| The '''Graal Communication Center ''' is the official forum of [[GraalOnline]].
| | {{antiunix}} |
| | |
| The official name is ''Graal Communication Center (reserved for gold and vip subscribers)'', but only [[Unixmad]] calls it that.
| |
| | |
| == Structure ==
| |
| | |
| The forum is currently divided into [[GCC:Section]]s: the [[GCC:General Section]], [[GCC:Gold Section]], [[GCC:3D Section]], [[GCC:Playerworlds Section]], [[GCC:Development Section]] and [[GCC:Private Section]].
| |
| Each section holds multiple [[GCC:Subforum]]s.
| |
| | |
| A oversized moderation force with not equally balanced qualification is moderating the Graal Communication Center. Some [[GCC:Moderator]]s moderate one or more individual subforums or a whole forum section. Some subforums are not moderated directly, and more interesting ones are overseen by multiple moderators. [[Spark911]], [[Kamuii]] and [[Moon Goddess]] are still [[GCC:Super moderator]]s, and thus should be fairly moderating the whole Communication Center.
| |
| [[MagicalTux]] from the [[Cyberjoueurs]] offices is also serving as forums administrator.
| |
| | |
| == Access ==
| |
| | |
| [[Gold account|Gold]] and [[VIP account|VIP]] accounts can access the board freely, with no restrictions. Since Christmas of 2004, [[Classic account]]s are also able to use the board, but they are forced to wait eight hours between making consecutive posts.
| |
| | |
| It is against the [[GCC:Rules]] of the forums to post messages from or for non-members of the forums. This is to prevent [[Account sharing]], which was very common in the forum's past and arguably had a negative influence on the motivation to buy a [[Gold account]].
| |
| | |
| == Neutrality ==
| |
| | |
| Unsurprisingly, the forums are very biased towards the [[Graal administration]]. Sadly, the [[Forum administration]] considers it neccessary to enforce this bias with rules that make ''any'' kind of [[GCC:Negativity|criticism]] a [[ban]]worthy action. Thus, it is not possible to discuss [[ban]]s, actions of [[GraalOnline]] considered harmful or unfair, or shortcomings of the adminstration including [[Playerworld staff]] or the [[Gold server]]s.
| |
| | |
| Luckily, the most conservative moderators seem to have grown increasingly [[Spark911|igno]][[Moon Goddess|rant]] of these issues.
| |
| | |
| == Curiosities ==
| |
| | |
| * Two miscreants ([[Zurkiba]] and one as-yet-unnamed member) were [[ban|banned]] by [[Unixmad]] as part of a continuing (and utterly futile) drive to make the forums into a nicer place. More details [[Unixmad_swears_death_and_vengeance_on_inappropriate_words|here]].
| |
| * Apparently, now even [[Moon Goddess suggests that you should stop playing Graal]].
