I have a complaint.

[monkeyboyalpha]

Why am I locked out from replying to topics and posts in every section on this message board except for this entrance hall rubbish ???

Ive just seen an interesting topic in the Shogun section about the rate of fatigue on units, upon wanting to add a reply to gain more information I am told I am not allowed to reply in this section ??????

Why, have I been a bad boy or something and Im not allowed to go in and play ?????

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I understand its a good way to keep the spammers down and a good way to keep bandwidth usage under control, but as a 31 year old gamer I find it to be a rather poor way to administrate a message board
As a 31 year man I also do expect my rights to be able to talk freely in any section I desire to be upheld.

Hmmmmmmm

Thankfuly the TotalRock message board didnt operate such a policy and it was IkonBoard.

Also, thankfuly the main TotalWar.com message boards dont operate such a bizarre policy.

I think I shall return to the main TotalWar message boards thank you very much. Or do I have to raise my hand and wait for permmision to enter other board sections, a bit like when I was allllll the way back at school

Hi Welcome to the Org... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

That would be because your at a Junior Patron level...

Keep posting and the MODs will promote you after a while (probably a couple of days), your posts in the Entence Hall are monitored and many higher level members come back to check on posts in here because the Entrence Hall has a good level of discussion.

If you need a post moved to another forum just ask and a MOD or one of our esteemed members will happily copy and repost it on your behalf.

Just be patient and you will be promoted to Senior Patron within a few days and will get full access, think of it as a small evaluation.

(The policy is a good way of filtering out spammers and other abusers on the boards and keeps the level of discussion high in here)

The Org has some pretty good forums here and the CA Staff also tend to visit so its well worth the wait of a couple of days.

hang in there, you'll do fine

There is a sticky thread, titled New?, Please read this first

in this forum. It explains a lot.

The Org is different, and can take some acclimatizing, but I've found that the policies are generally worth it.

Anyway, Welcome

Hello monkeyboy.

You aren't the first, nor will you be the last to have issue with our posting policy. You are perfectly free to return to your other forums if our policy bothers you that much. Most of our patrons have come to appreciate its benefits. The limitations imposed by the policy are only as big a deal as you choose to make it. The Entrance Hall forum is open to all topics and many of the forum regulars (with 100's and 1000's of posts to their credit) visit, read and reply to topics in this forum. If you simply participate in the discussions here you should be promoted within a few days to a week.

Your age, occupation, TW game skill, modding knowledge and/or post count are irrelevant in the promotion process. We are looking only to weed out flamers, spammers and others who would disrupt the activities of these forums. Period. The patrons here like the friendly nature of the Org forums. Here they can interact with others without concern for receiving a profanity laden rant against them for a simple statement they made.

Lastly, if there is a topic you've read in another forum and you must reply to it, simply start a mirror copy in the Entrance Hall containing your response along with a request for the moderators to copy your response to the topic in question.

I hope you choose to stay, but I do understand if you find things here a bit repressive. To each his own. Here's wishing you continued enjoyment of the TW games regardless of which forums you choose to visit. The game is the important thing afterall.

The best threads are in the Tavern, Entrance Hall and the Monastery.

Watch out for the sarcastic Aussies though.
