As the newly formed Council of Planetary Management was announced only a few short weeks ago, it makes sense that at some point soon, if not now, the player-base have a formal platform to voice complaints, concerns, and criticisms so that the CPM has a central location on these forums to read, address and refer to.
This subforum should, in essence, reflect the "Jita Park" & "Assembly Hall" subforums located on the EVE Online forums, as the CPM is clearly modeled after the Council of Stellar Management.
Additionally this would also clear out the utterly ridiculous and pointless threads that overshadow issues that the CPM may actually need to pay attention to and would also consolidate issues for the CPM's awareness into one location because reading 10 pages of threads in the "General Discussion" and "War Room" subforums is not the most ideal use of time.
For those of you who are ignorant of what "Jita Park" or "Assembly Hall" are, allow me to educate you.
Assembly Hall -
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=6338&find=unreadHow it works:
In order to raise an issue, simply create a new thread. In the title write a brief description and in the body, give as many details about your idea as possible. Any person replying to the thread can check a box to show support for the issue, which provides at-a-glance on the thread listing how supported an idea is. If a CSM member wants to raise an issue in a meeting, they are only allowed to select issues arising from threads in the Assembly hall, and only threads that are at least a week old.
When a CSM member selects the issue, they must create a page in the EVE wiki, condensing all the forum input into a solid idea that can then be voted upon.
Out of all the issues that pass, the CSM brings them to CCP, who removes all the issues that are moot, and talks with the CSM about the remainder. At this point, a relevant employee in CCP is assigned the issue and asked to do some research on it- is it feasible? is it a good idea? Such answers are found and returned to the CSM during the CSM-CCP meetings online and in Iceland. Issues that pass are added to CCP's "backlog"- that is, their to-do list for implementation in the game.
Jita Park Speakers Cornerl -
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=topics&f=268Less formal than "Assembly Hall", a place where members of the community can debate or discuss any issue regarding the Council of Stellar Management.
Now clearly the DUST community is young both in actuality and in some regards its mentality, however these two subforums would provide the same benefits for the CPM & DUST community those subforums have provided for the CSM & EVE community since their inception and have been tremendously helpful in making not only CCP but the CSM delegates aware of the player feedback on suggested patches, balances and more, which apply heavily to this game.
I believe subforums within the same vein as "Jita Park" & "Assembly Hall" are a great way to begin the CCP/DUST Player interaction under the newly created CPM program.
