Chat Logs - Moderator Thread

[Pi dArtois]

I'm going to see how this thread works out, and whether it acts as the heads up I hope it will. The chat mod & Developers have access to chat logs.

When chats start to slow up, the chat mod archives, then clears logs so it keeps chats running tickety-boo. However, we do try to keep RP logs longer so players can access them to pull RPs to post. I thought a thread might be a good idea, to give people a heads up when that may happen.

Chat Archive Schedule

OOC, CN & Phone call Logs

• These are cleared each month, with an archive copy kept so we will have access to all logs as normal. They'll just be archived off-site

RP Logs

• Scheduled to clear around the four month mark so they remain available to owners of buildings to pull off for posting purposes.
• These will be archived too, so even you find logs are not there, there should be an archive copy

I expect it's the RP copy of logs which people will miss when they're eventually archived, so I'm going to use this thread as a heads up to players about when the next archive is scheduled. We're going to see how this goes.

If there's been a lot of chat RP, sometimes chats bog down sooner and it may need to be cleared earlier. For now we'll clear every four months and see how we go.

David cleared logs due to bug, September 2016 - no logs were saved at this time.

Next Archive

• Middle January 2017

The plan is to give a one week heads up in this thread before they're cleared.

For those who asked where this thread was. Usually I only have to clear logs once each four-six months (depending on traffic), so expect a clean up in about four/six months from now, since David has done the super clear of them this month.
