Hi Everyone!
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who filled out the site survey! It has be closed now, as we’ve had enough people put in their input for some changes to take place across the site. So, what this means is within the next week we will be having a large site update!
Firstly, the site’s theme will be updated to a new look, and hopefully offer everyone a better way of finding things around the site. However, just a reminder for the time being, season information can be found in the information center where all the logged in users are listed. Stuff will be moved in the changes.
Secondly, there will be a major rule and general thread update across the site. A lot of feedback has come in through the survey and separately about issues across the site, and our refined rules have been redone to make the changes people have been asking for around the site. I’m sorry to those who wanted it otherwise, but we will be boosting the minimum word count to 150 words, and we will be cracking down on the cases of exclusion and other issues in the cbox, along with the realism of names and histories across the site.
Thirdly, there will be an update to high rank requirements, to reflect the urge for high ranks to be posting regularly, and being part of the community and managed on a case-by-case basis. They won’t be changing too much, however it will hopefully reflect what people have requested a bit better.
For those who after reading the rule updates when they are released and don’t wish to continue with the site, that is completely fine! They won’t match what everyone wants to continue doing, and you are welcome to take your leave. We just ask you advise us through a thread or through a PM that you are doing so, rather than just straight up deleting or abandoning your account.
These changes will hopefully be in place at earliest Sunday the 14th (GMT +5 and above) and latest Friday the 19th.
This is just a small heads up so you aren't caught unaware.
Cheers all!
