Hi everyone!
This idea is a modified copy of philosorted's idea in the Hungarian Grepolis Forum. The name of the official version is Update of the alliance forum, and available by this link (in Hungarian, of course).
Proposal
There are two types of the forum tabs now: the normal, public, and the hidden forum. All the hidden forum is visible for the players, who have the right. Therefore, we need changes.
There are spies in many big alliance. So, if a group of members in the alliance want to attack, and conquer a city of an enemy, the spy will say that to him/her, and the enemy's alliance will be ready for the attack. Therefore, if a group want to make a co-ordinated attack, they have to discuss in mail, or need a hidden forum. But if they got the rights to see the hidden forums, they will see all of the hidden forums, and if there is a separate forum tab for the leaders, it will be visible for these members... But, if it was possible to separately make a form tab visible only for a few members, who are added by name, this problem would be resolved.
Have you Checked the DNS and PSI lists in the Archives? Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested?
I must admit that I didn't check all of the threads, but I check some of them, and I believe, there isn't any ideas like this.
Reason
With this idea we could decrease, or maybe clear away the danger of the spies' activity in the alliance. In addition, we can make visible forum tabs only for those members, who are interested in it. (e.g. Where there are a separate forum tab for all Ocean, where they have members, every member would see only the forum tab of his/her own ocean, and not the other ocean forum tabs.)
Details
We need a new type of the forum tabs besides the public, and the hidden (only for leaders, and council members), the one, what is visible only for those members, who are added by the leader/forunder. The Leaders/Founders could control the forums like this, and they could decide that, who will see the forum tab. Of course, leaders/founders would automatically see all of the forum tabs.
What is it good for? Against spies, to members can avoid the forum tabs, what he/she don't need (e.g. forum tabs of other oceans), the team could be divided into groups on the forum, without they can see the hidden (Council) forum.
I would like to share an example. Let's say, there is an alliance, called Alliance01, what have 15 members for the sake of simplicity. The members are:
Player01, Player02, Player03, Player04, Player05, Player06, Player07, Player08, Player09, Player10, Player11, Player12, Player13, Player14, Player15
The first 10 players are on the Ocean 43, and the other 5 players are on the Ocean 33. They want to make 2 ocean forum tab, but Player13, and Player14 complained. They didn't want to see the Ocean 43 forum, because it's unnecessary for them. So the Founder didn't make ocean forum tabs, because they cant make forums what is visible only for the members, who are added.
Player01 is the Founder. Player02 is the Leader. Player03 and Player04 are council members. These four people can see the Hidden, Council forum.
They want to make a mission, a coordinated attack against EnemyPlayer01's city. They want Player05, Player06, Player07, Player08, and Player09 to be apart of this. They would like to discuss and to make plans on the forum. But, they know that, they have a spy. They know that, the spy is one of these members: Player11, Player12, Player13, Player14, Player15, but they dont know wich.
So, they can't plan the mission in the public forum. Maxbe in a new public forum... But if they give the rights the members, who are apart of the action, they wil also see the Council forum, which is full of secret informations...
If they could make a forum for these members, and they could add them by name, there wouldn't be danger.
The function would be available between allies, too, therefore, there could be a shared forum tab what is visible only for a few members in Ally01, and only for a few members in Ally02...
The members could be added like alliances in shared forums. Pictures are visible below.
Visual Aids
Sorry, I didn't find the correct fonts, i hope it's not problem. You can add names to the "Visible for" part, if you tick off the Visible by name part.
Later I will upload the other pictures...
Balance
It may will have an impact on the "Acces to the internal forums" right...
Abuse prevention
Hmm... Maybe making adult, or illegal content... But it's possible now, too...
Summary
It would decrease the danger of the spies, the hidden, Council forum will not be visible if we want to make a forum tab because of an action, just for a few members, more little unnecessary forum tabs for the members.
Using it is optional, so it doesn't have disadvantage...
Sorry, my English is not perfect, if you found a mistake in this post, please, feel free to tell me
Thanks in advance.
