In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

There aren't enough praises in the world I'd like to give to wonderful coders for the Proboards community. The following have contributed to World Destiny in some way: W3 Schools for countless how-tos and countless of other souls who have helped get WD up to where it is.

I don't have as much authority as the staff does. While I do not wish to assert what authority I don't have, I would like to speak my mind. Perhaps to throw out an option to be either headed or ignored.
Now, I understand the natural order of science: Things go from order to ruin, and I do believe we are seeing the beginning effects of chaos here.
I, for one, like the idea of cutting strings, "cracking the whip", so to speak. And I do understand that it isn't easy. Undoubtedly there will be flaming from angry illliterates, but that isn't important. What is important is that the level of respect and reverence for WD will be raised a couple notches.
I think about discipline in this site, and I see a vision. Not of what World Destiny is. Hardly even what it was. I see a new World Destiny. A better World Destiny... And a stronger one. The more 'weeding out' that is done here (unappreciated as it may be), the more it will give a chance for literates and civil RPers to form a common brotherhood here once again. And I do believe we have strayed somewhat from the Community mindset we once had. Or moreover, now it feels forced, where in days past we were united.
Now I know that cracking the whip will not ensure perfection here, but I do think that it would take us on the path to recovery. As wounds go, if unaided, they will cause the body only to bleed out and die off. But with timely care, the body may recover, and in the instance of broken bones, it recovers stronger than it was before the break. In other words, should the staff even want or find it in their abilities to start their whips a'cracking, then a timeline should be set in which the rules will be enforced.
This is good for two reasons:
1) Setting a workeable, visible goal usually fuels the drive to make it happen in human beings, and;
2) People are trained to take things better with a warning. For instance, a child on the playground behaves much better if you warn them that you have to go in 10 minutes, give them 5, then tell them they have 5 minutes. This adapts their minds to be ready for the impending change. I think the same would go well, should cracking down on this site happen, with an openly declared deadline so that the members are not only ready for the changes, but are able to embrace them, whether they agree to the terms or not.
I kinda agree to a point... the problem isn't that people aren't doing their job, they're just being too lenient. What's needed is a harsher enforcement of the rules.
I myself have overstepped my bounds a couple of times, and in those times I have apologiezed. But not once was I given a proper warning by the staff, I just got a -1 to karma...
Basically, a bit less wrist slapping, and a bit more blunt force trauma is needed. That should clear most of this up.
Oh, that includes a certain someone on the first page... I do believe that being rude to others is against the rules, as was pointed out to me a while back...
