In regards to those who say this doesn't address the cause, only the symptoms:
Well, this is true but there is a chicken and egg effect, and reducing the symptoms will reduce the causes.
If female players will go to another kingdom if they don't get respect in the one they are in, then male leaders will have to be competitive with offering rights and such to keep them in.
At the same time, harrasment NEEDS to be dealt with pronto.
There should be a way to take a PM/chat snapshot, that runs on a 60 second counter.
if someone PMs or chats something, and you use the command like
/report accountname a "note goes here"
within 60 seconds, the last 60 secs of communications get sent to an admin in the forums or something, and they would be server side so there would be no tampering. They would have to show both sides of the text to show balance.
If it purges after 60 seconds, it should be light enough not to lag everything down.
Anyway, it would be a good idea on the kingdom
if there is another kingdom added, even if the majority of players aren't female, the leader should be.
And, I am sorry but I have to ask, how much have you discussed with Zen about the rights and such?
I am a Prince, I had to hassle Tseng for remove rights, he forgot a few times, then Zoe and I got them. If I was in your shoes, with a Queen rank and few rights, (say, less than a prince would have) I'd be more than a little angry.
I'd make him pretty aware of what my thoughts on my role should be, and why I think it's a problem.
I'd like to know what has been happening in your discussions with Zen, because I do respect him, but I must say when I compare your rights to the chancellors, that is very imbalanced.
In dustari, Zoe and I (princess and prince) are totally equal in rights.
I agree, that no matter how hard you work, often, female ranks will be passed up for advancement in favor of a male in the same equvielent rank. |
