Its good to hear your views. i want to ask you here. why we leave everything on owner. i been on this site from ages ago. and we always listen that owner will do all the things. why can't we do this? why not any mod? and i prefer to those people who are active on this site. i don't care about the people who inactive as you said... i think there should be a page. where we can share and meet the poet and poetess.. long live for poems and quotes :) |

The reason you should have a FB page is that more than 400 million people use it regularly - it surpasses google as the most visited site on the web and has the amazing ability to 'spider web'. |

The owners of this site aren't even active so leaving it to the members is appropriate. If you want a P&Q page set up let me know and I'll throw it all together and take suggestions from every active member that is for it. That way at least people who would use it can use it. No reason to deny something like that for a site where the owners haven't been on in ages. |

Okay listen, as Britt. has aforementioned we (the mods) have collectively decided it is not necessary at the current moment. It's not up for grabs, it's not going to be done by a member or a mod, it just is out of the question for now. |

We are not in a position to create a page on Facebook for Poems-and-quotes. Your voices have been heard and the case will remain under consideration, but at this time it isn't possible for several reasons. We don't have enough mods to be regulating a PnQ related page outside of PnQ itself. We are not prepared to take on more mods because it is a lengthy, careful process and already there are several relatively new mods. Also, since there is no approval from the site owners, it could be considered a CR infringement and I don't think anyone here is prepared to be fined a ridiculous amount of money or go to court. The more popular the page would become, the riskier it would be for whoever created it. |

By your views only the non-existent owner can do it, thats not productive what so ever or addressing the problem at hand I do not think. |

We do have authority in a sense because if you violate our vote on this matter, you could be penalized on PnQ. This has been proven necessary in the past when members from PnQ began sharing links to hack into threads via Facebook messages. We cannot control what you do outside this website, but we can penalize you for it here. |

Thats on P&Q yes but on Facebook you have no say is what I'm simply saying. There hasn't been a threat that I've seen just an over stepping of boundaries in moderator authority onto another site. I would host a page regardless, because I understand copyright very well and have looked into it. I've worked for games that have constant copyright involvements and a few separate sites. This isn't nearly as hard as them. For example: Some were based on anime games or anime shows. Had to deal with a lot of copyright stuff because of the fine line between fanfiction and copyright. If the moderators wanted it that just furthers a need to have it, but just because they don't I dont think should stop a person. As I said personally I would host it regardless but if you wish to discuss me doing that sure. The only thing that could violate a copyright though would be if the host of the page posted poems under their name instead of the authors. Other than that, it is fair game. |

I think if you want it, go for it. The mods earlier were more saying that they, as representatives of the site, didn't feel like they were in a position of making a facebook page and maintaining/moderating it. That's what the original posts seemed to be asking. None of us feel like it's necessary, but that doesn't mean you're not allowed to make one yourself, providing that you are aware of any potentially problematic copyright issues and don't leech information from the structure or communications of the site. Hooray Facebook. |

I think that they could of been more specific above about it being a community page that doesnt have any possible violations other than posting peoples work as your own which is an obvious no no and it not being an Offical Page which would require the owner to create or for them to give permission to a person for it. Ill make one but as soon as it is made I'll be passing on the admin power of it to the person with the most FB friends that are from P&Q since that makes more sense. |

I'll take the admin power if you all want, that way at least it is still being controlled by one of us moderators of the actual site. |

There can be co-admins. I think there can be quite a few admins actually... Joe, that'd be great if you were one of them. |

Ill send everyone a link. I'll work on everything right now and then send the link out and do everything that was already talked about. I'll fill in everything but a picture since I'm not sure if a screen shot or a custom made image would work best. |

AJ would be a good candidate for designing the PnQ image. |

I already have practice xD. I've done it a lot. It just looks better to quote a mod. than a member. Its not about gaining experience, its about the appearance :P. I was a personal representative of a few games, one a little more major and well known but I won't name them here O-o. Kinda comes off like advertising. |
