THREAD RULES
These rules apply specifically to the Reminders for AO thread (all parts).
Posts:
Please only post either:
- Trello update (includes new patch notes, card update, etc.)
- Twitter/X post
- Only post twitter/X updates if it contains new information. (Leaks, showcase videos, dev updates.)
- QOTD and images not of new features do not count.
- Discord news/dev update/leaks - Same rules as Twitter/X posts.
- New Patreon content - ONLY POST THE BLURRED VERSION - DO NOT LEAK THE FULL PATREON POST OR YOU WILL BE MUTED
Replies
Please follow the rules:
- Direct reply to a POST (see above) is allowed.
- E.g. User1 posts a dev update on new magic visuals. User2 replies: “Vetex also stated that ___ magic will be revamped!” THIS IS ALLOWED
- Users can not reply to User2’s post. Take that to the Discussion Thread
- If you don’t have anything to add to the note, and you just want to say something like “wow that looks cool,” please refrain from doing so in this thread if someone else already said something similar. This is so the thread can be easier to read without scrolling through comments that don’t give any updates.
- E.g. User1 posts a dev update on new magic visuals. User2 replies: “Vetex also stated that ___ magic will be revamped!” THIS IS ALLOWED
What’s not allowed
- Posting leaks of patreon (this will result in a mute, if it was unintended, please delete it immediately.)
- Discussion about updates/patch notes etc. Use the Discussion Thread Your message(s) will be deleted, and if it’s a repeat offense you will be muted.
- Replying to replies - again, use the Discussion Thread. same as above.
If you are unsure about a rule or something that is not listed here, feel free to PM me through the forum’s messaging system.
Repeated rule breaks will result in a mute ranging from 1 day to 1 week - depending on severity (in this case, how many times you’ve broken the rules/your general attitude in this thread)
In case you were wondering why there are rules for this thread:
Reminders for AO was a thread intended for posting Trello updates for the game, which started back in World of Magic. It hit the forum’s topic limit of 10k messages multiple times, but mainly due to discussions and debates about updates that sometimes became hundreds of posts long, which made it a hassle to find the next actual update.
Due to this, there were people who didn’t want discussion happening in the thread, and some forum mods agreed, which led to Cryonical & Divanochi essentially handling the thread’s moderation.
Previously when people went off-topic, the posts would be moved to the discussion thread by moderators, but it quickly also became a hassle due to the amount of derailing, so Cryo made a bunch of announcements about it (see above).
Thread moving ended up turning into message deletion, which I’ve been handling for the past few weeks, but because there is still frequent discussion, we decided to finalize on some rules and take the thread more seriously.
TL;DR (this is only for the above paragraphs READ THE RULES!!!):
People want to read updates/patch notes.
please take discussion to the Discussion Thread
