[Forums] Clan Section Updates

[sY]

Hey guys, SharpY here. Just wanted to let you know about a small update I'm working on for the forums right now. We're changing the way the clans sections works entirely. First, we decided it was time to split them up between the respective games, the current section was just too cluttered for my liking. Second, we decided that a lot of the current threads getting made in the clan section are just spam threads, or not organized thought out clans, which we don't really need. So, we have decided to moderate every new clan thread that gets made in either section. What this means is that when you post a new thread, it will have to be approved by a moderator before it will be able to be viewed by the public. Thirdly, we have noticed that there's been plenty of spamming and trolling in the current clan section. In order to combat this in the new sections I'm a assigning a usergroup specifically to these two sections. They'll have full access to delete posts and make sure spamming isn't happening as much. They'll also more than likely be the people approving of your threads.

Now, since we've created the new sections, we're going to have to get rid of the old section. But that's okay, because it's mainly just deleting spam, and if your post count really takes a hit then I apologize in advance, but you should probably be posting somewhere else anyways.

Since the old section is being deleted, here's a quick note to CLAN LEADERS. IF YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE CLAN THAT HAS A THREAD IN THE OLD SECTION, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COPYING ALL OF THE CONTENT OF YOUR FIRST POST, AND POSTING IT IN IT'S APPROPRIATE NEW CLAN SECTION. YOU HAVE UNTIL THIS THURSDAY TO MAKE SURE THIS GETS DONE. IF YOU AREN'T A CLAN LEADER, MAKE SURE YOUR LEADER GETS THIS DONE.

Hope you guys like the improvements, I know I will. That's all for now, we'll let you know about more improvements in the future.

[Itches]

Maybe do this with screenshots as well? dunno. nice update to.

[Snoopy]

What about the split clans?

[Xenocide]

Finally :\

[Metaldragon]

Good job SharpY! It should be a lot more organized now, and a lot less people getting flamed. *edit* I applied for the clan managers, and now I play the waiting game :D

[VisionsEdge]

Ahhhh very nice. More organization means more players who might come and participate in the forums.

Also what might the new group of leaders be called? Clan Forum Checkers? :D

Clan Managers

[VisionsEdge]

Clan Managers

Right, knew that. Found that out when I went to check the New Clan system forum. :D

[Buttercup]

Finally. This is a lot better.

[SneaK]

Clan Managers


Can't wait to apply. :p

[HWV]

What about the split clans?
haven't figured it out. Give me some time.

[Seduce]

Nice one.
TFS thread isn't really spammed=0

[Jmoney]

Cool update!
One that was really needed to.

[SneaK]

haven't figured it out. Give me some time.

Do you & SharpY run the Clan Managers?

[HWV]

just me pretty much...for right now ;)

[SneaK]

Allright, just wondering.


:'(

DENIED?! :o

[adfdg555]

Dear, SharpY.

Sharpy I am only a person that likes pawn tactics and I am wondering if you could
add on a old class , do you remember the Scout class cause if you do I am hoping you will read this and take it into deep consideration

Lancer is pretty much the same little noob.

[SneaK]

Lancer is pretty much the same little noob.

If you played PawnTactics, you'd know that lancer is nothing like the scout. Know what you're talking about next time.

[Freon]

I hope it looks great! =þ

To the above lancer/scout argument, Lancer is nothing like scout. Scout had a scope and a sniper rifle, but very low defence. Lancer is uber fast, has a gauss (sniper did more damage) and no special ability. Don't argue with a beta player dude, you'll always lose.

BETA PRIDE!

[PowerRanger]

What if your clan is pt and pg? put it in both sections?

[KrazYSk8eR]

It was JUST implemented, It looks much more organized. Just wish there was a way to stop all the noobs with the "I need clann!!!1!" Threads

[HWV]

oh, they will be stopped. trust me ;)

[Killerrrrrr]

I'm gonna lose maybe 3-4 posts O_O.

I like that usergroup idea :D

[KrazYSk8eR]

oh, they will be stopped. trust me ;)


Great. HWV is there spots left for the Clan Manager ?
Or You don't know?

[FoxSamus]

Thanx SharpY.
I'll be more active in this section now that I don't have to try to ignore the PG clans.
:D

[HWV]

posts are going to be closely moniored in these sections. Unless you have something really important to say about the topic or are applying for the clan, please don't post.

[Naruto69]

Great so we will have to git oprove by a adminstrator
it dosent matter i need to improve my ice clan forum enyways

[HWV]

Great so we will have to git opore by a mod
it dosent matter i need to improve my ice clan forum enyways
not by a mod. By me or another clan manager specifically.

I am a pt beta player.

Even if I played in beta for five minutes :rolleyes:

Anyway, I have heard others say that they are the same, they seem similar to me, and their helmet and armor is identical, which makes me think even more that lancer is based off of scout.

[Charles]

Damn dude.

Talk about erasing pawn's history.

Some of the best clans ever made in pawn game are about to get deleted now.

[HWV]

there still will probably be records in archives O_O

[Drakojan]

Very good. No more trolls. Except Clan Leaders shouldn't be managers because they can control their own thread. =(

[HWV]

I don't see a problem w/ it as long as other managers are keeping it balanced.

[UreOnMyHitList]

Now I'll have people bugging me to join there clan....... YAY.

I like this idea sharpy.

[HWV]

my idea foo'

[WolfHowlz]

Oh, how fun. Clans don't really need to be this organized. BOO. >: (

[HWV]

:(
But I made you leader...
:(

[WolfHowlz]

:(
But I made you leader...
:(
I just don't want to display signs of OCD >_>

[UreOnMyHitList]

my idea foo'

OHHH then I hate it.

LAWL, j/k

[henry663]

i like it a LITLE

[Quintarius]

i like what you said but can yall add another class to pawn tactics call sniper please?

[Metaldragon]

i like what you said but can yall add another class to pawn tactics call sniper please?

There already was one, called the scout. That has nothing to do with this update either...Anyway, I was going to say, there should be a requirement, like the clan has existed for x-ammount of weeks, before a thread can be made for that clan.

[EaEaEa]

I am a pt beta player.

Even if I played in beta for five minutes :rolleyes:

No .

[Mailen]

[Freon]

This update is working out quite nicely, great job SharpY.
Although, I think that Forum Navigation should still be improved.

what is trolliing and spamming sorry i dont know much about this stuff



i dont know if this is sopose to go in this section but you guys do talk about that stuff

[michael1385]

what is trolliing and spamming sorry i dont know much about this stuff

Spaming is when you post pointless messages in a thread. trolling appears like a good post for a second, but have no content/off topic. (ie. "That's cool", "Wow neat", etc.)

flaming is insulting another person by means of text, usually over the internet.
Corrected by the info from HardenedWarVet.

[HWV]

Spaming is when you post pointless messages in a thread and trolling is when you froce an other user to fight back after you insult them.Hope this info is right Michael1385.
it's not, but thank you.

for records sake...

spamming= Stupid Pointless Annoying Message.
trolling=appear like a good post for a second, but have no content/off topic. (ie. "That's cool", "Wow neat", etc.)
flaming=insulting another person by means of text, usually over the internet.
