• Miscellaneous Changes: Simplified wording of Flaming/Harassing Members and Alt Account Sections
  

• Necroing old threads: This rule is sort of outdated so it needed updating. I deleted most of this section since it's redundant now because threads automatically lock after a month. I kept the part that said that if someone is looking to revisit a topic, they should make a new thread about it.
  

• Shitposting: Added these parts below. My goal is to have harmless shitposting be less of a crime. This still means no obvious shitposts in staff apps or anything serious, those need to have a +1 or -1 and I don't really care what you say after. If you're looking to give serious feedback you should say something meaningful because that's a major factor in decisions for staff apps/unbans and should be a majority of posts on those threads, as it is now. A majority of shitpost threads should remain in the shitposting section to not clutter the recent threads, but occasional joke threads are fine as long as people like engaging with them. 
  

• Reputation Manipulation: Added a recent example of what can be considered reputation manipulation. Intent and context matter for these. I also added that not every manipulation scenario will be spelled out. New types of manipulation will appear and web staff can use their discretion to handle it. 
  

• I sent Dinkleberg a transparent logo to fix the current one(located in the top left). Some of you may have noticed if you change the theme or color of that area then the logo will still have an ugly white background. I will update everyone on when that is actually fixed.
  

• I've reworked the Web Mod role and adjusted some of its permissions. I took away some of the administrative aspects that should be reserved for Admins+ only. Web Mod will maintain its role in voting on unban requests. I did this with the intent of recruiting 2 Web Mods to help me with the moderation aspects of the forums.
  
•  It should be noted that Web Mod is not a traditional "mod" rank since it's the only rank within Web Staff that isn't Admin. So it's more of a mid-level community-wide position focused on the forums for veteran members of the community who can take the role seriously and successfully carry out the duties when necessary.
  

•  With that said, first I'd like to say thanks everybody and say that I think I want to nominate this award to my reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton @"real (2)". Congrats! 
  
• I expect that there may be some opposition to this first appointment. I ask that you not make this thread into an argument about that. If there are any concerns, reach out to me. This decision was not a rash choice, lots of time and consideration went into it. I felt that Laced will take the role seriously and can successfully carry out the duties when necessary. Again, see above for Web Mod changes. 
  
• The second Web Mod is still TBD.
  

• I have been kicking around the idea of adding Member, Master, and Regular roles to the forums with icons. This would be a fully automated system, so it'd be simple and not a lot of work. So that may be cool.  I thought this could possibly be a neat idea to add more color and pizzazz to the forums to make it look less boring. Thoughts?
