Hello everybody, Deltablu here.
There is an important issue which I need to inquire the forum community about, and it involves the casting system of the Forum News Team.
Originally, we used a system where each caster could individually add a post whenever something interesting came up in the community, whether it was the verification of an insane/extreme demon, the completion of an extreme/insane demon. This system was helpful because it permitted casters to post as soon as a cast came out, allowing for the best possible way of delivering news to the forum community. However, it was disorganized, as anyone could post a cast without any template or way of organizing it.
Recently, we started using a new system, where every Monday, a caster was chosen from a set rotation to write a large and significant news cast. We thought this would be a great idea, as we could be WAY more organized while also being more informative. However, this all went downhill around a month ago when we learned that the community did not like this new system due to the fact that the news is usually reported late, and a lot of the information is redundant.
So this puts the news team at a conflict which promotes inactivity. We are in this position because we have a role to play on the forums, reporting news, and we are not able to fulfill it because we have come to an impasse.
I cannot make a decision to make everyone happy, as I do not know everything about everyone on the forums, and that is why I am yielding the decision to you, the forum community: Should we revert to the original news casting system or continue with the current one?
If we do revert, @themeaningfulgd , RyanAB , and I formulated an idea to organize the casts. Thanks to Lumpy , we have added subboards to the Community News board, where if reversion takes place, the casters will post their news in the subboard which corresponds to the topic discussed in the cast.
Please tell us what your opinion is, so we can make a final decision, and continue with our forum jobs.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and providing your opinion. All of the news team appreciates it greatly.
NOTE: In the poll, old system refers to switching back to the old system with the subboard change, and new system means continue with the large monday news casts.
