Mrloud15 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello everyone, I made a test post in the "Survival Suggestions" sub-forum and checked it out with another account with mod perms. The perms look to be setup right to me, so I would like to move forward with this idea. For those who don't know, the sub-forum is intended to replace the uservoices we have setup which have several drawbacks. The big thing using the sub-fourm over a uservoice would do would be to centralize everything. People would not have to create a new account to suggest something or have another website to check. There are a couple ways we can set this up. First, have one sub-forum where anyone can make a suggestion and use tags to filter through the ideas and let the appropriate admins handle the thread. Second, each server has its own sub-forum (maybe have a general one for the heads and techs) and let the appropriate admins handle the threads in their sub-forum. We could even pin the server's change logs in their sub-forum to help declutter the main "Minecraft Decision" forum. I would like to hear what everyone thinks about this, so please comment below.

schererererer Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm in favor of separate subforums for each server, plus a general one for matters that transcend server borders - makes it much easier for server admins to check which suggestions are for their server and give a timely reply. Yes to pinning changelogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwitchViewz Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm in favor of separate subforums for each server, plus a general one for matters that transcend server borders - makes it much easier for server admins to check which suggestions are for their server and give a timely reply. Yes to pinning changelogs. Agree with scherer here as well as Mrloud. Though I have one question, where would the Event subforum be located? Would it be under 'Events' or 'Server Discussion'? I'm actually going to go a bit off-topic here and suggest that we actually rearrange and rename the entire forum board. We are a 'Community' now and no longer one game or one server focused. This is what I propose: News & Announcements - Community News - Events Servers - Minecraft - Counter Strike: Global Offensive - Whatever other game we do Support - Click here to appeal your ban! - Ban Appeals - Problems & Issues - Suggestions -- Creative -- PvE -- Survival -- Events The Lounge - The Archives -- Past Events -- Closed Ban Appeals - Other Games - Off-Topic -- /r/ama Staff Discussions - Mod Chat - Private Mod Chat -- Notes -- Moderator Nominations - Admin Chat -- HR -- Closed Admin Chat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwitchViewz Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 With that layout above in mind, I'd like to toss in these new descriptions for each board: Events: Upcoming activities in the community Minecraft: Discussion for our minecraft servers Ban Appeals: Currently open appeals for the servers Problems & Issues: Technical problems with the servers or other services Suggestions: Suggestions and ideas for the community, events, and individual servers The Archives: Archived posts from the staff forum sections, past events, and closed ban appeals Other Games: Discussion for other games and servers outside of nerd.nu Mod Chat: Public staff discussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
