If there are any errors in this list---if I listed you as AWOL but you responded to the rollcall, or if you've changed your mind about being able to be active in the Barracks, contact me as soon as possible.
This is not the last time that the roster will be adjusted to more accurately reflect activity levels. Whenever a roster update occurs, I may check people who I don't recall posting recently and see when their last post in the Barracks was. Anyone who hasn't posted in the Barracks for thirty days or more can be cut from the roster at my discretion. The roster must accurately reflect who is regularly working with the Barracks so we can know who can be called upon for duties, whether whistling stolen flash, helping out newbies, whatever. This will not be done as a punishment, but rather for our collective convenience.
In regards to AnalPenguinFarming's AWOL status and his officer position, I will give him an additional week---til October 9---before assigning the NGDD Liaison position to someone else. I have already received several applications for the position, so if you're interested in having it should APF not return by then, hit me up via PM.
In other news, yes, there seems to be a flood of recent stolen flash lately. While much of it is being flagged successfully, there are some sneaking through. I recommend sharing stolen links with people and organizations that are interested in helping out; however, make sure that you're the first one doing it before posting in the NGPD/NGDD/wherever, so we don't have the same link repeatedly copy/pasted in a thread.
I would also like to remind all members that there is no reason to neglect your whistle, especially in times such as this---enhancing your whistle to Bronze or Silver level can be done very quickly if you're using the abusive review thread in Wi/Ht?, and everyone should eventually be aiming for Deity. The stronger our whistles are, the more stolen flashes will fall before us.
Keep up the good work.
