Dominus_Imperatoriis, on 03 December 2015 - 06:17 PM, said: Awesome news. Some improvements that I believe
it would facilitate the forum management: - Eliminate
reputation system from general discussion (leave working in other
sections). In the general discussion it only serve as tool to cause
dissidence or intimidate players with different opinions. -
Limit the creation of threads per each account. E.g. Each
poster is allowed to create only 1 thread per day. This will deter
the general discussion to become cluttered with new threads and
divert forum posters for the already open threads. - Create a top
list of threads for the most basic issues and complaints players
have, as already happen with the Issues with the
Matchmaking thread. Create a permanent thread for artillery
balance, for report system complaints, etc. - Increase interaction
of WG staff with the forum posters, mainly the
casual complainers. As soon an issue is addressed and answers
offered, the complainers are less likely to continue to post (or to
continue to play in the hands of the small group of forum dwellers
antagonizing players on a daily basis).Ectar: We're looking into different options for the reputation
system. In the RU and NA regions they don't have downvotes
for example and we're watching how that affects the tone/atmosphere
of the forums. Not sure if limiting how many threads people can do
a day would reduce spam We had pinned threads in the past for
specific hot topics, but players then complain that we're just
silencing new threads. We will try to keep new pinned threads
relevant and easily accessable A lot of the interaction is spent
mainly with casual complainers, which means most interactions are
drawn to what is viewed as negative topics. Those players (or as
many claim to be ex players) will carry on their way regardless of
any answer. I'd much rather focus on helpful and positive topics
than have to keep speaking to the same people all the time
regarding what new bothers them this week. More forum
interaction equal less time we spend on non forum stuff and our
roles don't involve just posting on the forums all day. It's not
always an easy balance to maintain and the EN team should hopefully
have a 3rd Community Coordinator fairly soon. Every time I try
to step back from the forums, it's my name that always gets dropped
in conversations when the team is also made up of Brynd, Ph3lan and
MrConway. - We cover all WG products and I can't be active in
most threads for all forums.
