It's true that you can't search within a group page directly to find various things in their forums or comments. However, if you're in a group's discussion forum, you can run searches within that specific forum just like you can in any other specific forum. You can also do an "Everywhere" search for what you're looking for from anywhere and the results will include stuff within Group discussion forums.

I tried that out, and 'Everywhere' just shows threads outside groups with just one result being the group itself and not the discussions within the groups.

I appreciate the use of groups, however there's no group search function; you're able to search 'groups' using the regular searching method, but that only searches group titles rather than content within the groups you're currently in (I might be blind though).

I don't know if this is a planned feature for groups where you're able to search within groups as some groups have loads of threads (such as the BEAST group with over 200 threads) which makes looking at historical match data or comments in general within groups quite tedious.

Most Blunted, was exactly like what was in his name, blunt and actively breaking forum rules.

Mostblunted helped keep the forum alive, if he's really banned then it should be lifted ASAP

If keeping the forum alive meant to consistently troll and flame, then I'd rather have a dead forum. Pretty sure I warned him a few times back when I was mod

You and about 10 other people made a combined total of over 20 posts the group admins decided were off-topic. Just because your post isn't against the rules doesn't mean it's appropriate for the thread, and how strictly the group decides to enforce that is left to them. Again, staff policy is to monitor for targeted abuse through the mechanisms of group moderation, but to otherwise be hands-off.

Hardly off-topic, he was worried about being able to play the NW tournament alongside the Native tournament, but I explained that the NW tournament matches can be scheduled anytime in the week and not the weekend so there shouldn't be an issue and he wouldn't have to dropout (roster change). If we're being pedantic, the posts we're making now are far more off-topic and they're still here...

Again, self moderating groups is a poor idea as it can cause bias to posts, not that my post particularly matters, but having 'forum rules' should be universal and up to moderators to decide what's on or off-topic. Where else should I have posted my comment? Quoted him and put it in the tournament suggestions/discussion board? That would make it even more off-topic to the original thread.

If my post is on-topic and relevant to the thread OP, at what stage are group moderators allowed to determine what should or shouldn't be on the thread? Potentially if it was someone else who posted it, hypothetically they could approve it on an individual basis, just screams bias.

Groups are there instead of boards, and yet boards were moderated the same way as the rest of the forums and groups now aren't? Groups aren't instagram, they're still relevant to the rest of the forums.

Orion said:

Except they can't. We did end up implementing a two-step process for it as a result of your discussion, and anything which is marked unapproved is sent into a notification-enabled queue for global moderators to review. This is done specifically so we can catch the behavior you describe. Our policy is to simply delete all unapproved posts which don't fit a pattern of abuse after checking them for content which breaks the forum-wide rules, as we still maintain that it isn't our place to tell group administrators how to run their groups so long as they abide by the few zero-tolerance restrictions the forum has as a whole.

I made a normal reply to a thread in a group, was never approved and ultimately deleted; was this a you thing or a they thing?

The end of support of SMF was the biggest reason for the switch to XenForo.

Honestly, XenForo is simpler at its most basic level of user interaction, with the reply box at the bottom of every thread and the ability to highlight text in someone's post then click once to automatically quote it in your reply. It also caches reply box contents so you can freely navigate a thread while writing a reply to it. Our SMF forum had a separate page for writing replies, with a differently-formatted preview of a limited number of previous posts on it. Quoting anything gave you the entire contents of the quoted post which you often had to pare down to what you wanted, and quoting less recent posts necessitated the use of a second browser tab.

XenForo is honestly better for the average user, at least those without nostalgia.

Click to expand...

I agree that XenForo is better in terms of features, but depends on what you're after - SMF is usually used for smaller more close-knit communities as there's more charm in profile customisation and the lack of features meant that everyone was in the same place.

One of the biggest reasons for the decline in forum activity was A. Bannerlord being a terrible game and B. The inclusion of additional community features such as groups which spread out the already small Warband community.

I know first-hand that some of these features weren't wanted by the moderation team, but had no choice due to management wanting them, and still wouldn't change; self-moderating groups is ultimately silly as they can force post approval, which essentially means you can shut down any argument or not allow someone you dislike to post, which back in SMF, deleting posts in your own thread was warnable if no valid reason?

Lastly the forum colour scheme/layout is abominable, there's no real contrast of colours, everything is the same blue/grey as if I'm back playing Battlefield 3, there's numerous users from other forums such as FSE that have no idea what they're looking at and how to navigate, it's a mess. On top of that, there's loads of 'shortcut boards' scattered through the forums to redirect you to an area outside of your game? I expect to go into the Warband Multiplayer board and find tournaments, instead I'm greeted to a shortcut to a whole different board littered with tournaments from other modules too.

This isn't a dig at the moderation team, as I know for a fact a lot of the forum would change if they had the power to change it, but instead have to try to use loopholes to get around some piss-poor features added in by management.

Calm brother

I forgot people are more sensitive on this forum

FL was anything but fun, we had no players show up so we were forced to play with 7 of which 2 were NW players who never touched native.

Click to expand...

Yeah, was so glad when we were knocked out, was a blessing

never seen fantasy league and fun in one sentence

u can tell the community is now filled with mercs players when u see FL having the most votes; it's a tried and tested format in Native for years and it's **** pretty much every time it's happened

stop being eggs and just vote 8v8/6v6

Zahu said:

well, then its more of an organization problem rather than the quality of tourney format problem

Click to expand...

No, the format is an issue, because as soon as their FL team starts losing, they have no reason to be there as they probably dont care about the people they're playing with and it simply isnt their actual tournament team. people only sign up 2 see how much they'd go for or where they're placed, the only fun part of a FL is the picking stream and the complaints after people were bought for less than they were hoping

People still voting FL lol

Exciting news! Really looking forward to private hosted servers. The 16th community would be more than happy to help if needed!

The moment the community gets their hands to the private servers i think the multiplayer aspect of Bannerlord will skyrocket.

Click to expand...

Not entirely, if there's no custom maps and no modded servers, why on earth would I play on someone else's server when standard TW servers provide the same? We'd just end up with more servers with no players, something that's been evident for the past two years. Step forward for sure, but let's not start making bold headlines assuming that it'll skyrocket.

Maybe I'm out the loop, but isn't Skirmish locked to MM? Or can private servers host Skirmish themselves?

preferred when his dad played

fantasy league

Click to expand...

Had this discussion numerous times; fantasy leagues are tried and tested and have countlessly failed even with a much larger player base, I doubt it would even finish this time around. If you're wanting a tournament which just sticks players in teams, then for sure scramble is the better choice because people will just play rather than sign up to see how much their ego gets boosted or slapped.
