I think that we should have billboards to out up things we want known in an area. It'll be an item we have to buy and we place it where ever we want like a regular turf but it comes out square. No building range is added to it and ppl can't tax it nor will it give you income. It's just something used to get a msg out faster rather than coping pasting onto everyones wall in the area you just post one of these with a 100,000 character limit in the area and when someone presses on it it'll say the owners name and subject and then the press the arrow it'll show the msg. This will save time passing along a notice and it really won't change the game play very much.

Nobody can destroy it with regular attacks they'll need a carbomb for it to be destroyed. It'll take about 10 carbombs to destroy it. There's no upgrades for it and it doesn't add to your influence

I think I preferred a previous discussion where capo's had a broadcast pm function to pm all players in that area.

The map is already too crowded in some areas. Players would just use them to post code lists on & we don't need those on the map.

It's an interesting idea but I think it would just get misused and people would post ridiculous unnecessary things in them

Well I agree with both you and mystery but that's why we make it a purchased item and we can make it so that it can be reported for misuse such as harassment towards others or code lists and if it reaches enough it'll automatically be destroyed and not returned to the players inventory as a punishment

I doubt support would want to have to deal with all those reports. It's a cool idea, but I don't see it happening.

Likewise.. Good idea but the powers that be probably wouldn't want something else that they'd have to moderate

No not report to support (haha rhymed) it automatically gets removed and you can only flag a billboard once. You can remove your flag and reflag (not that itll effect it) but you cannot flag multiple times

Make it on your turf:
Somebody clicks on your turf. They see it as it is now, but the arrow is red if you have a billboard on your turf. If they click the arrow, it open up the profile, but there's a view billboard but right above the attack this turf one.

How would it automatically be removed? Players would flag billboards as "bad" for reasons other than them breaking the rules. The only way to verify whether it was breaking the rules or not would be for someone from support to look at it. That's the problem.

Or that can work too
