So should probably preference this with a date it being 12/21/16, (have no idea if this post should be with the OOC account but I figure there shouldn't be too much fuss over that) Anyhow just gonna leave some ideas for the site here, hope they're seen as useful.
1) A better drop down menu on the main banner:
So the main banner currently has all these little icons on it that lead to important sections of the site, and that is lovely and overall is quite helpful but I would suggest cleaning up their function slightly and perhaps add one for any of the sections that have important info like the Spellbook Creation section and Character directory. I don't know, I like the quick link system but right now it feels like its incomplete or at the least could be improved upon.
2) There is currently no direct link for the magic of an individual:
I think right now this might be one of the two largest issues on the site. So as a FT RP AU (thank god for acronyms am i right?) magic plays a decent chunk of importance but as of right now from the inside of any individual post there is no way to directly access the magic of the poster and while we are small right now and there aren't that many magics being tossed around yet, this could become a big issue down the line as being able to read the description and application of the magic of someone who you are Rp'ing with is rather important. A solution may be just tagging it on the end of the character app, or perhaps adding a hyper link on the section above the character photo (like where the ones to the plotter, tracker and character app are atm)
3) Magic System:
This being arguable my opinion of the other of the largest issues. A lot of the issue with this has already been fixed as originally there was going to be a mana system but it was removed and what not. However the system post (especially later on) still has a lot of the meat left over from that frame work which has been discarded. By this I mean the graph section, I'm no expert by any means but the sheer number of graphs and the depth to which they go are well... excessive. Their point is to show how spells should be balanced and how the power balancing plays a role in determining how the spell will function when used in the RP, however I do think that this section could be gone over once more and cleaned up to be a bit more streamlined.
4) A general Q and A post. There are a lot of commonly asked questions on the discord about how the accounts are meant to work an which account should be used to post what. I think the addition of the FAQ section under the guidelines might assist in helping new members get set up faster and help the site grow at a more rapid pace
Well thats really all I have atm. Overall the site is really quite well put together, I just thought it could be made to be a bit more accessible and streamlined with these suggestions and help make it seem much more welcoming. Anyhow hope this at the least opens up some discussion for these suggestions and maybe more.
