What new forum categories do we need? - sovereign - 04-13-2008
I throw my support behind Xoria's ideas. Although, I hope you're up to the time drain, as there are a lot of things that would need to be moved.

Create those subforums, and I'll volunteer to work on moving threads into them.

I think Xoria hit it right off the bat as well as the others have had. I commend you Igiss for taking the time to do this for all us. Also I second Xoria support, if you do it I too am willing to help move threads.

I would like to see Ask the Admins. ---Here's is how i propose it to work:
Frist, create 2 forums sections:
Ask the Admins and a hidden one, Admin disscusion (for Admins only).
The user gets to post A question on Ask the Admins.
The question is then discussed Amoung the Admins, in thier hidden admin only Admin Disscusion--then 'the answer' is relayed back to the Asker, via one admin posting.
Here is why i think this is needed:
Currently, users post a question....but then 50,000 members chime in, making the question thread 6 pages deep with servial pages getting off topic and some pages with flames. After reading the 6 pages.....one is still left with hardly a straight answer.
I think this needs to be trimmed down alot---straight forward question-----a section where the admins can discusse it among them selves and deside upon an offical answer followed by ONE answer given back.

Faction Proposial starting point :
Since the current rules say a faction needs atleast 8 or so regular members and 500 million, before they can go on to the next step, in creating thier faction....there needs to be a pre-starting point.
Example of forum section use:
New thread titled: " New idea for faction---is there any instrest ??--Hi there, I want to make a new faction based off the Dr.Who series...if instrest in becoming a member, post a reply and what tymes you are avaible on the server''.
From there, the founder of the 'new faction' can see if there is instrest from other people in joining.
If the founder doesn't get any replies..then he/ she will know that their isn't any point in continualling.
Think of it as a pre-sign up. ( and this exclues the founder's personal freinds )
From what i have seem, currect new factions are either created by having like 10 or so personal friends that play, or in game word of mouth.

I've just seen a new Forum under Faction proposal.
Are we waiting for moderators to move threads ?

Thanks for feedback.
I've implemented many changes (not only ones suggested, but also some that I invented myself)), so, you can browse the forum and post whatever you think about the new structure.
There are two questions...
1) What is "Faction feedback" forum and what should be discussed in there? Is it feedback on existing factions? Or proposals about new factions before posting a formal request?
2) "Watering Holes", how the forum should be named, and what description would you suggest for it?
About descritptions, some of them are fairly generic in their current state. So, if you can come up with anything more creative and not too long, I'll change them.
And last, but not least:
Xoria is now the forum moderator for most categories - a long-expected assignment,
also, AC_Merc got many new forums to moderate,
and other moderators got more of the new subforums (in the RP section mainly) to continue with what they were doing.

feedback section was intended for official factions, like LSF RoS, etc ,etc ,etc. So that way they could fix some issues and improve their general roleplay
-----------------------------
The faction creation request section is already, at the same time, a feedback section

Question:
Does the previous "Grandfather Clause" for the 500 mil for Faction Creation still flow over with the new Faction Requests forums?
