    Staff Icon New forum section

    I just wanted to point out, for those who haven't noticed, that we have started a new section of the forums.

    The On-Topic Forum is a moderated discussion forum, which is explained in a thread on that forum.

    We'll be posting up our first topic soon, and I'd like to invite everyone to join in. It is important to have a good cross-section of our players in order to get good feedback and results.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the new section in action.
    A section that is stricter about common minor infractions in the rest of the forums(like derailing). It should prove to be an interesting experiment. I was going to post a "first thread," but I couldn't think of a topic to create a thread about.

    I think you'll find that only reps and admin can begin threads there. We're going to work hard to have one spam-free place where people can truly discuss Evony and its future.

    So essentially it will be a forum section where you dictate what the topics can be. Good luck with getting a cross section of people in it because I think most here will appreciate the concept of freedom of speech and being able to create post on topics relevant to them, not just what the moderators decide is the topic of the day or what Evony directs you to bring forward as a topic. I’ll stick to the freedom of speech forum thanks but good luck with your new forum section.

    Nobody is taking away your ability to create topics. You may do that in all the other areas of the forum. The goal of this particular forum is to get very specific and useful feedback in order to help direct game changes to be in line with what the players want. Random topics will not fulfill that need.

    If you choose not to participate, that's fine. I'd think you would prefer that your point of view be represented there, but it need not be.

    That forum will be just as dead as the other "mods only" forums. The content comes from the USERS, not from the MODS, and the USERS are not marionnettes for the MODS to try to make marketing material for EVONY.

    I think we can at least give the staff the benefit of the doubt until we actually see this beast in action.

    It seems like a good idea, and it *seems* like something that the developers will read and take a little more seriously than the "Suggestions" forum, so let's try to get some good input in there.

    Please, with the On Topic group membership requirement its gonna be filled with nothing but fanboys, brown nosers, and astroturfers. There won't be any constructive critisicm because even if someone did bother to go through all the hoops to get on there and tell EVONY what fer, their post will be deleted. {:-)

    Did you bother even reading anything in the on topic forum? the reps/ admins create a topic and they open it temporarily for the users to post (you have to apply to a special usergroup first) .. It is not a "mods only" forum by far .. if it were you wouldnt even be able to see it
    135 gray rep 158/200 rep points Rep me if i helped!! thnx!!

    OUT OF BASIC YAAY!!! Now I'm in tech school
