    [GM]Saidin is part of the Z8Games staff...

    He gets tons of PMs from everyone.

    nope. Saidin is a GM.. Game Master. Like a FallenAngel or HPX. They aren't a usual members of the community or Z8Games staff. They decide policy here. So - let's free them from the PM from users. All users must write in a special place in the forum. I don't see any necessity in a PM to GM's from users.

    [GM]Saidin's a GM, also known as a game manager, not a game master. FallenAngel is a game manager as well, while [GM]Hpx is a game master. A game manager and a game master are two different positions and call-signs.

    FallenAngel and Hpx aren't as active users on the community forums as Saidin is, therefore not a lot of users notice them and PM them. Again, this toleration of all users being able to post in special places of the forums will only cause nothing else but spam and unnecessary comments.

    PMs are to privately be able to communicate with the staff and of course, all the other users, that's what PMs are for. Some messages may be very important that people don't wish for others to know of, that's why it's necessary to PM [GM]Saidin. If there's a such forum board, or special place as you said, where we can express our thoughts and post whatever we wish to, it's not as private anymore. Instead it's completely open for everyone to read.

    That's why making a sub-forum where you can talk to MODs, GM's, etc. where only you and them can see your threads is a great idea. It's very much possible on vBulletin.

    dude, at first - please, SHUT UP.
    you are rude and have bad manners.
    at second, i mean what GM's is a part of Z8Games staff, but not a usual members of the staff.
    at third, forget about me and don't write to me more. OK?
  • If anything, this'll create even more spam
    ^This, because everyone will just be there spam complaining to him.

    i agreed with your opinion partially...
    yes, sometimes we need to PM [GM]'s... but, SOMETIMES... RARELY...
    and only in exceptional cases. The main communication must be opened for community, imho.

    Not quite necessary at all...

    I personally would like to have my own privacy. But as cfUGL stated, there could be a private option where only you and Saidin can see each other's messages and notifications of each other's messages being posted. In addition, be able to completely block and avoid other posts.

    my suggestion must lead to down spam to GM's, because it's not too easy - find in a BIG basket of spam something urgent and important. my suggestion must lead to improve communication between a game administration and users.
  • no he must have some privacy anyway 90% of players would ask him to buy them ZP -.-

    i read the GM-Saidin's open letter to all and propose: let's open a sub forum, which must replace a PM for him. I bet, that solution can help [GM]Saidin to communicate with all community and stop spam in other forums.
    That is why we have a lot of MODS on this forums.

    If it's only selected people who can post, how would the staff decide upon that? No, by unfairness I mean the fact that many people who will not be selected to be able to post in the sub-forum their ideas/complaints/messages. By spam, I simply mean that there obviously will be an abundant amount of different topics being discussed by the selected forumers and messages directed straight to Saidin regarding just about everything of the game, forums, and their issues. Without a doubt, I believe he probably will not have time 24/7 to reply to every single message.

    What about the urgency and the importance of those messages? There could be a big event or tournament occuring and someone may be looking to message Saidin regarding it. But instead all the different other messages would simply drown it like a pebble in the ocean.

    What I'm saying is that it's not a very good idea to implement a sub-forum board where all discussions and open topics are tolerated. Of course, with some little improving and more rules set for such a forum board, it can be available for everyone to use. But for now, I'll just stick to privately inboxing him if necessary.

    I never said that this sub-forum will be there to prevent messaging a specific GM. (which is completely not going to happen, btw)

    my idea is basically that we have a sub-forum where the most "intelligent" people of the forum gather and discuss ideas, future events, suggestions, improvements, something like that.

    it doesn't even have to be seen by the public, only the few people would be able to see it. again, this is not a alternative of messaging a GM.
