Regional Message Board/Civil Headquarters

Postby A Koala Clan » Sun Dec 05, 2010 7:32 pm

When I hit the "Jump to Board" link after making a post on the RMB, I realized that it linked me to
http://www.nationstates.net/region=the_cuckoos_egg#rmb

Even though everyone still calls the Civil Headquarters the RMB, perhaps the link could be changed to the new name?

What do you mean "new name" ?

The game has called it "Civil Headquarters" and "Regional Message Board" interchangeably for a long, long time.

It does seem like the trend has been going for RMB lately. Not much of Civil Hq. So, I think of all logic to make everything similar, we change it back.
You can call me "Juris" for short. Also, you don't have to type my nation name in all caps either.

I'm not sure if the game has ever called it the Regional Message Board (could be wrong). I think it's a community term. I am tempted to take advantage of the Century theme to replace "Civil Headquarters," since nobody calls it that.

Ah, the FAQ says it a couple times.
How do I use formatting in my telegrams and posts? wrote:You can use some BBCode-style tags to improve the look of your telegrams, Regional Message Board posts, and (if you control a region) your regional World Factbook Entry. These are: ....

The following tags work in Regional World Factbook Entries, but not telegrams or Regional Message Board posts:


Another player posted something offensive! wrote:...For example, if someone spams your regional message board, your region's Founder or WA Delegate can eject them....


But, I would be in favor of switching all the names from Civil Headquarters to Regional Message Board since the former is obsolete and never used. It should definitely be changed in the new Century theme (which I like a lot).

Everyone seems to use RMB. Even if it was never labeled as that before I think it should be changed.

Ballotonia wrote:Please note that the GHR page uses the term "Regional Messageboard", the FAQ uses both "Regional Message Board" (with space added) and "Civil Headquarters message board", the regional administration page speaks of "Regional Message Board", and the news page on May 13 2009 also speaks of "Regional Message Board".

IMHO they've always been used interchangeably.
