I've just recently become a Mod elsewhere, so I know there is a steep learning curve.

Slack cut.

But really? teens drinking and modding at the same time? Eeek.

This mass-erasure of shortnotes usually occurs because of Mod Error. Everyone's notes were fine, but somebody hit the wrong button. Poof!

Just re-do them til the next mod fubar.

That's exactly what I want, especially since so many of our members left because of the perceived lack of respect for small dynasties.

Small (really small) dynasties need love too!

A Group of any size whose members click the most should be able to be "best" by some measurement, if not the most universal measurement.

We used to be able to work toward excellence of Member Average, even if we never could be or want to be biggest and best.

This ability has been stripped away from the smaller dynasties because the Big Boys didn't like being beaten anywhere.

That's just not fair.

Here is another country heard from...

I'm emperor of a small dynasty, we linger mid page on the dynasty list before the big changes. We have 4 members and we all click most every day, and contain high averages, no negatives and continually show links and extras from time to time.

I think that dynasty effort should be rewarded. The averages = # of members should be ratio.

So if you got 50 members in a dynasty and only 10 of them actually participate regularly, they got 5 ppl who stay - and a few that click every few days compared to MY small dynasty, of course the WHOLE average for the larger dynasty will be larger because it isn't scaled.

If this is all about fairness, the averages should be scaled on a member to click/link average per dynasty ratio .

This would give smaller dynasties an opportunity to grow and show they are worthy of rewards as well as these top member dynasties.

It's not 'fair' for you to be on top just because you got more bodies in your fort. Skill and effort should honestly have a part in that.

If this isn't about fair, then just disregard all my drivel...


Would that it could be this way! But it doesn't seem to be about "fair."

If we could retain quality allies by clicking just for fun, I can assure you we would!

I suppose we could eliminate the entire alliance system and we could all be on one page, with dynasties meaning nothing but "a bunch of friends," which is what my Ravelry Dynasty is.

I was warned for the above post. I guess "hubris" knows no bounds.

Seriously? is this how you want to run your site, Stan? Freedom of Speech is a right in most civilized countries.

Stan, are you familiar with the word "hubris"?

I'm simply astounded by the bull-headed nature of this reply.

The people in my dynasty are good people, not just a number, and deserve to be treated just as well as any member in a larger dynasty. I'm going to fight for a fairer system for them, and I'm not going to ask them to show more links/click more when they are at a disadvantage and they will never be recognised for their hard work.


Very much this!

Additionally, we attained our goal of a high member average by working hard, not by creating faux dynasties or fake links. We worked for it.

Now, small dynasties have that advantage removed to make the Big 6 happy?

There's no incentive to cooperate with a system that supports bullying, terrorism and blackmailing of smaller dynasties.

This is what I have dealt with as Emp of a smaller dynasty: Make your members show more links or we drop you, Buy VIP for more of your members and make them show more links or we drop you and last stay allied to 1 dynasty or loose another all to turn the smaller allies into semi feeder dynasties.

Stan you knew this is going on and yet you keep supporting the largest dynasties?

You know I am fully aware of the situation on main and what that means for the site, I mailed you some suggestions a month ago, and I have no problem with showing a link on main if need be, but why should I help when you keep showing I don't count as long as I am not in a large dynasty?


I totally agree with this comment! I've been hearing of decisions made here in the forums by the "Big 5" emperors without any input from smaller dynasties. I was not aware that there was any discussion of the current changes even going on. Could we not have been invited to participate???

My dynasty is small by design. We come, first, from another website, ravelry.com and most of our members are knitters. We don't necessarily WANT more members, but as our allies grow (which is their right) we are forced to drop allies so they can keep growing.

Instead of helping the "big 5" grow bigger, why not help the smaller dynasties grow if they want to?

And all these changes were made in response to CHEATING by some of the Big 5??? Why are those dynasties not targeted for punishment? Are feeder dynasties bad? if they are, the creators should be punished. Period.

Are emperors bullying? yes. IMO, they should be punished by short-term removal from office for a first offense, and all the way up to having their dynasties disbanded.

I'm feeling very small and unimportant and disregarded by the Yarolds leadership.

I don't think anyone works harder for their dynasty than Jeanne. The priorities you have set mean hard working=best cheaters.

That's just wrong.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll grumble a BIT less as I reconstruct my note, knowing it wasn't just a capricious whim by a Mod.

Bored Mods?

Why is a note "okay but might be wiped"? Either its okay or its not.

And what triggers mass wiping of the notes of ours and many other dynasties when other dynasties' longer notes are left alone?

Is there an announcement somewhere of these new HATs? I'd like to warn our Dynasty members to look out for them.
