This is a repost of my old suggestion here: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/community-talks-some-improvements.277398/ This is to be in line with the new suggestions system.
Once every while, CubeCraft hosts Community Talks. They’re great ways to have contact with the community and talk about what the community wants to happen. However, as all things, they can be improved.
Improvement 1: More Publicity On Different Platforms
At the moment, community talks are announced in a thread on the forums, and in a channel called community events on the discord. For the rest, a channel is also created on the discord dedicated to the community talk. This is something, but not enough. The community talk isn’t mentioned at all in the game itself. If you’re a player that doesn’t look on the discord/the forums a lot, but you do play a lot and know how things work, you won’t know about the talk, even though you could be a good addition to the talk. So, making announcements in game is a first step. Secondly, even on the discord, the publicity is not enough. Whenever there is a community talk you’ll always have people asking what’s happening. There are 2 possible solutions for this: Delete the community events channel and put the announcements for the talks in the announcements channel from now on; more people look in there. Or use the community events channel but with an @ everyone or @here tag. (Or combine those, so in announcements channel and a tag)
Improvement 2: On the Forums
On the forums, as mentioned before, a thread is created about the community talk. This should also be improved. The community talk threads don’t have a place where they all go. Some go in the “the lobby” subforum, some go in feedback & suggestions, some go in events & competitions and some go in the subforum of the game they’re about. That makes absolutely no sense. I’d suggest to make a subforum in the Events & Competitions part called “Community Talks”, and move every previously hosted community talk to there, and put any future ones in there as well or put them in the News subforum.
I think those suggestions would greatly improve the publicity of the community talks, more people would come, more opinions would be given and that would give a better view on what the community wants. And that’s what the community talks are all about :)
