    Suggestion: as the title says: to place the weekly status reports within the news/announcement section. If that's not possible, to make their own section and publicize them

    Reason: The weekly reports are a great idea. really. I was waiting for them. But I just discovered them by sheer chance... I don't know whether it's my absent-mindedness' fault or not, but I think they should be more visible.

    Any Other Information: I understand that Nicit takes care of those, while Phys is only allowed to the news section, but I can't see a reason why a staff member couldn't be allowed to publish in the news area. But, if that's not feasible, I still think that the weekly status reports deserve their own section and must be publicized massively.

    It would make sense. Its a server announcement/ discussion so I don't see why not.

    Right now I issue an in game alert when I make the thread, though I do agree they could use more publicity.

    Only thing with the news section is that then there is no place for discussion on them, though this may not entirely be needed.
    Maybe if they were on the anouncement page people would tell me of their events so that we could get some player involvement ;-;

    True. Though it might not seem so important, I think that a weekly discussion on the news would be important, at the very least to give feedback to staff.
    Maybe do both? I mean: put the weekly status reports in the announcement section, and in every report post put a link to the relative weekly report discussion thread (which could be in general discussion at this point).

    Yes there is. Its just that permission in that node would need to be changed. All threads that are to allow discussion in would just be unlocked.
