Email & Regional Suggestions

Postby Constantinoplea » Wed Oct 14, 2020 7:38 pm

I have two suggestions for NationStates.
1) Email registration to a nation is not as secure as it could be. To change a nation's email, you should be required to send an email to the email currently registered to the account and then you should have to log onto that email and verify the email change. This is more secure and I suggest implementing this.
2) There should be an option to disable the influence cost when editing settings in a region. As it is now the regional officers are extremely limited in what they can do. The founder is the only one who can change the settings on a day-to-day basis and that's extremely inconvenient. If the founder had the option to disable the influence cost that would be very helpful.

Why are regional settings being changed on a day-to-day basis?

That's not what those are for.

What I mean is it's useful to have the ability to change the regional settings any day you want, which only the founder is able to do. This is pretty inconvenient. That's why I think it would be nice if the founder had an option to disable the influence cost for regional officers. To be clear, only the founder would be able to enable or disable this setting (and I suppose WA Delegates if they have Executive authority).

Allowing executive WAs to disable this would basically negate the entire purpose of influence costs -- which is to prevent raiders from just jumping into a region and straightaway ejecting everyone.

That's a good point. Only founders could have the ability, then. Hmm though, I wonder if there's something else that could be done to prevent that.
