Few ideas of mine to improve the In-Game forums:
Alliance Forums- Just like the squad forum section but for the entire alliance. What good is a squad forum if our allies cant see them?
|
Would be nice to have not sure if we can though. Limitations and all will need to ask Gunderak. (Noted)
Player rights-All players should be able to edit/delete their posts and threads. Close/open threads as well. They should also be able to 'quote' other players just like on here and emotes should also be added  <-- like that
|
Just like normal forums moderators control the topics and threads. We aren't going to allow players to close threads. Deleting their own post I agree with. We wont be able to add 'quote' players because there is a limit on how much can be typed in per post. (We believe this is an issue with Graal itself.)
|
Moderators/Administrators-Of course... We need some mature and responsible people to keep our new forums clean and spam-free.
|
Moderators/Administrators for the forums are currently the staff. All staff have mod rights (for now) to delete post, delete threads, and close post. Not going to have players doing it.
|
Hirings section- Imo only administrators should be able to make threads in this part of the forums. There is no reason for regular users and players to post job hirings here. Go to craigslist or something lol.
|
This is already an option I have put on the to do list. As you all have noticed we delete any threads that are made in that Topic unless it was by a staff member.
|
More Sections- Atm we only have 'Main', 'Events,'Hirings', and your squad forums if you have a squad. I think we should have more sections to reduce the spam in each section and make it easier to scroll down.
|
This is already an option I have put on the to do list. Right now we plan to add a few more topics. News, Server Improvements, and Squad Recruitment. If you have any more ideas that would be a good addition let us know.
Deletion of Threads & other improvements-I think threads should be deleted after about a 3 days if no one has posted on it. The timer for it would restart if someone made a post. Spammers that just want to keep the thread alive would be dealt with by mods & admins. Also, recent posts should be the organization system for it. Not the time the thread was made. This means that the threads that people are actually talking on should be first on the list. That way ppl dont have to scroll all the way down a dead thread list to get to an active thread. I also noticed that theres a character limit for each post. I think there should be a character amount notifier (Ex. 257/400 characters used)
All i can think of right now  ill post again if i can think of anything else.

Some of these are already on the to do list. I will add the character limit 257/400 on the to do list.
Thanks for your post.
Very helpful.
