New forum (poll section): Community Issues
Posted: May 25th, 2011, 10:41 am
I have created a new feature for the site that I plan to use more and more in months to come.
This feature is an additional forum dedicated to community issues. In this forum, people who actively contribute to maintaining and growing our community can vote on issues. This includes all senior staff members as well as anyone who donates. All other users are able to read the topic and reply to existing topics, but they cannot vote.
The new forum (polling section) can be found here: http://www.tsugaming.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=748
A sticky has been created in that forum explaining how it works. As a courtesy, I have quoted it below.
Issues that will be discussed include:

A sticky has been created in that forum explaining how it works. As a courtesy, I have quoted it below.
Issues that will be discussed include:
- How to spend donations
- Anything involving expansion/growth
- Any "disciplinary issues"
- Feedback on site/forums changes
- etc.
If you are not a senior staff member and want to be more involved in the community, please consider making regular donations. One of the main ideas behind this new feature is to give more power to the people who contribute to the community more than they take from it. We have always promoted democratic ideals in this community (and will continue to do so even for those who cannot vote by allowing them to reply and voice their opinion). Those who donate are added to a "Donors" group which gives them their permissions. If you are removed from this group (because you do not donate regularly, or haven't donated in a long time) you will no longer be able to vote in important issues.fl00d3d wrote:This "forum" is a new way for senior level leadership in TGN (and in some cases, TsuGaming.com) to create topics about community issues in which the entire community can read and discuss. However, only people who donate and senior leadership are able to place an actual vote.
The reason for this setup is two-fold:Who can CREATE Community Issue polls?
- To allow active participation of ALL members while leaving the final decision to the staff
- To encourage donations
