Site Update: Some Minor Changes
By Tris | Categories: website related

We have done a healthy bit of work on the site today, following our recent change of site layout. Here’s the scoop!

1. We have made a change to our disclaimer’s copyright clause, which used to say that the authors of this site are the owners of the intellectual right to all comments posted here. There has been some concern with this policy, and we agree with your feedback. Your words are your own, so the policy now says that the comment authors retain the intellectual rights to their posts. Please read the new written Disclaimer for the details.

2. We have been trying to figure out a way to let our users contribute articles and ideas without compromising the scope of the project. Our solution has taken shape today in the form of the new Topic Ideas post. Please go have a look and read the blurb there for more info.

3. The last change being implemented tonight may or may not stick around. That is the Useful Posts topic which is set to sticky. That means that it will always appear in the spot of the most recent post on the home page. I have put the title of this topic in fancy double-brackets to indicate its possible temporary-ness :) Please let us know what you think of it.

Also, please note that with the change of layout, the post author is no longer visible on the Home page or in our posts. We are hard at work on fixing this with a team of tall beautiful mad scientists from the future, so stay tuned!

As always, please direct discussion of these changes and all other site-related feedback to the Site Feedback topic.

Thank you all for your input and patience as we work out the rough edges in this site. I believe there is a lot of potential here for the enlightenment and empowerment of trans people and our partners, so your involvement is invaluable and appreciated.

Thank you :)

Update: 11:30 am

- The “Useful Posts” topic has been sacked in favour of making said posts into pages, and reorganising the top menu.

- Post author indicators are still being worked on by mad scientists.

Read This Before Leaving a Comment

This website is part of a research project, intended to gain knowledge and understanding, for the site owners, of certain topics for an eventual publication. The understanding gained from the discussion of ideas may be used in publication, however, everything said in comment contributions remains the intellectual right of the contributor. No text from the comments will be quoted, cited, or copied without direct permission from the author of the comment. In these cases, we will either properly cite, or protect the identity of, the comment author in question, depending on their preference.

We do ask that you leave an email address at which you can be contacted, when you comment. Email addresses are visible to the site owners only, to be used for site-related contact purposes, and will not be shared with any other party for any reason. If a user posts a comment without an email address, this will be taken as full permission to quote said comment; and in such cases, the identity of the comment author will be protected, with an alias used in citation.

The protection of our users is of paramount importance to us, and we intend in all cases to protect the identities of our contributors. In cases where we ask permission to quote a user in a publication, that user will be asked if they wish their real name to be used in citation, or if they would prefer an alias be used. In every case regarding exposure of identity, we will adhere to the wishes of the user.
