Great idea, but would people notice that?

People don't read the WFE? :o

We could also pin a dispatch to the top. Would that be better than a line in the WFE?

If it isn't already, it could be put in the welcome TG.

I feel like noobs will only read a few lines of it before skipping down, at least that's what I did when I was new to ns and in the pacific. I guess us gamesiders are just lazy :p It could also help to ask people to direct any questions to the LC and delegate at the top of the dispatch Vietnam was talking about. I mean, if we do it at the top of the dispatch that's being handed out, in the wfe and in the welcome telegram (which, I'm gonna be honest is usually so long in ns that I've never in the history of the game actually read one for any region) then noobs are bound to see it at least once >~>

For the RMBers here, how much more inconvenient would it be for you if several classes of posts were relegated to certain dedicated RMBs (Knowhere, Psomewhere, etc.)? Which classes of posts do you think would/should move, and which wouldn't/shouldn't?

It seems like you're talking expressly about rp, or maybe that's just my rmb experience talking, since when topics like this are brought up it's always been directly or indirectly pointed at rp, honestly I can't even think of a 'class of post' other than rp that officials would want to move.

I think the rmb's problems with rp have been a matter of extremes. When rp was regulated to just knowhere and psomewhere it was basically the place rp went to die. When rp was let to run rampant it completely took the rmb by storm and annoyed many of the users who weren't happy with all the 'hug spam'. More recently LCs have tried to loosely control rp by regulating the number of posts of rp in a row before it should be moved, but this initiative is widely unenforced. Basically, restriction of rp to only specific places kills the rp, no restriction can kill the rmb, and somewhere in between is usually too vague a policy for anyone to actually follow it. I think the best solution would probably to go somewhere in between, allowing a little informal rp on the rmb but regulated extended informal rp and all formal rp to boards, but if a policy like this were to be adopted, all the LC would have to be on board, not just a few, and it would have to actually be enforced, but even a solution like this, as pipe dreamy as it is, isn't likely to completely solve the problem of rmb rp.

The weird thing is, though I completely agree with you, this wasn't a problem back in 2016 and most of 2017. It's just been the last year and half that this has developed. :/

I think it's because there's been a massive influx in dedicated rmbers semi-lately, especially ones interested in rp, even if not all of them are new nations many are old nations who hadn't posted for a long time then suddenly became regulars. Because of this, any attempt to regulate rp really hurt the rmb cause many of the new rmbers first became interested because of the rp and, on the converse, when rp was allowed to continue as usual it may have become a problem for the first time because of all the new rmbers interested in it, making it very spammy by necessity due to the sheer numbers of people who were participating, also in part due to the new rp rmbers not being as experienced with the rp and thus tending to lead rp in a somewhat repetitive, spammy fashion.

That's just some musing on the possible causes though, I don't think we can really derive a solution from it since we can't just start asking the new nations to stop being active :p
