"Councils aren't just one person, instead, it's a whole team." - We have 5 admins. (Well, 4, but 1 spot is open)

Resolve fights fast - Start poll, get votes, tally votes, make adjustments. We do that. That's about as fast as you can get.

Demote users - We have demotion procedures and have removed staff.

A tutorial - I said I don't see the problem with this and kinda agree. If you or anyone else (including staff) write a tutorial and propose it to the wiki the same way as a rule, and it wins, the tutorial can become official.

Changing the welcome message - I see no problem with changing it to include links to the rules and such to help the new user.

Change community message - If more help pages are made, they can be linked there.

This council you described is within our current council's abilities.

I'm sorry if I offended you by joking about you spelling. It was not my intent.

I did propose being Head Admin. Nothing has changed other than the name. We currently do not have any rules/qualifications for promoting another staff member to bureaucrat. If everyone agrees on some rules/qualifications for it, then a staff member can run for bureaucrat.

Whether or not a staff member takes action outside of chat is their fault, not the system's. They chose not to try and fix the problem. The system we have is 99.98% the same as yours. 0.01% of that is just missing stuff like tutorials. You have no way of proving staff won't do the same thing and debate endlessly on chat.

If you give me some of the users who are breaking rules and what the rules they're breaking are, I'll look into it. If a staff member isn't doing anything, it might just mean they don't know.

It's impossible to fix every problem with something. Some might get fixed forever, some might get fixed for awhile and return, some might get ignored until they are a bigger problem, and some might just get pushed aside to fix other problems.

With Joke OCs, some rules are needed, but the problem is defining a joke OC. Only the creator can do that. If we want to enforce rules over Joke OCs, it has to only be those OCs that are called jokes by the creator. If you or anybody else want to propose rules that don't limit creativity, go ahead.
