Suggetion for Posting in Collective issues Sub-Forum

[Steve]

Navigating the New Rules is not working. QC members still seem to be able to debate mechanics, while others are having their posts removed, being accused of violations of any of the New Rules or their sub-sets.

This seems to go against Endelyon's wish that: "It's okay to make an (un)needed suggestion. We'll discuss them staff-side, and if we need a public debate about them we'll ask for one. Likewise, QCers shouldn't be posting here telling a user why a suggestion isn't viable or would tilt the module balance when programmers and development staff aren't even considering implementation of that change in the first place."

This New Rule #2, b and c subset, seem to be the most challenging to argue for and against violation:

Examples of reasons it is not okay to reply: b.) you want to discuss the mechanical balance or other aspects of a suggestion, c.) want to use the original suggeston to spark a debate on another aspect of the game will suffer,

My suggestion is as follows:

• Allow any Player in good standing to post a Suggestion, Issue or Bug Report.
• That Post is auto-locked, for immediate/eventual review by Staff.
• A QC Coordinator or even a Forum Moderator may unlock the Post, if they deem it warrants public discussion, while still following the New Rules as stated by Endelyon.
• If QC takes up the issue staff-side, then a follow up post is made by the QC Coordinator, or if necessary, a QC member that has taken it staff-side.
• Results or decisions for or against the OP is made when possible, to allow for closure.

Thank you. You may now lock this Post, according to my own suggestion.
