NAME: Mei GAMEPLAY SUGGESTION(S): A standalone community for quest givers and their boards for easier management.
community membership can only be given to those who do have the ability to give quests for obvious reasons.
each quest giver can post their board every month with new stuff and they can be tagged via month.
additional tags besides unseelie and seelie could be used as well. neutral. location specific tags. political, action, war, etc. that way players can click on a tag they're interested in (trade for example) and see boards that have quests related to what they want for their character.
this would make it easier for people to know when new quests were available because they could track the community for new posts (especially ones that are tagged unseelie or seelie) or subscribe so they can see when there's a new set of quests on their friends list.
right now the current system leaves it so people delete or screen comments which makes it harder for folks to follow, though if mod account was maintainer of the community they could see all screened comments. plus there wouldn't be a need to screen them necessarily if the posts were being cycled out every time there was an update.
old posts that are expired could be members locked so that only maintainers + current quest givers can see them as well.
obviously they can still pimp them out via plurk or ooc post, this would just make it easier all around just to have them in the same journal instead of spread out across pages.
plus it's obnoxious to have to read sometimes in someone's journal layout (even if that can be fixed with a simple ?=site or whatever), but for those who wouldn't know the fix this could make it easier.
This cuts down on the clutter in user journals as well as make it easier for all players to locate quests as they would be located in a single journal (or community in this case) with the ability to sort through tags. The cons of a system of this nature is maintaining yet another community plus the possibility of spam when it comes to pimping the post out. I think having a permanent record of past quests in a single area would be beneficial to players, especially new quest givers who might want to look over past ideas for inspiration and limitations.
