Status Request on Technical Suggestions

There have been a couple of suggestions made, both recently and not so recently, that have been received with fairly positive attitudes from officials but have then faded into obscurity. Rather than digging up the threads from a while back, I thought I'd just post them here:


Use of word censors in forums to provide easy ways of giving common links/answers to queries. E.g. #gettinghelp# converts to a link to and explanation of the getting help page.
Telegram RSS feed


[Violet] also made a comment a while back about adding extra data to the XML feeds. Any news on this/hints on what might be included?

Ah yes. Thanks for this. First note. There is currently a feature freeze on the game. Nothing but critical patches will be implemented for the time being.

I did try the word censor trick (with the help of [rep]) but it didn't work.

Telegram RSS feed. We're still waiting on this one and will discuss it after the freeze.

Delegates tabling proposals. We're still hashing out details and work will move more solidly into consideration after the freeze.

If there are any other big ideas that I'm missing and need an update from the modling, please post them here.

Thanks for the update, Oh Masked One. Nice to know that our suggestions don't just disappear down a rathole.


Does the freeze have anything to do with an update to the server or the forums software? Or are there Things That Go Bump In The Night that you're not telling anyone about? :)

It's about things that go bump in the night.

Like Lobsters, they go bump in the night.
