Ajhkhum

So, considering Discord is the widely used communications program throughout our community here, thought it would be a good idea to rally up some support to get a feature request to go through that every group here could benefit from. There are several threads on the Discord site for this so I listed below the best ones to vote for. (imo)
 
SHARE PLEASE - Just copy the link below and share it across any other discord servers you are apart of. 
 
EDIT (Use this one) - https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/13510158-add-ability-to-shout-talk-to-all-channels-for-larg
 
Channel Commander - https://feedback.discordapp.com/forums/326712-discord-dream-land/suggestions/10590876-chan-commander-to-speak-to-another-commander-on
 
Note: There are some other threads made for this request, but this one is what we found to be matching what we think best suits our and DUs needs.
 
 
 
Granted, there are already several VCs that do have this feature, the point is to keep everything within one app versus spreading everyone across multiple communication apps. While we don't know specifics for DU in how communication will work, we do know that Discord isn't exactly friendly when it comes to large crowds in Voice Chat channels. 
 
If you can take the time to upvote that feature, we can bump it up on the priority list for the developers to get it going. It doesn't take any effort but signing in to your Discord account and clicking that upvote icon. 
 
Thanks,

Hi everyone!
 
The following organizations will be removed very soon:
 
1) Internet Banking Federation (IBF): https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/intergalactic-banking-federation-ibf
Reasons:
- Real life people represented
- Real life company names involved
- Imaginary people from popular IP represented
 
2) United Gérard Depardieu: https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/united-gerard-depardieu
Reason:
- Real life people represented
 
3) What is an Alt: https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/what-is-an-alt
Reason:
- Fake accounts spam
 
About the preventive measures we have in mind (we would like to have your feedback on this):
Giving the right to join an organization only if the user is a backer is a bit over the top in our opinion. 
However, we are considering to give the right of creating organizations only to backers. This should limit abuses on this topic.
 
@Warden:
This is not explicitely forbidden at the moment as the Forum chart doesn't cover some cases that could occur on the Community Portal.
However we should update this soon. 
 
All in all, it's also a matter of common sense:
As long as an action can have a negative impact on the Community Portal (flooding with fake organizations, fake accounts, and inappropriate content), damaging the visibility of legit organizations and/or members, yes, some action will be taken from Novaquark side (and later, with the help of the Community Portal team).
 
Regarding this phenomenon, while it won't impact directly the game development, it will impact it indirectly. 
Here is how it works:
 
- As the community is growing, relying that mods will handle always this kind of things manually eternally wouldn't be very smart.
 
- The most logical way of handling such situation, would be to update the portal in a way to dissuade such behavior.
 
- Until now, the Community Portal has been developed internally, by developers who are also developing the game. At the moment, updating the portal means we take dev time that would be used on the game itself otherwise. That's an issue, we are aware of that, and that's why we are currently looking for recruiting a Web developper, that will be dedicated to the task, in order to have everyone focusing on their own specialities and to prevent any disruption in the workflow of the developers who are supposed to work on the game itself.
 
- Handling such abuses on the Community Portal is also time taken away from Community Managers to work on more constructive things. True, this is part of our job, but while we are handling this kind of situation, we aren't doing something else (regular reports to the dev team, new wave for the Alpha team, internal tasks related to the Alpha phase preparation, internal tasks related to the Community Portal, Moderators selection, helping the Customer Support, writing Kickstarter Updates and Newsletters... and that's far from being the whole list).
 
Best regards,

Yeah, been getting applications from some of these guys that say, "Hi!".  Or "Can I join?'  And that's it.  I simply reply and tell them to tell me why they want to join us; what do they think we have in common, what can they bring to the group, etc.  Wait a week or so and no reply will get a decline.  It's pretty easy to weed them out.

Just a PSA to everyone, seems like the nefarious culprit behind all of these alts (Obviously me, but oh well) is applying to several orgs. So before you click accept on any of those apps, just check their profile real quick.

NQ will very likely intervene. They do have ways of finding fake accounts, and they do not like the idea of fake accounts either. Fake accounts are also against their guidelines. This brings up the question, why haven't the intervened yet? The answer is that it is the weekend, so most of NQ is probably at home. The second reason is that they don't track these sorts of things till they become a problem. I reported the IBM and the around 80 fake accounts and 13 fake organizations ascossciated with it yesterday, so they will probably see that tomorrow and take action. In the meantime, it's probably best not to start a Lynch mob.
 
Why did the person or persons do this? Most likely, they just joined the community and decided that the best way to get attention would be to appear to be a much bigger group. Having just joined, they wouldn't have known that there are only 10-20 people who join the community per day, so growing at such a rate is extremely suspicious. They also wouldn't have known there are people (like us ) who track this sort of thing, and would instantly notice.

As some of you already pointed out, the "Intergalactic Banking Federation" (IBF) had an extremly high growth in the last days. Founded on the 1st of march, they already have 65 members. Nearly all those accounts were created in the last 5 days. There were 26 new members in one day. That's more than 1317 orgs got in their whole time of existance. I'd like to ask NQ to either delete this whole organization or the fake members. This is a problem that many online games have but we should start fighting against it as soon as possible.

Well Ajhkhum, you did threaten me. I don't like being threatened. Now you pay the price for your arrogant ways.

Hey, kid! I'm sure you can hear me somehow if you can send that shit. You better be really, REALLY convincing WHEN I find you. Because I will.

By the way, WHEN I kill the kid, I expect you guys to stand outside of it, we want to keep the victims as low as possible, right?

There was a freaking HOT SPRING IN E1?! Damn it, so that awkward night was not needed? I would have been soooo nice to know that.
