I suggest using the points and shop mods for phpBB forums to improve the role play. Countires could recive some "startup money" and would recive money for each post. They could then use the shops to but things like military elements/equipment, economic sectors, industry, goverment sectors/agencies, etc. I think this would greatly improve role play on the forums. Users could also make icons for the shops to gain more money.

Post your suggestion about the game in the NS2 forum.
Mods are not going to moderate RPs. It is up to the starter to keep in in check.
No polls in Tech please.

that would just promote spam

and redhawks, the tech forum can be a good place for polls as long as it has a point too it. ie, a poll for is this a good idea is ok. but a poll of 'neut got out of bed cranky thismorning' is not

This is a suggestion for a change to the forum, so it should be in tech. Neither does it suggest that mods moderate RPs. Also, as Lapse pointed out, polls are often a good idea in tech, although they do often tend to lead to people voting without making any good points on the subject

I sincerely doubt that those two mods are going to be even considered, let alone implemented. They don't really fit a nation-orientated RP system, and from my experience they're somewhat buggy. In any case, this is a modded version of phpbb anyway, so they woulnd't necessarily fit in. In any case, without further modification, only the admin can change shop settings, meaning that either [violet] or [reploidproductions] would have to set it up. Big drain on their time, when they could be doing far more important things

Implementing these mods would introduce quite a server load as well, on an already struggling machine.

And as for the 'money for each post'... don't even get me started on this one. It would simply increase spam, massively increase the mods' work in policing the forums, and all end in tears.

Not to mention the fact that half the RPers wouldn't use it, and then we'd see disagreements breaking out between those who've bothered to go around using the shop system, and other players who've ignored it over the subject of who actually has what...

So, without having any authority around here, I'm still going to say...

Not going to happen.

Phoebos is correct in every way, including that they will not be considered.
