Group Overhaul - IMPORTANT

Due to the way that this group has developed, I feel that we are now in need of a major adjustment to the way the group is run.

Firstly, Folder Managers and Moderators will be combined into one role, which will be Moderators. Due to the amount of losses we've had from our admin team, we will also be needing some more volunteers to moderate the submissions. All you would need to do is read through pieces submitted, and vote 'yes' or 'no' on them. If you're interested simply send us a note, letting us know why you're interested and what you think you could bring to the group. Further details will be given to those who are successful. For now, we do not have any limits on how many people we can accept. This is also true of critiquers, which we are also looking for.

This adjustment to the group roles, leaves us with a new role that can be opened. The plan is to create a position which will be known as Writing Friends (if you can think of a better name, let us know). This will not be a responsible position, and you would not be required to do anything. Instead, members in this role will have privileges that others do not, in that submissions will be automatically accepted, you will have access to the admin area, and there may be a chance of features. You cannot apply for this role, but instead must be invited. Those who will be invited are likely to be those who have submitted at least fifteen pieces to the group, been a former admin of the group, or won a contest in which it was listed as a prize. (If you are a former admin, remind me, so you are not missed.)

Secondly, the prompts will be removed as a feature. This is due to the fact that it is very rarely used, and is only taking up space on our front page. The previous picture prompts will still remain in our favourites, but no new ones will be added.

This is an ongoing process, and you may not see the difference for a few days. This should not majorly affect the day to day running of the group, but we are sorry if this impairs your enjoyment of the group.

Until next time, happy writing!
