Hi,
Thanks for setting up the forumn, it will prove to be most useful. Now, as I mentioned in my introductory post, I am a veteran of Travian, and one thing that went on there in a Massive scale was spying. Alliances would have some of their friends join other alliances, have access to the forums, and constantly feed them information (yep, some people take this waaaay too seriously).
So, I believe that we should be a bit more secure with our info, perhaps lists of planets should be kept by a select group of alliance members. Also, I registered to this forum and immediately was able to post and read messages. I understand stricter security is a low priority at the moment, but in the future maybe forum mods should validate users before they are able to access certain sensitive areas of the forums. Sure, people would need to know the forum address before they could join, but nothing prevents an ex-member from sticking around and/or reregistering.
As I said, these are not immediate considerations, but they will become more and more important as we get more involved in wars and as our prestige keeps growing. In the mean time, congrats and thanks for this new forum.
Regards,
Luis J. Solorzano
