Make Requests & Reports invisible

[Twido]

Greetings


Now since we all know its always Staff Vs Players. The fight is always about a warning or a ban that they received ingame or because they replied in the section in "Requests & reports". To fix this problem, I suggest the web developers to hide the Requests & Report topic for normal players. Only make it visible for staff members.


Now I've been thinking about this and I know I'm going to hear some replies, and they are:



Q: What is going to happen to bug reports? We don't want double bug reports!!


A: Well bug reports are ment to be fixed ASAP, not after a month. (Some bugs might be too big and can take a bit longer then usual)




Q: What if someone is reported and want to defend himself?

A: Well easy. Thanks to Mick and all the other that helped to create the forum, we have a Private message system. Staff can private message the players that are involved in the report.


Q: "Can we lock this suggestion, I don't like it?"


A: No, wait for everyone so that people have the oppertunity to like or dislike it.






EDIT: Stay on topic! I don't wanna see another Members Vs Staff fight. I've had enough of it, keep it clean and just tell if you like it or not. Wanna start a fight then go pm him/her

This, has got to be the best suggestion ever you explained it bit by bit D:

Bug reports: I'm taking care of the bugs soon once ive got an update outta the way this weekend (you'll like it!)

Reports: I think they're needed, translations, person to defend themselves etc. Admins running around PM'ing people, and people PM'ing admins will be a huge cluster f**k IMO

Can we lock this suggestion?: No, but i'll fart

Edit: The "best suggestion" bit wasn't meant as sarcasm by the way i meant it. Most people slam suggestions with a wall of text

Q1) It is good to have status of bug reports open just so that people can know if bug has been fixed or not. Additionally they might ask user for additional information to assist with debugging which can be done via PM, but that disorganizes things since you have a PM and a topic going on, and if the "reply to all" function is not used it might lead to only 1 scripter being PM'd so the other scripters don't know anything.

Q2) The reported player might not know about the existence of the report and again, PMs might not end up received by all admins.

Q3) Rubber meant his topic as a rhetorical question (90% positive). The practicalities of having the entire area visible to everyone far outweighs having it invisible in my opinion, and I'm fairly sure admins agree too.

Alternatively making the entire area "moderated" so that posts must be approved is more appropriate.

Good, your choice , its better to hear diffrent suggestions and make something about it.


Its better that everyone suggests something and pick the nice things out and make something of it.[/color][/quote]

The reported person should have a right to defend themselves if they can before the report case get's closed on forums so pointless idea in that sense.
