Here I go again. Line by line, trench warfare.
A World-Building section, if you've ever seen an actual one, is a stand-alone forum.
Which is precisely what we do not need. An extra forum, or even modification of the current infrastructure, has little backing or true reason to be done.
I don't see why adding an OOC, IC, Character Thread (tabs) you would see when you stand the game up.
I don't even think this or the next line are necessary, but there have been multiple people expressing support for tabs, thus, it is more viable to do than adding something that has comparatively no support.
I don't see how that would be a solution when simply renaming the Test Forum to say "World-Building" and rewriting the description to include world-building is an easier change or renaming the Test Forum and creating a blank forum for the Test Forum when hardly anyone uses it as what it was originally deemed to be would be better I guess.
I don't see how
this would be a solution over the char tab, posting in an existing forum and linking to it, or even PMing yourself. It does not need official recognition. It can be done, and has already been done.
The Test Forum is actually a waste since people can test signatures by easily adding it to their name and then looking at it. Bbcode is already tested with the "preview" function. This site doesn't use HTML, bots, or scripts, so it seems like an overall useless forum even if it is claimed that one is needed when it isn't.
- Preparing posts for use in the main sections
- Testing the use of BBCode without doing bullshit with their signature that is open for everyone to see. Unless you like refreshing a page and going "what kinda shitty formatting is that O.o"
-
Posting your lore - Storage
- Saving a post or other text, which may not even be relative to the guild (done that)
- Having the post on display for someone else to proofread, again without necessarily being in public
The World-Building section literally is a section for drafted ideas that you either use or don't use.
Ah, so like the Test Forum's current use. Exactly, in fact.
And if you decide that you like it and want to display it, stick it in the Gallery. Or even Character Sheets forum. The ambiguity would be a problem if the mods went after you for posting in one of three forums for similar tasks. Except, they aren't. They are in fact quite lax. I have had mods literally agree when I list the three forums + other places.
Going to ignore the remainder of that section.
But that is literally all that needs to be done. Making an extra tab for world-building in the RP format is not a good idea lol.
You're right. It's a better idea to use what's already there and not clutter with unnecessary tabs when the Char tab is perfectly suitable.
Actually, I take that back. That is not all. I should be able to permit a select few of people to add or edit the creations.
Co-GMs in the RP sections, Google Drive. Or perhaps a wiki if you think your creation is big enough to warrant it. That said, another user being able to edit your post (with explicit permission) would be nifty, but a feature I would not expect for quite a while.
If you are running a website, you want people to use your website more versus using other websites. It is business practice. The better your features, the more users will come to your site.
Other sites do fluff up with a hundred features. Like an above post said, it's why some users come here instead of such sites. This is dependent on Mahz or another willing developer actually making and adding this stuff, and I don't need to tell you that feature changes here are slow as molasses.
If you have lost interest in this discussion, no one is forcing you to continue.
It is easy for me to write "No". I guess the two-latter part helps me add the other 4k characters to the post.
