Board Thread:Administrative Requests/@comment-410526-20160205081637

So, it's become kind of evident that it can be difficult to contact admins directly for urgent matters, which becomes problematic when it comes to spammers and vandalism.

In order to make it easier to contact admins, I floated the idea of creating a new group chat where admins and regular users can communicate. This doesn't need to be limited to combating spammers, I'm thinking we can also use this group to discuss Wiki-related things and just generally coordinate Wiki-related efforts. We already have a lot of users who have feedback and input and I think this has the potential to enhance communication and discussion.

Since all of the currently active admins already use Skype, I imagine it's the best platform to use right now. If you have alternative solutions (slack, IRC, etc.), feel free to suggest them in the comments below, but keep in mind you'd have to convince everyone else to adopt it too.

Anyway, if any of you are interested in being part of this group, please send me a contact request on Skype (my Skype name is "ghasteroids") mentioning the Wiki and your Wiki username and I'll add you to the group.

To clarify, the Wiki chat and the other Wiki Skype group aren't really used for official Wiki things. The intent is for this to be entirely separate from chat and more focused on specific Wiki matters than general discussion.

By the way, this is totally unofficial and just a sort of pilot test thing to help regular users and staff interact and make the Wiki better. Depending on how much support this gets, it might become official in future. People who opt to be part of this chat group will not receive elevated status on the Wiki, and nobody is obligated to be a part of this. Message Walls are still the preferred mode of communication with admins at the moment.


 * '''TL;DR
 * I am making a Skype group for discussing Wiki-related matters (disussing articles, combating vandalism/spam, etc.)
 * If you want to be a part of this, send a contact request to "ghasteroids" mentioning the RWBY Wiki and your Wiki username and I will add you to the group.
