Hi Everyone,

I know that we haven't been heavy on the moderation over on the MtGPQ side of the forum, however I think it is still important to inform the Magic Puzzle Quest community of the over-arching plan we'll be moving forward with from now on.

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 MtGPQ topics can be discussed. For example, feel free to talk about your favorite Planeswalker here, the most recent Terrors in the Shadows event, or a new deck build you'd like to show off.

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.

*Coalitions
Players will still be required to post Coalition 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. 

As always, please feel free to leave your feedback and comments, or send me a private message with your thoughts.

Thanks for being a part of our D3 Go community!

Cheers,
Brigby

    Yeah. Fewer forums is fine and I'll see more of the other discussions that tend to be off the beaten path.
