Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

Check out the results below, and be sure to tune in for a Mixlr Broadcast where I'll discuss the results with Lethen and Malashaan at 11am EST on 2 January! (I'll link to the Showreel version of the results here once it is uploaded.)

We had 47 respondents overall, as the poll ran for the greater part of a week. As a general comment, a few of the short-answer questions are not included in the public posting of this poll as that information was not meant to be subject to public discussion or debate. If there is something important that you said that you want said here, please let me know, and I can re-edit accordingly if it is deemed appropriate and relevant.

Other - Me personally? No. But I'm sure there are some who find certain topics (e.g. more explicit discussions of sexual acts, even if laden with inuendo) as inappropriate.

Thanks to all of those that participated by taking the poll, and I look forward to discussing these topics with all of you in the coming weeks. My PM box (and DM channel on Discord) is always open if you have ideas on how to improve things for the community. :)

For those that want to listen, the broadcast with Lethen and I is on the Showreel here. Carrot plans to clean it up a bit over the weekend, as he has audio skills I do not, but the content is there at least.

In the meantime, however, my apologies for having my Mixlr program freeze up towards the end, so the standard "end of show, sign off" didn't happen. Fortunately, it cut out after everything was mostly done anyhow, but still frustrating.

Thanks again to everyone that participated by taking the poll - and thanks to those who were in the Mixlr chat with us this morning as well. :)

Thanks for doing this, Mouse.

Of particular interest to me is the concern about sexual content given the wide range of age groups we have here (as young as 13 to multiple members in their 30s). I don't think I touched on this myself in any of my comments, but I think it's something worth discussing. As older members will recall, we had this problem in #EuroChat on Skype, which ultimately led to HEM and I forming a new "official" chat that excluded the person primarily responsible for the explicit content (which was, imo, worse than what we see on Discord now). We established a "PG-13" rule for the chat, which while still subjective, created a nice guideline/community standard. People were usually good about dialing it back if asked, and I only recall having to ban one person from the chat after we implemented that rule.

I have not personally been uncomfortable with anything on Discord or mixlr (though I hadn't used either extensively for several months until recently), but maintaining a certain community standard--with or without a law on the books--is important. People can't shape their behavior and discussions to be appropriate if we don't decide as a community what we consider acceptable vs. what we consider crossing the line.

I agree with the above Sopo. We need to figure out and enforce community standards consistently, especially when you consider that we have many more "young" members than originally thought. It applies imo to Discord and Mixlr.

Sorry for double-posting but Mouse found this earlier and its (1) from almost a year ago exactly so that's interesting and (2) extremely relevant.

Going off of what Kounelli just said, we need to also remember that there's more to regulating obscenity and such than whether it meets our RP laws' standards or meets a threshold that warrants intervention in the name of enforcing the ToS/ToU. There are a wide range of ages on this forum, and we need to keep that in mind. Maybe a thread may not be inappropriate enough to warrant Admin or AG intervention, but it may be inappropriate for our younger users...or if a decent portion of users find something offensive, regardless of age, then perhaps we should address it.

I can't really add much - its late and I'm very tired - but I think the best approach is a case-by-case basis with a broad scope for the administrators to use if we decide its best to step in. Heck, we could always take future threads like the one that sparked this discussion; move them to a private forum that can be seen by admins, the AG, etc.; discuss the thread; and go from there. If the thread is deemed okay, put it back where we found it. If its a problem and may constitute admin or AG action, take those actions.

A few comments mention Euro After Dark. Now, I'll admit I would need to listen to the broadcasts again, but I feel fairly confident that at least in the shows I've participated in (most of them) that we stated a disclaimer toward the beginning. Not boilerplate, but at least a general heads up that EAD skews more mature, nd sometimes heavily so.
