-- Plot has been updated. Though this was what was going to happen anyway even before my heart incident. Make sure to read the Plot (yes it's actually been updated lol) and the Plot Timeline. If you have any questions about it, feel free to PM me.
-- Sidebar in the skin once more! I know the c-box isn't static but if you want the link, you can right click on Refresh and open in new tab or: my.cbox.ws/thebeginning11
-- Stella made some awards already so try to check those out. (:
-- No more class grades buttons. Honestly, for the amount of work that it was, it wasn't really worth it. No one really used them. But if professors want to do grades for their students and post them up (either just as a thread saying what grades they got or you could do graphics too if you really want), that's up to the individual professor. <3
MORE ABOUT APPLICATIONS:
It's just one board. We'll reply with if it's accepted or pending. And also put a label on it.
We now have "advancements" of characters too. It's just a simple little things with the labels in that board. So you'll see some threads have Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum. It's just for how long the character has been on the site (not the member).
Bronze - 6 months
Silver - 1 year
Gold - 2 years
Platinum - 3+ years
In future, we'll be able to see from the thread date. However, for any older characters who posted up a history log or application later (and yes you still can if you wish!), please let us know if they should have one of those labels if we haven't caught it. (:
ACTIVITY CHECK:
It ended on the same day we went on re-vamp but as there are some who didn't get to passing all of their characters, it's going to be extended another week. Plus, I know that sometimes people move on, even if it was only a couple of weeks, so even if you did pass, you just need to reply to let us know that you're sticking around.
It's been re-posted with just the characters who didn't pass as of April 7th. Plus OOC names of those who did who just need to say you're still around. <3
