Asylum Announcement - 3/29

[Strwrsbob]

As of today, the Asylum forum has been set to an approval-only setting. This means that any thread posted will be reviewed by a Moderator before it is posted publicly. This is done to ensure quality of all threads, as the Asylum was intended to be.

So, what are we looking for? Just a well-thought, grammatically correct theory that includes some form of research or in-game validity. You may also present any type of research you've done in here, along with links to your sources.

The overall goal of the Asylum is to be a "die-hard" forum, where thoughts are generated and studied, with the whole community. Please, no arguments here. If you have a suggestion / opinion for someone, do it thoughtfully & maturely.

Threads will be approved quickly by Moderators, so there won't be a long delay in waiting for approval time.

Thanks & Happy theorizing,

Great to hear! Thanks Bob. :)

Great, with how inactive the staff is we'll never have threads here. :roll: Haha, just kidding. Mods can approve it too right? Not just admins? Because if so, it will work in that case.

Thank you. This makes me happy.

Mods can. I currently am.

Okay, great. I love this then. NO MORE KITCHENS.

[MegaAfroMan]

Well, no kitchens in asylum. They'll still appear elsewhere with little resistance. :P

[MysteryMachineX]

So, do posts have to be approved or is it just threads?

[MysteryMachineX]

Well I guess that answers my question. Well I think this is a polar move.

When this system was in place before, the Asylum was nearly a wasteland. People always claimed no one would ever comment. Recently, the Asylum is overrun.

Simply enough, if you make everything need to be reviewed, you get too few people.

If you make nothing need to be reviewed, you get too many people.

If you make threads need to be reviewed, NOT posts, then you encourage people to post on these mighty topics, rather than let them sit and collect dust.

Unfortunately Bob doesn't see any simple ways to allow that.

He said he'll look into it though.

[GRILL]

so glad this has been implemented, thanks for doing this Bob!

I've got a super epic juicy thread I've been working on. CAN'T WAIT TO SUBMIT IT.

[Lenne]

Can't you guys do the same for the story section?

That only the threads have to be approved but not the posts?

[Lenne]

Oh... nevermind. :lol:

[zombo187]

Thats good news. I wondered why Asylum wasn't already like this. I guess I have my answer.

[PINNAZ]

Good Stuff!

The former Asylum has a total of nearly 3 pages & this asylum has many in only 5 months.

Is it possible for someone to go through the topics in here & move the ones that aren't up to scratch to the Story Discussion section. Speaking of this, could the Story Discussion be moved to the front page (above the Asylum) as a forum which is noticeable for users that just want to ask questions or post ideas that aren't Asylum posts? This makes the general section a lot less cluttered too.

Is it also possible to have the 'Map Speculation' topics in here moved to the "Future Zombies" section? Although some are of high quality, they don't really belong in here.

I hope there is some action on this & i look forward to some great threads bring created in here.

Thanks again.

Hmmm some of my posts can be a little shatty sooo... I suppose I could up the anti...

[Doppelgänger]

Can someone tell me how long we should be waiting in order to have our post or thread approved?

[CODBO2RGM2]

Not too sure about it. But it would be nice so others will not be jerks to others. Overall, pretty nice for a content monitoring system.
