I beleive it's closed for the time being while the fw sets it up (user 'i'
mentioned this somewhere from recall).

Nope. When a conference is started, it's often set up so that
only the fairwitness can join it, to set up the login screen and
one or more initial items. Then when the fw is ready, it's
opened to the public. Right now, it technically exists, but only
prp is in it.
There are no private conferences on Grex, other than the staff
conference. That policy was established by member vote a few
years ago. In my view, it would take another member vote to
overturn it.
Decorum was authorized to be started a while ago -- I guess the
reason we're still discussing it is because of the concept of its
being a collection of conferences instead of just one, which I
don't think was clear to people earlier. I know it wasn't to
me. Personally, I think the whole concept is screwy, unlikely
to have popular appeal, and will just lead to there being a
few more dead conferences. Also, again speaking personally, I
think Agora is fine and doesn't need fixing. If there's wide-
spread dissatisfaction with it, as Paul believes, why don't we
see anybody else in this item other than him expressing it?
I suppose I could be wrong, I've been wrong before, and anyway
Grex policy is to let people try out new ideas for conferences.
We even let some guy have a thing called "cyberpunk" a while
back despite some people's misgivings. ;-) So if Paul really
wants to try this, I suppose he should be allowed. Hopefully
he understands that the software imposes limitations on what a
fairwitness can do, that he has to work within those limitations,
and that the burden is on him to get people interested in
participating.

I haven't heard from prp in almost a month. Without an active fw, i
don't see that we could do much with the decorum cf. except remove it
quitely.....you still around, prp, or is someone else interested in
fw'ing, or...???

I can FW it, as I offered in the beginning. A while back I dropped my
advocacy of the conference, but if Paul's temporarily gone for a while I can
start it up. I guess I'll go by this item to figure out how to run the thing.

re #95 You aren't going to advocate fw censorship like prp did, are you?

<sigh> Just when I thought this decorum thing was over. Can't we just be
rational and post something about filters and leave up to individual users what
their level of sensativity is? Perhaps you could fw the moribund intro conf.
with a paragraph on filters on it's intro page? Why have the fw dictate what
users are capable of deciding on their own?

I would not mind having a conference to use temporarily until the m-netters
stop filling up agora with their idea of interesting items.

Failed security checkpoint.
Can someone explain? Do I need a password to get in?

It doesn't actually exist. I think it got partway created before it's
advocates vanished.

Keesan, I don't ordinarily say this kind of thing, but go eat a bag of
vegetarian, home-grown, organic shitdicks.

Tsk tsk. Such hostility, and directed at such a
harmless person.
Tell us, Joe, don't you think keesan has a right to
an interesting conferencing environment? Or do you
actually think the stuff your fellow mnetters are
entering *is* interesting?

Re #105: Heh. You should talk. M-Netters have had to run from
their own general conference and take refuge in Hitone.

Re #106: I guess I could direct the hostility at you, if you prefer, but
I don't find you as annoying. You don't act as superior as she
does. I bet you could if you tried, of course...
And no, I don't find all of the last items interesting at all.
I hated it when they did it on M-Net, and I hate it here. But I
also don't find detailed updates on activities at Kiwanis, or
a number of other standard Agora iteme, interesting either. I
don't ask for a special conference free of the people who enter
them, though; I just skip over the items or forget them, because
I realize that other people like them.
Re #107: We aren't locking anyone out of hitone, and it's regularly
advertised in the "other conferences" item. It's just another
specialty conference, geared toward serious philosophical
discussions. It isn't intended as a secret conference to be used
to get away from the riffraff.

Yeah, and how *many* Kiwanis items are there? A new one every day?
A serious discussion, no matter how boring to anyone personally, cannot
be mistaken for deliberate clutter.

It's certainly easier to forget one mind-numbingly dull item than it is to
forget multiple ones, but the basic point stands.
