i think an approved desc and background would weed out people that just want to flame/spam on the boards

I like the idea of opening the Board, but lack faith in the playerbase not to abuse. Lots of people who cheat a lot, and flame people, and start shitstorms have characters with approved backgrounds and descriptions.

And if things do get out of hand on the board, a Herald could still "wipe it clean" to remove those distasteful remarks.

I agree with Andreal. Open the boards to everyone, give Heralds the ability to moderate.

I still think anyone who abuses the system is going to be caught and punished pretty quickly. It's pretty hard to get away with it if there's undeniable written evidence sitting in the middle of North Square.

So add reputable to the criteria. Abuse it and lose reputable.

I think limiting this to verified accounts is enough to hold players accountable.

I agree that the very least should be like level 5, verified.

is this to enhance roleplay or is it a ploy to get everyone to register their characters to their forum accounts? i don't plan to start now so i guess i'm cut off from that roleplay opportunity. oh well. well i guess i did a few times

It is to enhance roleplay. Verified accounts means we can hold the player responsible for any shenanigans, and also reward that player with honors when deserved.

I don't see any disadvantage to verifying your characters.

Okay aside from access requirements discussion, I was hoping to get some brainstorm on functions you'd like to see on it (if anyone is interested). I am thinking:

Code:

>look board
 
 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
 <> Welcome to the Herald Bulletin Board!<>
 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
 
NEWS! 
Watch out for your wives, children, and purses! Dark activities observed
in Seringale. The Castle had best train its recruits, and quickly!

GOSSIP! 
Sandwich-on-legs spotted by numerous Serinfolk at North Square. It's
undeniable... our formerly trustworthy source is under questioning.  All
accounts still agree that Goron is probably crazy.
 
ADVERTISEMENTS!
The Mystics of Timaran are looking for a maid to clean their unkempt towers.
Interested applicants should contact any Mystic and be ready to demonstrate
their organizational skills.  Pixies or beards preferred.  If both, EVEN
BETTER.  Weak stomachs need not apply.  This position will be
well-compensated with shiny gold coins.

The Heralds of Serin are recruiting, if you believe that you feel the call
of the quill, the itch to rhyme, the buzzing of countless fun ideas in your
head, send in an application to the Heralds, TODAY! 

[Recent and Upcoming Events:]
Malice 15:     Fling Some Gnomes (completed)
Malice 22:     Mocker's Tavern Poker Tourney
Malice 25-29:  The Great Serin Race

[Latest Public Postings:]
Malice 14:  Ibrayin posted "Gnome Hunting Party Wanted"
Piety 29:   Sylos posted "Caw Caw"
Piety 23:   Naredak posted "My Poem about Wilty Flowers I Wasn't Drunk When I Wrote"


Right now we are manually inputting the news, gossip, adverts and events. It would be nice to automate the events and public posting.

What exactly does a verified character mean? Is it like when you roll a new character and it asks something about the forum account?

Seems almost like a downfall for those who want to remain anonymous to players and immortals alike?

The only people that can see your account besides you are the ranking immortals who can already see your ip address.
