i will try to fix those questions

1. in order to qualify for a denizenship, you must have 8 months of straight activity within OT. every month, new person gets denizen

2. denizenship needs an actual definition. i cant think of one rn, but im sure you guys could because you're an actual team and im just one guy. what you could also do is make multiple definitions and have a vote on which is the definitive definition, which would fix the problem of nobody agreeing on what denizenship is

3. i do not understand this. do you mean that there's not the same amount of denizens in each gen? do you mean that people from older times being mixed in with people from current times?

4. see the second sentence of number one

5. dont understand, do you mean people jumping from generation to generation (like samx500 jumping from gen 7 to gen 6), if thats the case, dont allow that to happen unless a person truly deserves to jump to an older generation

6. people have sort of put this idea of denizen being very important, so maybe clear that up? also the whole system's inconsistency can also contribute to the problem. also, the people who choose denizens should really think twice before adding a denizen, because simply adding a person without any actual thought will contribute to the inconsistency issue (cough cough blushing issue cough cough)

good luck fixing the system i guess

most of these problems can be solved by leaving all that's in the past in the past and start focusing on the future.
as for the denizen selection process, i suggest something like a direct democracy. when somebody has been around for a certain time (like 8 months or something) a vote is started where everybody can vote whether they would like to see them as a denizen or not. resolution of other denizen-related problems should only use this method as a last resort.

imo denizenship shouldn't be a perk (in most cases). from what i have seen, it is a way to remember the people that made the history of the forum (and the actual events that happened are the chronicles) and it should be repurposed to play that role.

1- So if a lot of people joined OT at the same time, we would have to choose to delay the denizen annoucement of some people because there is a denizen cap per month?, that doesn't seem like a good idea, less when you consider ot may grow in the futuer

2- I mean yeah that's what we're discussing but we cant find a solution

3- read the full thread for more info, but TLDR is that the requirements for denizen have changed over the ages and older denizens have not been adapted to it, so a gen 3 denizen may not acutally qualify in gen 10, which leads to a lot of problems

4- fair

5- no, I mean the switch from gen 9 to gen 10 and stuff like that

6- I mean, even if I try hard to make denizen less prestigious, due to all of the oldfags who will return over time and abraker restless campaign to make denizen a really cool thing, it wouldn't be much of a help tbh

idk if polling is that great of an idea because it would lead to gatekeeping and favoritism

1. ok then, maybe just change how often denizenshit is rewarded, a week would be far too short and a month would be far too long. maybe new denizen every 15 days?

2. work hard mf

3. you can't really do much about this. time has changed the denizen system, so unless you wanna remove the older denizens and continue with the new selection process or remove the new denizens and go back to the old selection process, (which would cause alot of drama and confusion one way or the other) there's not much possible to fix this.

4. how tf do i argue with "fair"

5. you guys should decide how long a generation lasts for

6. oldfags come and go from what ive seen, i wouldnt worry too much. as for abraker you'll just have to ignore him i guess

sametdze wrote:

3. maybe what you could do is take gens depending on what the requirements were at the time and split them up into either classic or modern. for example, generations that required you to be active for 8 months would be put in "modern gen". idk if this makes sense but its hard to get this idea of mine out

5. come up with some potential gen lengths and run a poll (i could see this having some cons but i think it could work with some fixing)

So one of the things we want is for the denizen nomination to be objective, something that can work is just a minimal time like 8 months since they joined and an exact number of post for example 500
(Like ot eras but without a time limit)

This way theres no problem with the dudes that are active for a while and then go away or debates on who should or should not be a denizen
