[08] Attention: everybody

 Ok, no jumping down my throat for this one.  It's just a suggestion of the friendly variety.  Don't buzz on my optimism.  

I think people on both sides of the inmate/warden line have expressed a lot of frustration with the whole lack of organized information / response time deal around here.  Apparently people have tried to organize response teams or whatever before, and it's just never worked out well.  I'm not suggesting something like that.  

But I do think the barge could benefit from even having some kind of weekly bulletin type thing where anyone: inmate or warden alike, can comment and read issues of concern. I already know some of you might be thinking 'well that's why we have these journals. People should just read everything.'  Big shocking newsflash of the day: not everyone does.  A lot of the inmates - and sadly some of the wardens probably - don't care about every single piece of juicy gossip going around, so mining out the important stuff when it gets lost in responses to people's announcements can be difficult.

So I'm just saying maybe we could just throw up the 'Bulletin Board' every week, and people could bullet point anything of vital import to the ship as a whole.  Like 'oh yeah, someone died last week and so and so are working on dealing with that.'   I don't really see a reason to keep it locked to wardens, especially since the whole point here is that we're trying to help people.  Not keep them in the dark or treat them like the bad guys.  Obviously, some stuff has to be kept on the down low, just because someone might actually be a threat - but there's still plenty that they should -know- things are being done about.  

It's just an idea.  I'd be willing to field the bulletin posts if people agree to it.   And I'm not saying it will fix the ... problems with immediate response to things, but it should at least help allay the image that no one is doing anything to help people around here.  And communication's always a positive.  

So.  Thoughts?

This sounds like a great idea.

You really think so? It sort of came out of a talk I was having with Harry. I can't see how it would hurt, at least.

[identity profile] willkissawookie.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I do. Communication can help both sides of the divide, I think. As long as personal information isn't being given out, I don't see it as a problem either.

And I can delete anything that breaks that rule.

Yes, could something be done about the deplorable absence of decent Roman food?

I've ben raising it for weeks and absolutely no action's been taken. It's really quite disgraceful... Do something about it, won't you?

Wardens don't really have any say over the menu selection, sorry.

Trust me on that one.

Then there's very little point in this exercise of yours, is there?

I mean, if you can't take care of a little thing like cuisine, what hope is there...?

[identity profile] i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I think this is an excellent idea.

[identity profile] willkissawookie.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds reasonable to me.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
The point is to accomplish the things that are actually our job, lady.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Glad to hear it. I don't think we've met yet?

[identity profile] veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. And at least one of you works there. What of it?

I think this is a good idea.

That's because I'm new. Hello!

I'm Jarod.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Buffy. Sorry if I missed your hey-hello post. Like I said up there, lots of traffic.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Great. The more people who would actually use it? The better.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh.] Fine. Well hopefully they'll see this then.

[identity profile] veni-vidi-valui.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent!

I await the results with interest!

It's a pretty cool thought, if you can keep up with it.

I think it might be good to work it out a little more before you start implementing it. Some inmates' progress might be damaged by public announcements and some wardens might prefer certain things to be quiet.

[identity profile] i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's all right. It wasn't particularly eventful.

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Warden? Inmate?

[identity profile] cuzitswrong.livejournal.com 2010-08-07 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I figure if I'm going to miss a week, I can just ask somebody else to take over for a time or two.

Warden. Jarod DiCaprio.

Yeah, I guess if you do it every week, it shouldn't be too bad.. A death, a few attempted beatings, and maybe a missing inmate or two.
