Comments on: Dear Guild Masters http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/12/04/dear-guild-masters/ It's the end of the world as you know it - brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:14:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Larísa http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/12/04/dear-guild-masters/#comment-5898 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:35:12 +0000 http://gnomeaggedon.wordpress.com/?p=5428#comment-5898 well. but reading through a feedreader you miss the comments and stuff… It’s just an observation. Work-friendly layout must be kept very simple and void of colorful screenshots. Tobold is a fine example.

don’t think many people realise how hard emploers feel about non-work and in particular WoW browsing on work time/resources.

At least you can read me through a less obvious feedreader, and I’m a novelty.

Guild websites on the other hand should be essential reading for any guild member, so should have flexibilty for all

My only issue with it was I was at lunch, but they didn’t care. Took my badge and told me to leave.

Don’t you want us to read this at work or what? (The inn is the same, but I genereally at least use much less screenshots than you do..)

Immediate manager said “final warning”

So job still in place (just) but WoW will never be seen

Blog Azeroth is an example of a configurable forum theme

No graphics, just text.

You can leave that open accidentally without drawing every eye in your building.

You are right of course, other sites would grab attention too, but WoW has a reputation for anti-productivity… Which I guess I actively support by producing content that people read at work…

/bad Gnome!
