Mod Post

(Apologies for making a mod post from my personal RP journal, but apparently you need a paid account to make a poll pls ignore)

Hello Deerlings! As many of you know, our October Prelude was posted earlier to help people with planning. Many players have appreciated the additional time and some have asked if the actual events could be posted ahead of their technical "start dates" - however we do not want players to feel overwhelmed with content either.

We would like to hear everyone's feedback on whether they think this would be helpful as a whole or if it would feel overwhelming.

The general idea would be that we post events ahead of their "start dates" as well as plotting posts so people could get their ideas and plans ready ahead of time rather than our current system where we post the event on the actual start date.

Let us know your thoughts and opinions in a comment below or vote on our poll!

Poll #24656 Event Postings
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 63


When would you prefer events be posted?

View Answers

I prefer our current system of how events are posted.
5 (7.9%)

A week+ ahead of "event start date" for all events.
38 (60.3%)

Only a week+ ahead of "event start date" for bigger events.
16 (25.4%)

I don't have a preference.
6 (9.5%)

This right here! It can be really tricky to get a plotting comment up that way! Having them all in one for us to read and plot with and THEN have the log go up later on in the week would be aces.

Oh this makes sense, I see what you're saying.

Would it work if the event itself was posted inside the plot post itself and then the actual interactive-part posted fresh to the log page once the start date happens?

Oh yea, I think this would work and be a lot simpler to understand than having a log post with disabled comments (which might get lost on the comm/reading pages before the start date).

Completely agree! That does make a lot more sense. Thank you for the suggestion.

+1 to the idea in this thread!

I voted before reading the responses to the entry but if I could, I'd put my vote toward this idea.

Yes indeed, that'd make things so much easier!

Also +1ing that idea! It sounds like the best solution to me.

Another +1, please do this (info in the plotting post, interactive log separate)! Way more intuitive and less awkward tabbing back and forth.

It will also mean we can go back to review event info without having to wait for past-captcha pages to load, in the future.

..This is ..such a great point. The captcha is miserable to deal with.
