Denied [Website & Forums Suggestion] Info on town post signs mayor app

on the application there is a box you have to tick that says "i have read the instructions" right under said box is a link to the application instructions that states very clearly how to set town posts

This is the link to the application, I dont think we need to change anything personally, if u tick the box you must have read the instructions?

 

-1.

The previous replies sum up my thoughts pretty well.

Discussing the amount of time it takes to process the application, if you check off the box saying you read the instructions, and you didn't follow the instructions, then not only did you not tell the truth, but you're also using up the GA's time by having to check the app twice. If anything, I think it's justified that if you don't follow the instructions and lie, then you pay the price -- a longer time for your app to get pushed.

 

according to our gameadmin guidelines

"rule 4b. If there is no signpost on top of the town posts, you can still proceed with the application, just look for some sort of indication such as a dirt pillar at the coordinates they want the town placed."

so although town post SIGNS are not necessary, it does help to keep things consistent and clearly marked out for the game admin setting the town.
Therefore it would be down to our discretion or freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation, and if the town posts are not clear then we simply ask for a review of the posts to ensure the user is happy and we have a clear understanding as towns cannot be deleted or remade by a gameadmin.

I personally think the response time for town applications is good, Theres is enough game admins and we get to the applications usually before the 24hour mark, which is our target for town applications. I really don't think anything needs to change.

 

the guidelines and rules are clear, they are constructed the way they are, to ensure consistency

 

there is no discrepency, we just have the ability to be a slightly bit lenient, at our own discretion to assist newbies in the town creation process. weather its a sign post or a dirt stick its not hard to match the cordinates given to the post in question, unless it is, and which case we will communicate with said person
theres hundreds of towns on ecc currently who have all followed the same process and theres 0 we have not been able to find a solution for. I think we are loosing track of this thread
my understanding, the suggestion is : Info on town post signs mayor app + we already have those instructions and guides in place, the only way we can further assist is to physically place the town posts for the new players ourselfs, which is much more phsyically demanding and in rare cases we actually do assist if need be.

 

these 2 residents in question
1 had no posts and no signs and no clear indication of the posts (who i assisted in placing them)
and the second has signs in place but another town name on the signs leading me to question weather the right cordinates were provided

 

I will take a look at this and decide if anything needs to be done.

 

There is no need for any wording change.

Using signs is always recommended. The GA simply have discretion freedom to possibly not require signs if the outline is otherwise clear.
Requiring signs/more clarification (if needed) from the user for town placement isn't slowing down town apps enough for us to be concerned about it.
