Announcements & Polls

Official announcements

Announcements is the first board at the top of the Forum. Use it for official rules, news, and updates. Only Administrators and Moderators may start threads, reply, or edit their own posts there. Other players can read the board and vote in open polls.

A player who no longer holds a staff role cannot continue posting or editing announcements. The other public boards remain available for ordinary discussion, subject to Forum restrictions.

Voting and results

Open an announcement containing a poll, choose one answer, and select Vote. Each player has one vote per poll, and the choice cannot be changed. Results show vote totals and percentages after you vote, or when voting is closed.

Voting is unavailable while a Forum posting restriction is active. A locked thread also stops voting, and a hidden thread cannot be accessed for voting.

Publishing a poll as staff

• Start a new thread in Announcements and open Add a poll.
• Enter a question of up to 200 characters and 2 to 8 distinct choices, one per line. Each choice may contain up to 100 characters.
• Publish the thread to publish its poll. The poll question and choices stay fixed after publication.
• Use Close Voting to end the poll. Closing is final; there is no reopen control. A poll may remain open until staff closes it, unless its thread is locked or hidden.
