New Transport Log info

The New Transport log is up! This month we have a slight change, though. We'd like to ask the players of current characters to please keep your root comments confined to the various groups and organizations that set up root comments to greet new characters.

We highly encourage tagging around here, but since it's a log meant for new characters specifically, we ask that they be the ones to set up root threads to the entry. This is mostly so that when they're accepted, new characters aren't automatically pushed onto the 2nd and 3rd pages of the log. They're supposed to be the highlight of this log, after all!

Additionally, we encourage groups, stands, or anything catering to the new arrivals to have threads! Threads like that are fantastic, and give people a little extra structure to work with. Please comment to this entry if you would like a mod comment to set up your group's thread, using the form provided. That won't apply to this month's log, this month groups are welcome to comment anywhere they like. We'll make use of this system for next month, using anyone signed up on this page.

Thanks!

Comment with this information to have a mod-account comment for your group next month:

Is it still okay for groups to have starter comments underneath their main comment? I mean when you have the main group comment and then say clinic workers or whatever comment under that for newbies to respond to specific workers etc, or would you rather all starting comments were newbies and the workers for whatever group just jump in and reply to the newbies?

THIS IS PROBABLY STUPIDLY SPECIFIC i just wanted to check :'|

Yeah that's totally fine! Anything goes within the group subthreads, we're just talking about comments to the entry itself.

Liking this change a lot! But wondering if the mods might consider posting a catchall neutral root thread in the future? For folks who might want to set up a one-time thread for some specific new arrivals purpose but who aren't involved with any groups and/or whose activities at the time aren't related to any of the groups'?

We should be able to swing something like that for sure!
