Good day chaps,
As FSE has decided to create a brand new branch of the administration, The Community Representatives, I think it is very, very important we have a single place to focus all of our worries and frustrations that can be checked on a daily basis. Hopefully this thread will be just that.
Without bringing in a crapload of detail, the purpose of this thread is very simple: If you have a grievance, question, concern, witty joke, or anything of those lines, please post it here. I'm going to be checking this thread as much as I possibly can, which hopefully means daily.
Here are some guidelines for posting:
1) This thread is for community concerns.
That means that when you post, it shouldn't be something like "When is the next patch coming out?" or anything of that ilk. It should be relevant to the well-being of the NW Community, and something which affects the players themselves.
2) This thread is for questions, not discussion.
If someone asks a question, please do not respond to it yourself. I don't make up the rules around here, but I'd like only NW Com. Reps. to respond to questions here, and if anyone else, such as Deo, vince, or any other person of that power wants to, then by all means they can answer as well. As for discussion: I will lock this thread if I see a discussion happen, and then I'll ask an admin to delete all the posts of said discussion, including the question which sparked it. This thread is a Q&A-only thing.
3) You may ask any question, as long as you truly want an answer.
Even if a question may seem stupid, I personally will try to answer it. If you have a concern, I'll try my best to look into it to the best of my ability. Please, do not feel as if you can't ask something because it seems too simple! It's better having peace of mind rather than being nervous due to easily curable ignorance.
4) Try to keep your posts to the point.
I will read essay-length posts if I have to, but it's easier for me to understand what you need help with if you are concise with your post. It's harder to find a needle in a hay stack than it is a drawer.
5) Don't post anything that is offensive, malicious, or hawkish.
Don't simply post "I want this admin investigated for crimes against humanity!" simply because you were banned from a server because you killed 17 teammates with explosives. If you do really want an admin investigated, and it's for a legitimate reason, then I would hope you can post it here, but try to keep everything civil.
Once more, the overall purpose of this thread is to give the NW Representatives, specifically myself, an outlet to look into to gauge if we're not only doing our job right, but what we can do to improve ourselves, as well as a way to fully utilize the offices we've been voted into. Please use this thread to it's full potential. I look forward to working with you all.
