-LOCKED - Community Helping System, CoC update, and more! | |
Posted on 2018-03-02 10:42:05
Updates and Adjustments * Gold Beetle sales now have an automatic expiry time of 1 week from when they were first listed. Current listings that have existed prior to this update have been given an expiry date of 9th March (1 week from today). This expiry will be separate from Rollover, so it's not 7 Rollovers - it's 7 real life days. * Chat now uses standard date format. Instead of hh:mm:ss, mm/dd/yy it's now yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. * Frequently Asked Questions can now be directly linked to, similarly to forum posts. The link is posted under each FAQ, just click on it and copy the address in the bar (e.g. http://www.lioden.com/faq.php?cat=1#1). Anyone who clicks it will be taken right to the relevant question. * A link to post directly on the Help Board has been added to the very top of the FAQ section of the game. * The price of increasing Marking Slots on lions has been reduced from 1GB per slot to 500SB per slot. Helpers and the Helper Hub We have a new Helper system in place as of today. We want to let it be known that we are deeply grateful for the Helpers that we have worked alongside for the past months and, in some cases, years. But it is time for an update to the system. From now on, we will not be hiring Helpers as part of a team. Instead, we will be relying on community-sourced help on our Help Board (formerly "I'm Lost"). A bit like Yahoo Answers, actually. Members can post for help on the board, other members can reply with helpful information. Replies to Help topics can be rated based on whether or not they offer helpful information. Over time, members can accrue a secret "Helper Rating" based on how many of their posts have been marked as helpful. But what about Helper paws? Helper Paws will be disappearing, as paws are a symbol of a handpicked team. We will instead be utilising the Community Owl badge as we recently stopped awarding it to members. The way of earning an Owl badge is to be active and helpful in the Help board. Instead of handing out an application form on an infrequent basis, we will be reviewing members' helper scores. After a certain threshold has been met, we will award the Helper Owl to members who have proven themselves to be particularly helpful. Members who have already earned themselves a Community Owl will be able to keep it in this new system. The Helper Hub will be removed and all questions will be redirected to the Frequently Asked Questions section or the Help Board. If you have a ticket open in the Helper Hub, it will be automatically marked as resolved today. If your question did not get answered, please post on the Help board! So from now on - please vote on replies to Help board posts that are useful and contribute towards providing a community-driven help system! If you need staff to clarify something for community that seems to require a check with staff, feel free to modbox your question and mention that community seems to be unclear on the answer. Code of Conduct Change With this new system, there's always the chance it could be open for abuse. For this reason, we have implemented the following into the Code of Conduct: Do not solicit Help board post votes from other users. For example: - Asking other members to vote a specific way (either Yes or No) for your post - Offering rewards for voting a specific way for your post We'd like to note that anyone who will be trolling the new system and spamming downvotes to all posts, will be treated as a troll according to CoC. Raffle LionessCongrats Xylocopa (#137297)! You have won the last raffle lady! New lady with the Woodlands of Zanzibar BG is up for impressing in Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under News Post List! Polls and dev notes Thanks for voting for marking colours! Looks like you guys might want more countershaded markings!

Owls aren't staff, it's still the same community contributor thank you badge, but it gives player an oppoturnity to earn it and be visible to community and us more! You guys have no responsibility, however if you want it removed ofc just message katze or ness! 0 players like this post! Like? |

Thanks for clarifying Xy, that’s more or less what I figured. Hopefully the new system should work well once everyone gets used to it 0 players like this post! Like? |

So the helpers weren't told at all about this change, and they found out along with everyone else? That's very disappointing to hear that they were treated like that. 0 players like this post! Like? |

As an ex-helper, I'm actually kind of glad the Helper system is no longer in place. During my time as one, I started to feel as though it wasn't really a necessary thing to have. Imo, the focus should be placed on guides and the help forums, and now it is, which I think is good. The Helper Hub honestly just seemed to encourage people to ask questions they easily could have found answers to if they just looked at the I'm Lost forums... or just Googled it. Helper just didn't really seem like a necessary staff position to have, in all honesty. Also, "* The price of increasing Marking Slots on lions has been reduced from 1GB per slot to 500SB per slot." This is really nice! 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 02/03/18 @ 13:38:02 by Thalath💞 (#41669) |

I'm glad about the changes, but I also have concerns. For the players who have more..private concerns, would they still be required to post on the helper board or would they be able to contact someone privately? I understand being able to be helped as a general topic such as breeding and the like, or really anything in Lioden. However, what about the matters such as curiosity on another player's behalf, such as harassment and the like? Of course -- this community is quite amazing so I doubt that could happen. Just being a curious person o.o. 0 players like this post! Like? |
