Hey guys, I suggested to the rest of moderation team, and after approval given to put this up to a vote, I'd like to see what you guys think. I have always noticed one complaint that seems to be consistent. Alliance Affairs. I see people complain its disorganized, new alliance taking space and etc. and I been thinking of ways to fix the issue that still allows new alliances to be able to still post but keep the Alliance Affairs forums more organized. So here is what I suggested. Dedicated subforums, while Alliance Affairs will be used for General Announcements, we would also have subforums for Treaty Announcements, one for War Declaration/Peace Agreements, Alliance Declaration of Existence. We could have more if you guys want. However Alex suggested something else. Starting a Tag system. This would make it where we still use one category, Alliance Affairs however use tags. For example, in the title would look like "[Treaty]Alliance A signs a <treaty type> with Alliance B". Either system would work. For me I prefer the dedicated subforums but ultimately, you the community are who use this forums so we decided to give you the option to choose. If you prefer the current one, you can even vote for that. This is just an idea I think that will bring organization to the Alliance Affairs category and hopefully make it easier for you guys to view which topics you would like to to view and which ones you do not like and if you have any concerns or ideas, please comment below and we can discuss your ideas as well.

@Alex Also This is a No-Discussion Forum. Do not reply to topics in this particular subforum, unless you meet one of the following criteria: You are the topic creator You are the accused in the original topic You have specific evidence to provide regarding the report You are a Staff member If you fail to follow these regulations, you will receive a Warning Point, and potentially have a temporary account suspension as-per the Forum Rules.

Welcome!

You obviously did not, because what you want, is not going to happen. We cant limit how many times 1 person can up ote/downvote a single person. We can limit how many upvotes/downvotes they can use in general, but that isnt going to stop them from downvoting you. A report was made, I decided that a general verbal warning in topic is more warranted than giving everyone, including you, warn points for rule violations. Silence the people who disagree with you and this proposal? I doubt Alex wishes to take down the reputation system and side with you, when you have been in the wrong in this topic as well. With notice, I'm temporarily locking this thread and discuss with the rest of the moderation team. This thread has turned into unnecessary arguments and the original topic isnt being discussed.

Each member can upvote/downvote 30 times per day according to the settings. Why? Because you had a bad experience with it? You obviously didnt read my post, there isnt a way to do what your asking, nor would I support it. This is a game about politics, making political enemies ingame or on the forums will result in the player(s) you upset, annoyed, angered or/and etc will react. What your asking for is limiting expression because I cant limit reactions from 1 person to another, so the alternative is to disable to it completely, which will restrict expression. I should remind you that you are not a forum moderator or game admin, you dont get to decide when punishments are warranted or not. See a rule violation? Report it and move on, do not bring it up in the topic saying what should be done. As for the other matter, this topic has gone off topic from the very beginning, keep in topic of the post, dont personally attack or spam this thread or this topic will be closed

I went through the settings in the AdminCP and went through the options, and found there is limited settings we can do ourselves. Reputation Settings: Reputation Enabled?: Yes Exclude these groups: None Selected Highlight Content with Positive Reputation: set to 7 Show Each members total reputation points on their profile: Enabled Reaction Display: Individual or Value, and Individual was selected There is other categories, but doesn't change the way it works persay. We can add more reactions, 4 of the default reactions are currently disabled, leaving the Like, upvote and downvote the only ones you can select on the forums, then the tab to control the leaderboard and the Reputation levels. There isn't a way to exclude sub-forums. Going into Groups, the only thing I could do is increase/Decrease the amount of Upvotes/Downvotes/Likes an account can do in one day or hide the members ratings altogether. I can't speak for the rest of the Moderation team or @Alex on this, but I don't agree with removal of the reputation system, nor do I feel with the settings provided to us by the provider of this forum software need to be changed. I personally would rather allow more freedom of expression, as long as it doesn't violate the current forum rules. I don't think we need to add more restrictions, however like I said, I am not speaking on behalf of the Alex and the Moderation Team, this is more of my personal opinion on the matter.

@Lelouch Vi Britannia if you havent contacted the player on the day of the month and given them 7 days afterwards to post or be removed then we cant remove them. Life happens - we cant just remove people without explicit evidence they dont plan to return.

Thank you for the report. Report handled

On Politics and war's in-game system, every person is assigned a unique ID, when two or more accounts are discovered sharing the same network, it'll lump all the accounts under 1 unique ID which could indicate multiple accounts being used, however it can also indicate family and/or friends sharing the same wifi which is why it is no longer a violation for multiple accounts to be on the same network anymore. When a report is sent to the game administrators they do a basic investigation and if anything seems fishy I assume they search further into the account to find signs that it may be one person using multiple accounts. I am not sure how @Alex or @Chris handle these investigations but that is what I assume is there first steps for any reports concerning multis. Investigate and then decide if it is multiple people or one person using multiple accounts, but the first step that may flag you would be having multiple nations on the same unique ID and showing the classic signe of it being one person.

Sorry @Reuben Cheuk i needed Lelouch's post as the first comment since he has taken over the map, couldn't find a way to move your comment down so i had to delete it.

For those who wish to become a part of the roleplaying community here in the National Affairs subforum, this is the thread in which you should apply. NOTE: I, Olive Penderghast, am not running the NatRP Map Thread. I am designating @Lelouch Vi Britannia the official moderator of this thread. I am simply posting this to lend my credibility and mark that this is the official thread. Current Map Located in Next Post Are you a new member to P&W, looking to try out some roleplaying? Or are you already a seasoned roleplayer, looking to develop his/her skills in roleplaying? Well, all I can say is that with this post, I hope to establish a friendly, low-drama roleplaying environment for those among us who have an interest in roleplaying out our nation's actions. Whether you're an experienced roleplayer, or completely new and inexperienced to roleplaying, allow me to say that I'll do my best as your OP to be friendly and accepting of every type of roleplayer. High-quality roleplay and constructive world-building are encouraged. For in-depth roleplay (multiple paragraphs, extensive posts), you may make your posts and threads here. For more natural roleplay with less restrictions, you may make your posts and threads here. For more casual roleplay, the National Affairs subforum itself should do. (Just remember that while this is a casual environment, the subforum will still be moderated, as it is meant for in-character posts and interactions. Additionally, signing up here isn't a requirement to use the subforum.) (Note of interest: Several members of our roleplaying community have based their nations and/or leaders upon those inspired from anime and other fictional sources. This is perfectly acceptable so long as your roleplay is constructive and well-intentioned. However, this style of roleplay does not give you an advantage in terms of wars, or anything. Similarly, you cannot use it as an excuse to develop incredibly advanced technology in short periods of time, as it is unfair for those who put much time and effort into their roleplay. You're free to be as creative as you like, so long as it is within the rules. This is to avoid Godmodding and overpowered posts.) Interested in joining? Don’t be shy, and fill out the application below. *Before applying, be sure to read the rules of the National Affairs subforum, and the map itself, here.* If you have any questions, feel free to contact @Lelouch Vi Britannia by PM or discord (#6219)
