Moderators for EPBS

Technical Information

The guild tab name is "EPBS". Both the EPBS and planned Bazaar Mics are controlled by the same guild. The mics are located in RP near CS at (x, x)

  • To pickup the boards, click on each microphone and select "Display the Call Board". It will tell you the current mod using the board and ask if you want to take over. Choose yes.
  • If you are standing near the mics, they immediately pickup anything said in main chat, Egypt Today or Bazaar chat. So it's important to move away from the mics before talking in any of these channels.
  • Posts made to Egypt Today or Bazaar will show up on the control boards. The "S" button puts the post on hold. The "P" button posts the message. The "x" button deletes the message. The boards can only hold 21 messages before they become full. Posts made to a full board are lost and never show up on the control board.
  • The control boards can be hidden via Self->Options->Interface Options. Scroll down to the "Other" section and click "Hide Microphone Callboards when empty" if you want to remove the boards from the screen.
  • Don't use macro to automatically post msg, read them before posting.

Basic Use

  • To pickup the boards, click on each microphone and select "Display the Call Board". It will tell you the current mod using the board and ask if you want to take over. Choose yes.
  • If there are very old posts on the PBS board, announce the age of the messages before you post them by saying "posts made up to 2 hours ago". This step is not necessary on the Bazaar board as trades often linger for hours and days before they they are completed.
  • If you need to go afk for 15 minutes or less, it's ok. You don't need to announce the afk on Egypt Voice unless the board is very active and in the middle of some discussion. Ask in EPBS if someone is nearby to take over if necessary.
  • If you are logging out or need an extended afk, please ask for a replacement mod on EPBS Mods channel. If no-one steps forward to replace you, post a message on PBS when you logout. The message should be something like "boards going down until a new mod comes along". You do NOT need to post this same message on Bazaar. It is a slower moving board and delays in messages are ok there.


Posting Guildlines

  • EPBS "Egypt Today" and planned Bazaar channel are owned by the same elders but have very different posting guildlines for each channel.
  • EPBS "Egypt Today" is meant for general chat. Sometimes the board scrolls very quickly.
    • Posts that are direct attacks of other players, or which use lot of cursing or insults will be deleted. But please try to chat the poster before you delete the post. Ask them if they can rephrase the post. Most will comply. Ask to move conversation to private chat if it became to heated.
      • Explicit Sexual, violent or slanderous comments will be censored.
    • Posts that are blank or contain gibberish characters (often made by children or pets hitting the keyboard or macros gone wrong) can be deleted.
    • Duplicate posts from the same poster, sometimes made in an attempt to spam the board, will be deleted.
    • If EPBS "Egypt Today" gets out of control with posting so fast that you can't even read them, then slow down the posts. Letting each post stay on the board for longer and longer can calm some arguments. Posting delays of several minutes will often take the steam out of some arguments.
    • If posts are too long to read content ask for rephrase. We don't want to create spam scrolling all other messages.
  • Bazaar is mainly meant for trades but can also be used for any other events that serve community interests -- such as notices of events and Egypt wide research status updates. We keep many posts off of Bazaar to prevent the board from scrolling quickly. This allows players to check Bazaar in-game and see all the trades and events from the last few hours.
    • WTS and WTB posts are ok but don't post the jokes (WTB good moderator, etc)
    • Replies or clarifications about WTB or WTS should NOT be posted. You can, however, open up a chat with the person asking the questions and suggest they use Egypt Today or chat the original trader.
    • Casual talk should not go on Bazaar and should be deleted.
    • Notices of new mods and board shutdowns don't need to go on Bazaar. They can go on Egypt Today instead.
