Thread: suggestion : Private BH Forum
Message Edited by AltharXXX on 07-13-2005 04:32 PM
I disagree with this proposal. We are all playing Star Wars: Galaxies. All professions should be allowed to post in any forum. It's the only way to get constructive posts from both points of view.
The best thing you can do on these boards is be mature. Don't flame. Don't troll. Don't respond to flames and trolls. If you see something that makes you mad, take 15 seconds to take a deep breath. When you post a reply, make it constructive.

read my suggestion carefully - it is so that the bounty hunter players can communicate with thecorrestpondant - not for the correspondant to have a private channel to the players.
Honestly if you aren't a BH and you are posting yourfeedback on something you have never experienced - isn't it off topic? Feedback on an issue requires direct first hand experience. I enjoy reading what my fellow bounty hunters have to say. If I wanted to read jedi troll posts I'd go to the jedi forum.
Yes, I haveheard about a private jedi forum. This was about when 9.0 was in beta.

First, I'm sick of reading posts from players who clearly have never played a bounty hunter expressing their thoughts on how the bounty hunter profession should or shouldn't work.
Second, there is clearly a great deal of hostility between Jedi (and Bounty Hunters.)
Therefore, I would like to suggest that the Bounty Hunters have a "private"forum (or publically readable) to communicate with their correspondant. This forum would need to have a screening process to assure that all posters in this forum are actually Bounty Hunters vs Jedi w/BH alts.
Potential Screening Methods :
Compile statistics on BH missions. Link BH names to forum names and rank based on missions completed (failed or not) and how active the user is within the forums. Figure some percentile so the group isn't unmanagable, and flag all the forum users who match this critera with a bit so they can access the 'private' BH forum.
Assign a group of bounty hunters moderator status and these bounty hunters would be responsible to screen potential applicants. (This would be a super fun thing if the BH Moderators could take a mission in game to stalk other BH and confirm that they are doing their job.. hehe)
there was a great "private" forum, meaning privatly owned. swgbounties, it didn't take great measure to keep it BH only but generaly if was a great place for BHs, it died, nothing has been able to match it since.
and just becuase they aren't BHs, never been, and never will be doesn't mean they can't have valuble input, there are some great jedi that post here. after awhile you get to watch for certain names and blow by others, selective vision perhaps.
No a BH alt who hunts and kills may very well take part in the dialog. It's the BH alts who don't really do anything except check the terms for their pals who need to hold their tongues when posting their divine insite to the BH profession.
Thank you for asking for this clairfication.

Unfortunately your whole premise is flawed. The boards here are for interaction. And by artificially limiting the interaction you are going to lose a lot of potential insight and feedback. I had a bit of a run in with a member of the BH community here that feels pretty much the same as you do... The sad part was as Jedi and MBH I knew more about both professions and had a better post cu record than he did.
These boards are indeed open to ALL professions and all paying players. Restricting them would take away the input of other professions not just Jedi, and believe it or not the MBH profession has a profound effect on may other aspects of the game other than the bounty system. Take a look around and see how many MBH you see that don't hunt Jedi, but use the advantages of the profession for bettering their templates.
The comment about divine insights is pretty silly if you look at the board and read some of the ideas and thoughts posted by some of the "pure" BH. Sure there is a lot of trolling but guess what? You will also learn about the abilities of your profession and the abilities of the enemy. Many BH here have no clue what the strengths and weaknesses of Jedi are. They just assume that every Jedi has every skill, and they don't. They also think that certain templates are unbeatable, but they aren't. Jedi are tough but not invincable.

Thank you Hnglka - you failed to read my statements - as I would expect from a jedi.
So I'll state it again. I said a private (publically readable)forum for PLAYER BOUNTY HUNTERS to communicate to Tanks. It would be in addition to the current BH-JEDI forum. (I've edited the top post to reflect this.)

Hnglka your points are all valid but are really non-sense as you aren't posting to my thesis statement.
no. you dont get it. private is wrong. period.
get your private forum by paying for it. Tanks posts in the Jedi forum and reads it too. You are just not catching the point that everyone has the right to post.
actually no one has the right to post. it is a privallage which can be revoked.
