Round 4 Calendar, Revised Conduct Code, and Protocol for Leader's Choice Streams

[reading221b-mod.livejournal.com]

Hi all! Here are some more details for round 4, as promised last week.

First of all, we have revised our community guidelines to reflect the ideas and insights generated in our most recent community discussion. Whether you’re new or have been here since the beginning, please take some time to read it. In particular, take a look at the section on nominations, since that’s coming up soon.

As mentioned in the post last week, we’re running two of our streams a little differently this time around. Instead of holding open nominations for fics and voting on them as a comm, we the mods are going to ask for volunteers to lead these two streams (Angst and AU), and the leaders will then choose the fics to discuss. Leaders will be RANDOMLY selected from among those who volunteer. We’ve got full details below, if you’re interested in volunteering.

There’s one other thing we are going to test-drive for this round: you will only be nominate a fic if you are willing to lead the discussion. If you aren’t interested in leading, you can still play a role in the process by seconding others’ nominations, and by voting – and, of course, taking part in the discussions themselves!

We'll see you all soon, we hope!
