WOF Private Team Forums

[711]

EntropiaForum is happy to offer private forums for the WOF Teams, to facilitate team organization and discussion.

These private forums will only be accessible to official members of the WOF teams and EF admins (myself and Mindbuster); regular forum members will not have access, which allows for a private and secure place to discuss WOF strategy, scheduling, etc. Each WOF Team captain will be the group leader (to approve team member access to the private forum) and forum moderator.

Also, the EF rule concerning English only is not applicable to these private forums, so teams are free to hold discussions in their preferred language.

Any teams interested in this offer should have the team captain contact me via PM.

Once the private forum is created, the team captain should instruct team members to apply for access to the private forum via the Group Memberships link in the UserCP. The team captain will then need to approve those applications before team members will have access to the private forum.

Best of luck to all the teams competing in the 2008 WOF, which promises to be even more exciting and enjoyable than last year!

Thank you 711.

But I need to ask, is either you or Mindbuster or your alter-egos or real life partners etc. taking part in the WoF?

If you (the Teams) trust ME, with vested interests in both England and Eudorian teams, to handle all your pm's and enquiries on tactics with discretion, then you HAVE to trust 711 and MindBuster the same... the WoF would not be happening at all without the Forum they both built...

I would rather 711 answer my question thanks Hurrikane.

Also I don't HAVE to trust anyone.

But I do of course recognise and appreciate the essential role of this forum and its owner and will always give you the highest praise for your work on the WoF Hurrikane.

This was addressed in the original thread requesting these private subforums (relevant part bolded):

I can set up the WoF team forums just like the private society forums, and have the WoF team captain be the usergroup leader (manage group invites) as well as the team forum moderator.

Note that these forums will not be visible to EF Moderators, but will be visible to admins (me and MindBuster). Normally we do not read those forums unless a member or group leader contacts us with an issue. Note also that I will be participating in WoF for team USA; I have no intention of reading any info posted in these private sections, but paranoia is a powerful thing. Thus, if you do not trust that I will refrain from reading the private WoF forums, your team should seek another alternative.

The best way to handle this is to have the team captain for any team interested in a private forum section contact me via PM.

OK thanks for clearing this up 711.

For personal reasons, not related to your integrity nor any paranoia on my part, I do not wish to take advantage of your generous offer of a private forum.

Shall I then disregard the PM you sent a few minutes ago requesting a private team forum?

Yes please.

Nice move 711.

Even if some teams decide not to use them for discussion of their secret tactics, I think they're still potentially useful as an alternative place to post the banter (rather than the rather long team threads in the WoF forum).

Also, as presumably each private forum will have its own mod, will teams be able to write in their respective languages in the private forums or is it still English only?
