Official Suggestions Thread!

1. I would like to see the reintroduction of Community Leaders (CL_'s) into the game. Obviously you can just hire staff here, there and everywhere as you wouldn't be able to get to know them all well enough and trust them enough. CL_'s were a lesser role, people who were seen to uphold rules, be helpful to other players and generally pleasant people who helped around the kingdom and also sometimes with staff in events. I think it would be useful to have people around the kingdom that newer players would be able to ask questions to who would be able to respond as they know the game and it's partly their job to help out.
If not CL_'s, then more staff around the kingdom who would do a lot of the same. Either way I thought it was nice to have people in the community who would usually always help out.
2. I'd also like a limit on clones. It's one thing to have an account to store items/ create rooms etc and its another to have increased daily credits from NPC's/ minigames and an unfair advantage in HOST events/ other events where you have to queue to get in rooms and people could stack the queue with their clones. Not sure how it would be done but I don't think it's really in the spirit of the game to get unfair advantages over others so if there is anyway to limit or stop this then great.
3. No staff favouritism. I get that staff get to know people and are meant to be friendly but they can have second, non staff accounts to make friends on here. It should be their duty to do what they are meant to do and not have friends/ favourites on their staff accounts. I think it would be a shame for people to get to either help out staff or get unreleased items or whatever else just because they are friends with staff. It's one thing for staff to be nice, friendly and get to know people, it's another to give people advantages over other payers for such reasons. Staff should be there to protect and keep the game in order.
4. 2, maybe 3 filters on the game. The dictionary is a key part in games like this. Many people who played the game before are now older, however there are still players, new and old, who are in a younger crowd. I think it would be effective and well supported to have 2 or 3 filters. I think one maybe should be as strict as VMK's, another should still have a blacklist but be given a lot more freedom (which should be used wisely). Obviously this wouldn't mean cussing people out would be tolerated, or even being inappropriate or vulgar as such behaviour would still be banable. Instead it would allow players young to be kept safe, but still allow older players to talk more openly but still with restrictions. I don't know how possible such an update would be on this game but I think it would be the right thing to do. I wouldn't enjoy going back to the old VMK days of dictionary dancing every other word because it wasn't approved but would still like a blacklist of terms and words so people wouldn't be able to easy abuse the system.
For now that's it I guess. Going over a few points other have posted and I support and maybe adding a few of my own suggestions into the mix. I'm just glad the game I love will be coming back.

In response to Foamy's suggestions: This is a nice start to things. I believe social media is going to play a big part of things, it enables a broad community. VMK was 5 years ago, so all the 12-19 year olds are about 17-24+ - I enjoy the more open filter on things, with exception of bad words/profanity/suggestive/sexual themes. But since we are all of a more mature age, I believe that social media will fall into our graces and benefits. Also, we should be able to discuss topics we deem whatever, whether it be silly things like food (chick-fil-a/etc like freedom filter instead of the ### for every wrong word spelt) or other little tidbits on the news. Yes, there is a possibility that 10-15 year olds will be playing, but with a more flexible filter and the use of social media is what will help MMK flourish. The staff of course needs to be of a mature age, possibly 20-30s depending on such elements; community leaders and hosts should be allowed to be of "the age" (17-24) because as peers it allows people to further communicate and express their ideas in such a way. [Psychology is getting to my headnowadays, ha ha ha] but of course, a lot of change for the better is good. I agree with foamy that there should be separate staff aside to run the Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr accounts as the third party website who settles disputes and rumors. A little bit of arguement among users is healthy and lets people rant/express their ideas and such, but the actually moderators must act on a non-biased and clarified response/mature manner.
Long live Vmk! I agree with the social media though, it's a good idea. And less strict filters. Thanks for reading everyone!
sorry if anything i've said has already been posted, i didn't read anyone else's suggestions yet.
i think we should have cl's who are just people who seem to have mature qualities (i mean, we're probably all mature at this point but still...)
i think that the "hosts" should be people who are admins on here
i think we should have an official tumblr and a staff for the tumblr page who can post game updates and answer any ask box questions
i also think that each ip should be set to having one account unless specifically stated that there is more than one person in the household playing the game.

lright, so I want to put my opinion out there, but I don't want anyone to think I am trying to backseat mod. This is just a suggestion that I want everyone's opinion on. Nick has spent two years of his life working to get VMK back for us and, as far as I know, he made bad choices for staff that led him down the wrong path. He got to see his dream for about two weeks and then he lost it. I don't think it is fair to leave him in the dust. He did help make a lot of this game. I want to ask if he can have some position as staff. I don't think it was him that wanted Amy gone, but he was outnumbered in a group decision. Unless I have my facts wrong, I think it is unfair to let NIck's hard work go to waste. What do you guys think? I'm not saying even if we all agree it has to be done, but I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. Please no arguments!
I would personally like the option to be able to give one other person the ability to move furniture in a room. Say if two are hosting an event for people and one disconnects or has to go afk, the other should be able to keep things going.
I would also like to see a room spot reserved for the owner so if they dc as mentioned above, a guest doesn't have to leave in order for the owner to be let back in.
Just my two cents~
