The Other Discussion, Forum Games, Resource Contributor's Garbage Bin, Adverts & Recruitment, and Debates still have their permissions set up to where a user could post in them if they wanted to. The permissions of these boards need to be reset to match the other boards in the Topic Archive.
This should have been an issue taken to the administrators through a personal message. Now, rather than it being the way it is and few people knowing about it, the knowledge is out there for all members to see and potentially abuse.
Shefali still needs to get her staff profile page up. I guess it is not that "important", the site would just be more professional with it there. CrystalAngel04 should change her position field to be "Administrative Advisor". Administrators should change their position field to be reflective of their administrative role if it is not reflective already. All moderators should have their position fields be "Global Moderator" just so there is no confusion and so there is a set standard.
This seems to be more of a personal issue than it does something that needs direct attention. ZFGC should
not be something that becomes a "professional" style website. It should be a fun, entertainment-based community for a large group of people who generally get along. It is the professionalism taking seat that is causing the large rifts in the community, and causing us to step away from what made ZFGC good during it's golden years; the fact that members were
friends.
I have been waiting about two months for a decision on my News/Weekly idea. The entirety of it has not been answered as to the fate of the Prerelease & Planning board or making the News public - even the "Journalistic" staff idea that the administration had has not been resolved. If a part of my idea needs to be restated or explained, let me know. Otherwise, there is serious bias towards me and I am getting really !@#$% tired of you guys being dicks to me. Two other people with ideas got a resolution to ideas with a week or so, why should I be treated differently?
Because the proposals that got resolved were brought up without constant bitching and whining about them, and because the members were not members who the general public always viewed as vying for power or status. Perhaps you should stop looking at it as people being dicks to you, and start looking at things in terms of how they affect the community, how they improve the community, and stop worrying about what
you have to gain from your proposals. From what I have seen of a majority of your ideas, in some form or another, you are the primary benefactor. Not the members of this community. You seriously need to stop making things become all about you.
ZFGC University, for example, was set up to benefit the members of ZFGC by providing them a location with strong sets of tutorials from which they can learn. All that was asked for was the bare minimum to run the section, with little to no impact on the rest of the community. If
ZFGC University should fail, it will not harm the community in the least. If anything, it will just pass by as if it had never existed.
Finally, I asked and it was alright with at least Infini, but I need to Development sub-board created initially private except to local moderators and up for the Community Project; and the current leaders of the Community Project should be made local moderators of this board. I appreciate the move of the board to the Projects board, I really do. However, I cannot get started until I am able to get the team together privately. I am asking about this now because I figured I would wait as you might have been busy.
I still do not understand why this should be kept private, if it is a
community project. All development information should, at the
very least, be
visible to the
community for which the project is being made. Any major executive decisions on the game should fall to the
community. At the very most, I can understand the Community Project team having a board to post where they will not get posts from members who are not contributing to the Community Project. Such a board should be set up so that Community Project members are the only ones with
posting and
replying privileges, but otherwise, all members can see the board.
