Opting out of WA Compliance telegrams

Postby Storalia » Tue Jul 06, 2021 11:20 pm

Hiya, sorry if another person has already asked this,

...but is there a way to opt-out of these annoying messages from the World Assembly Compliance Commission, and only those annoying messages? They clog my inbox, and I check the WA enough to know what has passed and what hasn't.

Another way would be to set up some kind of auto-delete, but I'm unsure if that's even possible also.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Storalia

Maybe blocking WA recruitment or external might help? When you join the WA you are supposed to comply with all their resolutions so maybe they send out telegrams to make sure you know what new rule you are supposed to follow.

Considering that the WA is pretty much roleplay only with little real power, not sure what complying with the resolutions does. Gameplay and region-wise, you're nudged to join the WA in order to help keep your region safe, though.

You cant get commended if you don't comply with any WA resolutions.

It's been asked for many times. I personally think it should be put into the notices system, and have an option there that you can stop them entirely - mostly because TGs take up inbox space, which is limited for accounts that don't have PMG.

As someone who left the World Assembly mostly because of those telegrams (and also because I no longer was into gameplay, so the drawbacks vastly outweighed any positives of WA membership), I can tell you that your suggestion does not help at all, given that the mechanisms through which they are sent seems to be connected to the "Voice of Mod" telegrams in the sense that you cannot block them or opt out of either of those.

Given the Notices tab now exists, I'd argue that it would be a good idea to inform people of whether or not a resolution passed using the Notices tool, and end the practice of sending WA Compliance Commission telegrams. Like, I'm sure those telegrams were a good idea in its infancy when we did not even have the 1 or 2 indicators on the World Assembly tab, let alone notices, but now that we have these technologies, I think the compliance telegrams seem to have overstayed their welcome.

I put the request in to Violet a couple of months ago, before Development Managers became a thing. It was put on hold though, as the replacement forum (which is a big, and urgent project) is likely to require a revamp of the Notices system, and she didn't want to make changes to Notices (which is what removing the Compliance TGs would require - replacing them with Notices) prior to working on that bigger revamp, which might then mean changing the whole thing again.

This is absolute nonsense.

I agree with Flan, should be moved from telegrams to notices.

You can be commended or condemned for anything the author chooses.

Ah, I see! Glad to hear that's coming up in the pipeline then.

Hopefully, when the revamp comes out, with the new notification system, that'll be included.

Out of curiosity, what will happen to these forums when the new ones come out? Will everything just be deleted?

But what does that mean for posts made prior to the replacement? Do they just vanish?

Considering my choice of emoticons, it should be clear that I didn't even know there were plans to replace the forum in the first place - so clearly I'm the wrong person to ask.

It's been 13 years since we left Jolt. That's a long time in software upgrade history.

The plan is to migrate them to the new forums. I can't promise that it will be 100% successful (or even possible), but that's the hope at this point.
