What’s your view on the changes. Personal I raised an eyebrow when suggestions was pretty much scrapped.
Fourm changes. Good, bad?

Hello all,
We do not mind a discussion about the changes, but please keep it on-topic without inflammatory comments or we will need to close the thread. As always, you can give suggestions about the forums and the forum structure directly to the Community Team at [email protected]

From what I heard, they want people to make suggestions in the sub-forums most related to the area of the game. I’m not sure how useful that will be in the long-run though; it’ll be better in the sense that it will foster more discussion from players interested in that game’s aspect, but having suggestions spread out across the forums may make it harder to keep track of them, especially on sub-forums that are very fast-moving.
I’ll quote myself from another thread:
We want people to make suggestions in the sub-forums which make sense for their ideas. As example, if you have an idea about sPvP, you can and should post it in the sPvP sub-forum.
The development teams are very excited about this change.

So if you have a suggestion about the forum ? I doubt the “Forum Bugs” section would be the place to go post “Suggestions” on..
You can email [email protected] so the whole Community Team can see your suggestion. That being said, you’re making a fair point. Would this be something which would be valuable?

Given certain trolls seem to be free to post as they please and mods frequently edit posts to make language less negative i doubt this is a good thing,
In regards to coming across posts that violate the rules, rather than reply in kind, please report any Code of Conduct violations you come across. Thousands up thousands of posts are made every single day and although we wish we could review them all, it’s just not physically possible, so any assistance we can get from players like you using the report function are greatly appreciated.

There’s quite a few good discussion threads that have been moved to the trashcan, just because one or two posters made nonconstructive posts.
I wanted to touch on this specifically.
First, our forum software does not allow us to split off posts from threads. Our only course is to lock a thread, delete each post, or remove the whole thread.
Second, we’ve been working with the Moderation Team to try to save or even close the threads, versus removing the whole thing. There are a lot more threads out there which are receiving Moderator notices when they go off the rails, so folks can get back on-topic. Our hope is that with a more streamlined forum, we can concentrate on making the experience better.
I much prefer to keep a thread, unless it goes off the rails. If we have more infractions in a post than we have good posts, it is easier to remove it or lock it, so the discussion can “reboot” as it were.

As there has not been any inflammatory remarks in this thread, I’m not sure why there was a reminder regarding the moderation of threads. Maybe I’m personally missing something.
Just to help keep things transparent in the process…there have been 5 posts on this thread which you aren’t seeing. Hence the request to keep it constructive and respectful to all.

I assume the lore forum is going to be expanded upon, right? So players can talk everything story-related there, like the living story and the personal story.
What I can say is that we are not finished with the forum changes.
