Jalisco Mexico Landrace empty spots to be picked by random number generator

Here’s an idea. But it would have to be adopted and used by everyone to be effective.

Set up the wiki as normal. Add a link at the beginning of the wiki to the “Wiki Rulz” thread. Maybe put the link BOLD. This gives each member an opportunity to view how to use the wiki.
Then, if a member screws up the wiki list, he/she is excluded from that particular strain. It is not real hard to see who screwed it up. I bet after a time or two of losing out on quality beans, those problems would be a thing of the past.

Problem is some look at it like a competition. If they won’t read the warning messages on their screen I don’t think they will read wiki rules. This is going to be a tough love approach going forward. I agree @BigMike55 , once a few feel the conciquences of their actions it should alter peoples attitudes. :crossed_fingers: Besides, other than screwing over fellow OGers these people are creating a ton of unnecessary work for the action group. That is just not acceptable.

We have the links in the OP and/or sign up post they have to read before signing up. The last run we put it in bold right by the wiki edit.

There should be a (small) consequence if the rules are broken, then.

That is what the rules state. You just lose out on the run you mess up on. We haven’t discussed no beans for anything yet.

Just don’t sign up others and don’t overwrite and all is good

I would consider it to be fully acceptable if I were banned from further participation in a thread’s wiki if I thoughtlessly, accidentally, or hurriedly, committed a post which overwrote other users posts… I don’t mind sitting in the corner on timeout if I make a bad :sweat_smile:

One stick, in an ocean of carrots, isn’t a bad idea at all :joy:

If you make a post with a wiki for TL3 and another wiki post for TL2, instead of 150 spots at the same time avatar38|nullxnull they would be just 75, less risky for the Regulars to be overwritten (we’re only 145) and easier to follow the editions made. We would see who respect the rules and who don’t much easily … beer3|nullxnull

The thing is that both wiki’s were clearly marked anyways. This may be the miss-understanding of one’s user level :man_shrugging:

IF the OGgorithm (server algorithm) can eventually allow for wikis that are only editable by user level… NOW THAT would solve A LOT of the issues. :+1:

TL3 can only access TL3
TL2 can only access TL2, etc.

My dream would be to have a wiki that only allows one person at a time. When you click edit you open a draft, if that draft is open nobody else would be able to open a second draft till the first was saved. Now that would be a game changer.

Yes, but there’s only a single button for both wikis, so when someone edits it blocks both. With two buttons you cut by half the chances for two or more persons editing at the same time … ejem|nullxnull

I also thought about that, but that way one person can block for hours a wiki if he wants to do so … :roll_eyes:

2min edit time limit? That way anyone in the wiki has to get their shit done and saved or it boots 'em out and leaves everything unedited?

That is true but we could figure that out on the back end. I am sure there is a log in the system that would identify who clicked edit. Also if that were to happen a TeamOG member could just close and open the wiki kicking them out.

ANYONE with a puppet account can do that … :joy:

Or a third party like this if vetted safe and not requiring any log-in’s:

Are you part of a prayer circle? :joy:

Yes and they would be identified. There is going to be some issue found no matter the method but I think malicious sock accounts holding up a wiki would be far smaller in numbers than overwrites by a flash mob all trying to join a seed run at the same time.
