    The Feature and Idea Discussion section allows for players to propose their ideas to staff and collect opinions from a variety of player demographics on their proposal. The section aims to provide constructive feedback to their proposals and also allows staff to communicate the status of a possible implementation of a proposal, if it passes all required screenings and vettings. While we do not want to restrict creativity, there are a few regulations to keep this section orderly and pleasant for everyone. These rules are specific to this section but the overall forum rules still apply.

    Comprehensive list of rules as of August 19th, 2018
    • All proposals should be thought out in such a way that allows for staff to base a possible implementation of the thread. Threads such as “Rework Traits” or “Rework MassiveMobs” but failing to specify what should specifically be reworked are not allowed. This rule covers troll threads and spam threads. Also be sure to give solution ideas to any problems you present. This is not a vent section, but rather a place to suggest changes you feel should be implemented.
    • Please categorize your ideas according to the gamemode they are pertinent to. The Feature and Idea Discussion section is split up into 7 sections.
      • Factions - All features and ideas relevant to factions should be placed here.
      • Roleplay - All features and ideas relevant to roleplay and lore should be placed here.
      • PvP - All ideas relating to PvP should be placed here. Ideas that affect both PvP and Factions should be placed in the factions section.
      • Questing - All ideas related to quests and the MassiveQuests plugin should be placed here.
      • Server - This is for the overall server and if you are unsure of where to put your thread, feel free to put it here.
      • Events - All features and ideas relevant to Events should be posted here. This is mainly focused on Events at /tp Event, not RP events.
      • Archive - All old threads will be placed here. This is read-only and exists for archival and historical purposes, solely.
    • All replies to a thread should be constructive. Shutting down an idea because it does not follow your mindset is not allowed. Provide an actual argument on why you dislike the idea and even better, present ways to improve it. Staff saying that an idea cannot be implemented in a timely manner does not fall under this and is merely a fact that we, as a community, know the limitations of our Tech Department, and must act accordingly.
    • Before posting, please ensure to search for similar threads in the search box (top right). Please do not post new threads, rather post the topic underneath a similar/identical thread. All threads that do not follow this rule will be locked, and given the Duplicate label.
    • Bringing back reasonably well-thought out threads that have fallen to the back of the forums is completely fine. Please do not, however, resurrect a thread that has had no replies since 2012 for example. It is reasonable, however, to resurrect threads from 2016 onwards. Do not necro threads that discuss already implemented ideas.
    • What do the labels mean?
      • Implemented - This idea has been successfully implemented into the server!
      • Under Review - This idea is being reviewed by the staff
      • Pending Review - Default label applied to all new ideas
      • Rejected - This idea has been rejected by the staff
      • Duplicate - This idea is a duplicate of another idea
      • Dated - This idea is no longer relevant. IE, changes to a plugin that is no longer on the server.
