WeBB OOC Area

sbibb — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 08:15:46 -0500

Did you know the club has an official Out of Character Zone? It does!!

After a vote in Starfleet Command as to whether or not the area should be commissioned in late 2009, the vote determined the area to be a viable resource and it should stay open -- So lets get using it!

Its a fantastic place to meet others you might not otherwise meet in the club, talk about things aside from STF.. unwind, be fun, go bananas!!

Are you interested, we certainly hope so. Vist us here http://www.star-fleet.com/webb/ooc or by clicking WeBB OOC on the STF Navigation Menu.

There's lots of things to do:

* Helen will be interviewing a member of STF
* Sam will be putting this month's quiz up
* We're polling on your Top 3 Favourite Species

And remember.. its about you, so if you want to talk about something there then talk about it provided its appropriate that is :P

So there you have it, our advertisement. The slogan, Its there, Its staying - lets use it!

Announcement: Proper use of the "Location" field

jherr — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 07:58:06 -0500

A few weeks ago, the Internet Department held a discussion regarding the proper way to "use" the "Location" field. For the full announcement of the results, please read this post:

http://www.star-fleet.com/webb/node/236730

In short, proper use of the "Location" field is as follows:

Location - Activity

The "Location" field is only to contain a physical location; e.g. "Bridge", "Captain's Ready Room", "Quarters: Joe Bloggs".

The "Activity" field is only to contain an In Character activity; e.g. "Joe Blogg's Physical", "Medical Emergency", "Graduation Ceremony".

Examples of the proper format:

Sickbay - Joe Blogg's Physical
Counselor's Office - Cadet Smith's Evaluation
CO's Ready Room - Disciplining Lt. Marius
Cargo Bay 1
Transporter Room 2
Planet's Surface - Cultural Research

I hope that gets the point across, and clears up the many rumors and misconceptions that have been floating around about this issue. Jack and I worked hard on a solution that allows the most flexibility for users while maintaining integrity of the system.

Thank you,

Jen
