PSA: Forum Structure - Our Plan Moving Forward

Brigby

Hi Everyone,

As many of you might know, I recently posted a thread asking for feedback regarding the structure of our forum. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find that thread here: PSA: Forum Structure - How Would You Organize It?

We received a lot of suggestions from players, and we have been reviewing them all carefully. One frequently mentioned aspect of the forum structure was not the forum categories themselves, but rather the moderation of posts to enforce organization in those categories. 

Organization is important in any forum, because it allows players to efficiently find topics they want to discuss. Having said that though, organization should not come at the expense of maintaining active conversations; the same ones players are searching for in order to participate in.

We understand that players view General Discussion as a central hub of communication, and the other sub-forums are utilized as more of a library of resources. In light of this information, please find detailed below our plan of moderation moving forward.

General Discussion 
This will be the home to where *almost all MPQ topics can be discussed. Want to talk about how you did during Thick as Thieves, or which 4-Star character is your favorite? Perhaps you want to brainstorm a new idea with the community before submitting it to Suggestions & Feedback. Feel free to discuss all of that here.

We will no longer move any threads to other sub-forums. Instead, if we think a thread would be more relevant somewhere else, we will post the link to that sub-forum within the GD thread, merely as a friendly reminder of where additional resources can be found.

*Alliances
Players will still be required to post Alliance recruitment threads in this section. 

*Bugs & Technical Issues
Since Tombstone works directly with the QA team, as well as specifically in this sub-forum, keeping bug threads in this section will allow for faster investigation and resolution times. Due to this, we will still be moving General Discussion threads discussing bugs to the Bugs & Technical Issues section, however we will sure to leave a redirect link upon moving.

With this moderation plan, the intent is to give players the flexibility and visibility of discussing the topics they want to talk about, while still encouraging players to visit the other categories our forum offers. At the end of the day, this is a forum for players by players, and we hope this direction echoes that sentiment. 

If you would like to leave your feedback or comments, feel free to join the discussion HERE

Thanks for being a part of our D3 Go community!

Cheers,
