This is the basic outline.

Everyone interested will be invited. I only want a few people helping teach or we'll end up with 7 people saying the same thing again. This isn't story-time. Whoever is teaching will be in a chat together to avoid talking over each other. It seemed to work well the last time while we were in vent. Everyone else can be muted.

We'll meet on Ventrillo at 10:30pm EST. A server lockdown from 10:45 to 11:45 would be appreciated.

I want everyone's tag in their comment so we know who we're dealing with.

For starters, e's. We'll be discussing how to use admin chat and how they should or shouldn't be admining. We'll also quickly go over ban requesting. After that the e's can leave or just stick around quietly.

eGO's are next. Basically, we'll be explaining their position on the servers. They're in charge but need to be in an advisory position when there are eG's present. Again, this is very straightforward simple stuff.

It should be close to 10:45 now so depending on how many eG's show up we'll start sending them into the servers. Either I or one of the other teachers will start off explaining console and set up their 2, and only 2, binds. We'll test run the binds and whenever someone is finished I want them kicked so everyone has a chance to actually use one of the commands. Try to keep them using the admin chat functions so they get in the habit of it. Other than that, between ventrillo and the server we can run them through scenarios. As in names, language, spamming, attitude, disrespect. I plan to be on the server and let someone else continue on ventrillo since the eGOs there are probably more interested in having their questions answered. It'll also give the e's that are still there a chance to speak. I'll try not to be over the top on the server. My stringing 13 racial slurs in a row isn't really necessary to get the point across. But names like F[_]ck1ng.. seem to be less obvious to some people. We'll probably end up going over the language issue again since it's very confusing for some of our admins, but I'd like to stay away from it and the hundreds of stories people have about back in the day when they banned someone.
 
one thing you might want to cover..... When the admin was down yesterday, I saw one instance of an eG asking if admin access was down in pub chat.... not a big thing but there are people that once they see NO ADMIN they think it is time to release their inner dumb-arse
 
I'll be sure to mention it, although I have a feeling the people who are still doing that are the same ones who haven't read the several threads about it and have been too busy to make it to the several meetings it was mentioned in.
 
Will try to be there, but I am on Eastern time and get up at 5am during the 1st part of the week.
 
I'm an unhappy camper. :( I have to be at chorale tonight, so I won't be there; but I want to learn SO much how to admin properly!
 
i will be stuck at work during these times but if someone wants to im me over
yahoo = magemann2000
aim = cmsnocsteve
msn = [email protected]

you can give me a play by play or somethin or leave notes over steam for when i get home
 
Ill probably go... this is for e's, eG's, and eGO's right? and this must be different than the pm i received telling about the class on tuesday...
 
There was a mass pm earlier about the sunday meetings, which will probably become weekly if it all works out. This Tuesday meeting will probably have different times from week to week so we can catch those people who have odd schedules and fill in the gaps from our sunday sessions. If you can't make it, don't worry about it. We'll be having a great many of these in the weeks to come to catch everyone up to date before scheduling the mandatory admin training sessions for new eGs.
 
Um, what time is that in Australian East Coast? Assuming it hasnt finished already... <.<
