Hmm, I've seen several suggestions not quite like this but close so if you feel it needs to be locked then I wont mind, but even then, please do consider this. Now correct me if I am wrong, but the duties of a CM in game is to help out the community who needs support with whatever from safe trade evolutions where they wont get scammed to questions about how to reach island 4 and why there is no Moltres at top of Mt.Ember* [spoiler]The star one I can volunter to mislead anyone asking personally to take some of the stress of the CMs as I love telling people about the glitch where you can catch moltres before logging off for the first time with a 5% if you have unowns spelling out FIRE and come to mt.ember during ch6, all unowns would have to be catched since last cycle but that probably wont be a problem as you cant have logged of yet either[/spoiler] So again, correct me if I am wrong, but when you log on, the way the server autoassign you to channels is based first on the order of the channels, and then secondly at how full each of them are which in 9 out of 10 cases will mean you get signed in at ch1 2 or 3? Well if this is the case, wouldn't it also make sense if these are the channels assigned for new people (since newbs is taken so offensively at the internet) and old ones (if they also need it) should come and ask questions in channel chats? If all I have been saying so far (except the spoiler I suppose as I don't think you want to auto-assign people to talk with me about that given what kind of answers I would give) Well ok, so I suppose that was the introduction to my suggestion. Why not assign the CMs the responsible to stick to ch1 2 or 3, where they now can do what they voluntered for and answer questions in channel chat. This might be the last attempt on saving global since restricting talking power there to after 4th gym clearly did not work out well. Now if people need to ask questions, they can do so in ch1 2 or 3 instead where the CMs (hopefully) will be more than happy to answer them, also those who like to help out the community can go to these channels and have fun answering questions. Meanwhile we can only hope global returns to what it used to be early September and from the stories we've been told, before (Hey Augusts) ;) Pros/cons [spoiler] Pros: would decrease the need and desire some of the older player has for "veteran channels" and such which promote elitism in the view of the developers which you don't want to promote. Would give the community easier way to get their storyline questions answered (those that is missed out in FAQ I suppose) by both the community managers and those who now go tho those channels along with CMs to show their support in spoon-feeding skills. Would to some degree decrease the wordwars that often do occur in global between spoonfeeders and old people who prefer teaching people how to fish instead of giving fishes away. Cons Trolls and provokers would now easier find channels which isn't moderated to do their provoking and start unnecessary wordwars in order of hate for religion/race/country/digimon(other games) CMs would no longer have the chance to take their (in some cases well deserved breaks, in other cases leaving their duties to the spoonfeeders who will do it for them anyway in hope to be one of them). Some of the CMs would lose contact with their team who is more or less based in certain channels which you wouldn't autolog into (Marleyrose Gilgamesh comes to mind) (then again, I suppose Marley wouldn't be affected by this, at least not yet, as she isn't a in game CM or at least wasn't last time I saw her) [/spoiler] TL;DR: CMs voluntered to help the community with questions? Let them do so in ch1-3 and leave the others for conversations among those who play the game and don't need to ask how to do so nor is interested in telling those who do how to do so.
