(NO house moves currently being accepted) From: Fire-Valkyrie Subject: MRB Worldbuilder rep needed The Mall Review Board was implemented about two years ago to help solve conflicts between creators and Mall/DH staff. It consists of three members: one from Security, one from CERB and one Worldbuilder. As my life is about to change rather drastically and I doubt I will have much time for CT in the next 6 months or so, I feel it's time for me to step down as Worldbuilder rep on the MRB and let someone else have a go. Please contact me via inbox if you have questions about workload, type of cases etc. To be eligible you should: - Have a Worldbuilder title/skills - Know VRML well (both handcoding and program experience is best) - Be able to stay objective and fair, at all times - NOT currently be employed in the Mall or DH Contact myself or MrPhillips if you want to apply (MrP's got the final word).

CYBERTOWN AND PHONICS
In 1996, an article by Tracy Sherwood entitled, "PHONICS: THE RIGHT WAY & THE WRONG WAY" was printed in a Washington newspaper where it was picked up by Cybertown and published on the Internet. Almost immediately, this article hit the top ten search finds with the keyword phonics. It spread to other major search engines and has remained in the top 30 ever since This article has changed the face of phonics. Nearly every phonics promotion and materials has based its techniques on the philosophy introduced in this article and from Tracy's phonics program materials. Tracy has written a new article entitled, "THE NEW PHONICS" in which she credits Cybertown's part in this success and has kindly made it available to Cybertown for publication.

AMNESTY AND EVIDENTIARY TRIBUNAL
In honor of ex-Mayor Flyby, we have created a limited Amnesty for the majority of previously banned ex-members. We have also created an Evidentiary Tribunal recourse line for any banned ex-members who feel that their bans were unjust. Details and links can be found at the new Permanent Ban Recourse section of the UBP.
UNIFIED BAN POLICY
The purpose of the UBP is to clarify the points made in the Cybertown Constitution so that there is an understandable set of consequences for common in fractions. The intention is not in any to restrict freedoms but rather to make participation in the site enjoyable and safe for all.
Please make sure that you are aware of the rules and security procedures by visiting The Cybertown Unified Ban Policy.
OFFICIAL RULES OF CONDUCT
The Cybertown Constitution, the site's Legal Notices, and Unified Ban Policy(updated link) will all be enforced swiftly and thoroughly.
ATTENTION, CYTONIANS!
No one in Cybertown needs anyone's Cybertown password for anything ever. You will never be required to give out your password for a Cybertown job. Whoever asks for it should be reported to Security immediately!
It has come to the attention of Cybertown Staff that some people are being told that in order to have a job in Cybertown they must give out their Cybertown login password so that they can be given access rights to do their job. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Your login password is yours and yours alone. Please DO NOT give out your password to anyone in Cybertown for any reason. Any legitimate person who wants to hire you for a job in Cybertown does not need your login password for any reason.
Any legitimate Cybertown or Blaxxun staff person will never ask you for your password. If anyone asks you for your login password on condition of employment, please report that person's nickname to Cybertown Security immediately along with a chat log if you have it.
It's prudent to change your password frequently. To change your password: at login click on the "Change Your Password" link on the right.
Thank you for helping us keep Cybertown safe and secure!

HELP GUIDEUseful new tech info: at this time, Netscape 6 won't work with the 2D chat in Cybertown seemingly due to the new way this Netscape version handles Java. A successful action to get 3D to work is by taking the plugins (npbx3d.dll, npbx3dpro.dll and npbxpro.dll) out of Netscape Communicator's plugin folder and putting them in Netscape 6's plugin folder. Make sure Netscape is shut down before doing that though!
The Cybertown Help Files are comprehensive and contain the information you need to survive and flourish in Cybertown. Put together by Tin-Leon with the seal of approval from Red5, Cybertown's Community Operations Manger, and reviewed by the City Guides, it is here for your use.
