Better use for the News Box

While there isn’t a poll to be voted on this is still a suggestion.

I think we have to find a better use for the News Box than to be told that kids have been murdered, there has been an Earthquake and if you go to the Lake District snow will killed you. I know this is all news but surely there is something happier to report on or, now this one is crazy, I know, but have some news on computer games. After all we are a computers games forum! I know a few people forget that… all the time, but it true. And also that link to the chat room in the news won’t work.

So, let think of better uses for the News Box. My idea is to put game news in it and so maybe a topic can then be started in order to talk about said news.

There IS no major news in the world of computer games. It's just filler =/...

Look around more sites then. I think the whole Queen enjoys playing the Wii could have gone in there.

We, me and Andy, wanted to have it changed to 'The billboard' because we noticed how little it is used for news, then when I'm told we can't change its header and am told to use it for its purpose, you don't like that either.

¬¬
When we go to Zeta we can let certain members update it, you can give people access to only certain parts of the ACP. =]

The link won't work because you need to install it first. Then it will be in Tools.

I think it should be changed to "The billboard".At least then it doesnt really matter if its game news or thought of the day or anything..

It probably will be more use when on the zeta board someone (or maybe a few people) will be in charge of it like Ryan said. (unless I misunderstoood and he meant members can, but wont actually be given the ability to...)

I thought Members could only do the following on Zetaboards if given permission..

Quote:
 
Member Managers - Can process name change requests, process new account request, and edit member accounts.

Theme Managers - Can add, edit, or remove themes, emoticons, and gallery avatars.

Domain Managers - Has full access to the domain manager.

Website Managers - Has full access to manage webpages.


Anyway, if people would like other things to be put in the News Table, why dont you set up a topic, requesting for something to be in the News Box. This way making people happier for something they want to be shown on there (Thats if its accepted)
and will give Ryan and/or Cieran a break and stop looking for these things, which then you dont like.

Ah.. Okay.. Im guessing that counts as the Board Template then?

If your going to do that your really going to have to trust the person / people you put up to do it.

It appears that I've been ignored. Twice...

I was going to be lazy and quote my own post. But I can't find it anyway linking to the rules in the news box if they aren't already there and then linking to topics like advertise your site and Youtube topics in the rules should help clear up some spam. Then we can warn people who do otherwise. I don't agree with you giving warnings when there's no direct information regarding it. The rules don't state that you can't post them, the topic is often over looked (hell, I don't even know where it is) and nobody knows when the rules are updated because they aren't bumped.

That is all. I'm still the annoying Noolsey I always way. ^_^

I only ignored it because when I scanned through it on the staff boards it meant nothing clear and imparticular.
If you say what you want I'll probably do it.

I want to rename it the "Noticeboard"

In the quick links drop down box there should be a link to the rules page. If it's the first (ie, showing all of the time) there's no reason to argue with not abiding by or seeing new rules.

On the rules page there should be a link to the pages: Plug Your Site, Leave/Returning Topic, Welcome Yourself To The Site and **Post Your Videos Here!**.

I can do the first but not the second. There's a rules topic link on the index..

Well its up to Cieran but really only rules and other important stuff should go in there.. but I suppose an important links section won't hurt seeing as there's a member group guide and pip guide..
