So I've came to realize a few weeks ago that the forums are a big clusterfuck and just now decided to make a thread about it. Hopefully this suggestions will help the community and help staff members do their job much more efficiently.  

 

 

- Add in the "The Red Carpet" section and put "introductions" and "Farewells" as sub-sections. (Don't know why there isn't a farewell section yet.)

 

- Divide up the Support section by adding an "in-game help" and "Forum help" as sub-sections. (Approx. 60% of threads in the General Discussion is used for in-game help questions.) Once sorted, could be used to find potential staff members. 

 

- Instead of posting the "Newspaper" thread weekly in the General Discussion section, why not just make a sub-section/section for it? I feel as if the "General Discussion" is used for anything and everything. Not to mention, players will actually then notice that we have weekly newspapers.

 

- Add a "Newspaper Editor" rank, this gives incentives for those who helps making the newspaper possible. 

 

- Add a "Player held events" as a sub-section under the "Server Events & Competition" section. Could do better by moving it to the Community forum instead of having it in the "Official" forum. 

 

- Allow members to change their own usertitles after they meet certain criterias. Ex: 300 posts. (Could be removed if abused.)

All of these suggestions are minor and could be added in a few minutes therefore, I don't see any reason why not implement all of these to the forums would be nice addittion to the forums. I didn't even realise that there has not been added farewell sub-forum yet, but definitely should be. Great suggestions.

I love seeing forum suggestions since I spend more time here than in-game. I genuinely support each of these ideas. We need more forum ranks as well as maybe special tiers for forum users!

 

Really want to have those implemented asap. Thank you for your time posting it!

  • Red Carpet section has been added w/ Farewells
  • An 'Official Newspaper' section has been added under News & Announcements
  • A 'Player Run Events & Competitions' section has been added under the official one

I don't see the need to split up the support section anymore. We already have a section for Public Support and one for Private, splitting it up more would become a hassle as we would then need those sections for both in-game and forum. It's not as if there are so many topics made there that it becomes difficult to deal with them.

 

A newspaper editor rank is a bit useless since Thunder pretty much does it all himself. However, I may consider adding an award for it in the future if Thunder asks me to.

 

At this time custom usertitles will not be implemented. I've talked to Omicron about it and we are planning something for the future regarding them.


Your suggestion has been accepted.
