My Mood: | Rules for the "Ask SquareEnix" section.
The FFXIOnline.com Moderation and Administration Team would like to announce changes to the "Ask SquareEnix" section in order to improve visibility and further continue in our efforts to open communications with the SquareEnix FFXI Community Relations Team. These changes include re-implementation of the intentions of the section, in which I am going to emphasize now.
The FFXIOnline.com Moderation and Administration Team will re-compile February's list and will post it in the Site News section once it is available. Please submit your questions here: http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/ask...questions-400/ Thank you, AKosygin FFXIOnline.com Moderation and Administration Team

| Re: Changes to the "Ask SquareEnix" section.
Are the posts already made safe from this new rule, or should we delete them and start over? There are several posts that have been made prior to this announcment, my own among them, where the topic header is NOT phrased as a question; as 'normal' users, we can't edit the headers once posted, so should we simply delete them and start over? Also, we no longer have the ability to search previous questions that may have already been answered - how about creating an viewable archive of these instead of just deleting them and saving a lot of duplication of questions?? If a question is not submitted to SE, can it be re-entered for reconsideration? It strikes me that 9 is a pretty restrictive number - today is only the 6th of the month and there are already 6 posts in there! At that rate, we may be looking at a question per day - what are the criteria that the review committee will be looking for to decide if a question should go forward or not? Number of replies? Or simply based on the gut feeling of the reviewers at the time? Quote:

Presuming that the question meets the syntax and rules specified previously and is a pretty good question in general....
The second one might cover questions like: "What are you doing about RMT?" The third one might cover questions like: "Who is [GM]Dave?" or "What does the Dev Team have in mind for the near future?" The last one is generally a popularity contest, based upon the "ratings" people give to the thread, and the activity of the thread in views and replies. We actually plan to submit 10 questions, the last question being reserved for use by the Mod/Admin team to put in a question that may be missed, off the wall, rephrased, or one deserving to be asked that did not fall within the normal guidelines. Most questions should not be repetitively asked of SE, and should be current. No point in asking about last year's update this year. I hope that answered most of your questions.

Isn't it about time to close off the "Ask SquareEnix Questions" sub-forum? The questions aren't being sent to S-E, and the company isn't interested in answering. Having this sub-forum is misleading. Lock it and bury it somewhere, please.

With the impending release of Wings of the Goddess, I foresee a lot of questions popping up; as such, I think it's a good idea to leave this section open to give people somewhere to vent about how stupid Dancer is. ;) Icemage | |

Just because SE doesn't answer these questions directly or right away does not mean these questions aren't looked at or considered. As such, I think this forum is worth keeping around.

| Re: Rules for the "Ask SquareEnix" section.
Lack of feedback from SE would seem to infer lack of interest on their part. Perhaps if they were to take a more active part, it might lend a bit more credibility to the forum, but there again they don't even respond to questions or requests on the POL site, so perhaps that's a bit much to ask?

Square-Enix doesn't monitor this forum; we do. The intent is that we distill the best questions and forward them on, but many questions have already been answered, and there aren't (quite) enough good questions to send another request to them as yet. Bear in mind that they're doing us a favor by answering any questions, so we can't just rapid-fire bombard them with just any question every few weeks. That's why the rules in this subforum are set the way they are - they're designed to filter out needless questions where the answers are either already known or are moot. Icemage | |

No one is being hurt by this sub-forum, the mods and admins do not need to prove anything and SE *is* listening to the fan base on many many things and the proof can be seen in game. I see no reason to "Lock it and bury it" at all. All that's needed are questions that can't be answered by other players or simply waiting a week or two to find out in game.
