This must be addressed.
As you may have seen in the YWSCon thread, I am horrified and outraged at the treatment those NOT in the northern hemisphere experience. More particularly, Australia and New Zealand who are consistently ranked highly in the location stats for members.
WHY is there such a disregard and inconsideration toward these members, and I may say toward these moderators? I'm always responding to things late because you work during times that are entirely unacceptable for Australian standards.
I'm not going to stand or sit for it. It's unbearable after 8 years of being on the YWS and I think it's high time that we altered the YWS to be more suitable for us. I propose that we lock the chatroom when not during Australasian appropriate times and that we increase discussion of alternate media, from anime, kdrama and indigenous people's writing. We should clearly celebrate holidays appropriate to the "down under" such as ANZAC day and the Queen's Birthday - this second will also be appropriate for other Commonwealth countries.
Shape up, guys, or I'm going to ship out.
