Hello everyone.
We are now starting the process of reviewing, cleaning up and adding valuable posts, articles and discussions by members of our community to the Joy of Satan Library. I am making this announcement to involve all who wish to chime in and be involved in this process.
Before anything else I will address the elephant in the room; yes, I am a very vocal and confrontational person and yes, I've probably had disagreements with you personally. Understand however, these small disputes do not affect me personally to the point where I develop a bias against your valid and meaningful messages. Much less taint the quality of my work.
This means I will not discard or ignore any of the many excellent posts made by people who I personally disagree with or even dislike. My personal opinions on things or people do not hold any weight in my work for Satan. I am entirely objective in this task. And leave any personal feelings or bias out the door when doing this.
As for the meat of things, here's how things will work:
- I will be scouring the forums for the many useful posts that have been made by members specifically. This means I will not be working on sermons made by clergy as this is already being worked on. My focus at this moment is content created by MEMBERS.
- Once I find an article or thread that contains valuable information that is not yet in the library, I will begin cleaning it up, focusing primarily on correcting grammatical errors, formatting the text for more comfortable reading, and minor embellishments to the writing.
- I will also search for replies or similar articles that discuss the same topic, and if possible incorporate them into a single cohesive article, crediting everyone's contributions to this specific piece at the end.
If there are posts or articles that you have read or created yourself, which you believe contain important information and should be reviewed, feel free to e-mail me and bring it to my attention, and I will have a look at it. Simply provide the title and link to the post in question, and why you believe it is important. You will be notified of whether or not the article in question will be cleaned up and added to the library.
Due to time constraints and the magnitude of the work ahead, there is no room for appeal and decisions are final. Please do not take it personally.
In the case of a post you've made yourself, please be sure to mention this, and I will as a courtesy also notify you of what has been changed, edited, added or removed from your original message. If you so choose, you may request to elaborate further on your message, although this means work on it will be halted and another will be worked on in it's place, and working on yours will be resumed only after the others are completed.
After the article has been cleaned up and is ready to be uploaded to the library, any further requests to update or change the message will be declined. Please make sure that you've fully elaborated and updated your message before sending it to me!
If you link a post and you wish to elaborate on it, simply send the insight you wish to add between "[ ]". You can also point out replies you believe contain useful and relevant information, though this is largely unnecessary as I will be reading them and checking for this regardless.
Here's an example of what this e-mail should look like:
[email protected]
There is also an on-going open discussion started by Shadowcat about this here:
https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=355024#p355024
Please do not feel discouraged if an article you've written ends up not being added. All of the time you take to give advice, insight and personal experience is very appreciated, not just by all of us but also by the Gods. But of course, we cannot put the many thousands of posts in the forums into the library, and we must avoid adding articles that repeat information already present in the library.
Also, many articles address current trends, for example if you wrote a very good article with valuable advice, but this is only really relevant to a situation or condition we experienced years ago, and isn't really relevant to the current times naturally there is no need to add this to the library. This does not make it useless or worthless, just that it's out of touch with present times. These are some examples of reasons as to why something may or may not be added, and it's not always because a post is of poor quality.
There will inevitably be high quality posts which will end up not being added for different reasons, and this does not mean they are bad or useless in any way.
I look forward to hearing from you and reviewing your writings.
To celebrate and show appreciation for the inputs and contributions of all of you, articles approved and added will be announced here.
My most sincere gratitude to everybody who takes the time and effort to write articles with the intent to help your fellow SS and expand the Library, even those who do not get added for one reason or another. You are most loved, blessed and appreciated. And we are blessed to have you.
Thank you.
Please use this thread only for inquires or feedback on this proceeding, this is intended as an announcement and not as an open discussion. If you wish to discuss and bring to light posts, articles or essays by members, please do so in the thread I've linked to: https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=355024#p355024.
Have a wonderful day!
