What is Zedkins

Zedkins is a group of Zedlings, players of the Zurvival server. They are voted into the group by the players and they decide on and raise community issues to Zedwick.
Every Zedling can join the discussion on the monthly meetings and raise topics of their own to be discussed, like propositions for projects or issues with plugins, or possible improvements to the server.
Pre-Agendas, where members excuse themselves if they cannot make it and every Zedling can raise topics before hand are posted on the forums.
Zedkins Seconds (the meeting's notes) are posted on the Wiki.
Zedkins meets at the Zedkins hall in region Zen, if not specified other wise.

Code of Conduct

1. All Zedkins members shall follow all server rules, and are generally expected to act as model community members. Zedkins members shall discuss topics in a respectful and civil manner. Any targeted insults or negative comments toward other members or guests will not be tolerated.
2. Zedkins members are expected to focus on the topics at hand, and are encouraged to guide members back on topic if the conversation starts to wander or to move things along if the conversation starts to stagnate.
3. Disruptive or annoying behavior such as making multiple entities, (firing several arrows or constantly dropping items) annoying other members, or generally being disruptive during the meeting is highly discouraged. The Host most issue a warning to the disruptive member first, but if this behavior is continued, a strike may be issued by the Host.
4. Unless it's a special meeting and approved prior, Zedkins meetings are not to be longer than 2 hours, including breaks. Everything else will be postponed for the next meeting or discussed on the forum.

Zedkins will focus on the Zurvival Community and organize projects around the Nether, the End and the newest region. Furthermore, changes of the server and other news brought by Zedwick will be a focus of the Zedkins. The Zedkins is a great way to bring your issues and problems to Zedwick directly, so he can promise to 'look into it'.
