Town message board
« on: January 30, 2010, 04:17:07 pm »

THE BOARD

The idea is simple. In the cotrolable towns(Modoc, Redding, Den etc.) should stand the message board. It already does in some of them. On that board, the gang in control could write down the message for the incoming people. Stuff like that the city is lawless, or that you should get out or that it is guarded by NA and much more. The gang in cotrol could write down the radio channel, where one can contact them if troubles appears. Maybe some short trade message? The possibilities are numerous. There also could be some sort of fixed message when the town could be taken over.

It would be just a little step to make the northern cities a little bit more pleasent place to stay.

It's a good idea, but I think they will be used for spam/trolling etc. anyway..

Well, it would be up to the gang that controls the town, and I know that for example Orphans are realy working on making the Den nice place to hang out, they could realy use that feature.

Two things:
Msg writer shall be ID-able. So if he'll troll/mess/spam/whatever, it could be reported, restrictions like perm-ban of a character/IP should do the work :P

Also, only leader of faction controlling town should be able to write the msg, maybe through the faction's base computer (it can be easier to check reports/control spam etc).

You'll find out that sooner or later anyway  ;)

Nevertheless, good idea. Those bulletin boards could be used to basically all kinds of messages from wanted signs to barter offers. The problem is that the board is very small. Not many people would fit next to it and they would be easy targets to thievery and bombing. There's nothing wrong with stealing from vulnerable targets but that would cause people not to use those boards.

Very nice idea.

Other way is you pay to the mayor of the city xx caps for each text line you want to write (that lower spam).
The text will be erased passed 24h real time (that limit number of post on the board).

If a gang control the town, he can "moderate" the board by erasing some message.

Just make leader of gang that controls city to be able to modify board. Simple.

I think it is important that people who dont have gang can use it, for trading offers or other post.

Or make one part where only the gang who control the city can change it and the other free for all.
