[1] I believe, we need a forum where the Council and the Members can talk between one another, to discuss what they want, how the whole process
is going and so on and so fourth. Also why not have it on PTS?
[2] I would like to see this forum used to discuss organisations such as the World Health Organisation, United Nation’s, World Bank and so on and so
fourth.
[3] I wish to see a sub-forum, with its own FSME in the U.K. and U.S. Political threads, that’ll focus on all the new laws which are getting passed.
On ATS recently, I have noticed increased debate on the American Constitution and if Laws are unconstitutional and I think this is needed to help
organise the forums.
[4] This, primarily will be a rarely used sub-forum, where any “Political Figures” can be interviewed. I would like a creation of a new input form
like that which is used for ATSNN articles, where you can simply put Your Name, Interviewees Name, Question and then Answer.
I removed the “General Ideological Topics” forum, because it really has no purpose and has a vast majority of the PTS posts within it. If someone
wishes to talk about the merits and failings of a particular ideology, they should conduct it in the forum where that ideology falls under. If they
wish to talk about the merits of “Liberalism” than do it in the “Liberal” forum not another forum which will only lead to unnecessary
confusion.
I would like to see and FSME placed in each area of PTS, like what is done with ATS. Someone who understands the principles of an ideology and will be
able to help others understand it. I would like to see this, to help new members and to also help older members who do not understand “Socialism”.
I would also like to see a thread at the top of each area explaining the “Politics” of that “forum” and in the “Regional” forums, I would
like to see a thread displaying a “Fact book” on every Nation which falls under that region.
I would like to see a PTS award, like that of the TWATS award but split, one for ATS and one for PTS. Also, as suggested by SpookyVince, I would like
to see a “Hall of Fame”, where both ATS and PTS winners would forever be remembered.
I want to see stronger enforcement by the moderators, where posts are moved to PTS when they primarily deal with politics and not the other areas.
Otherwise many of the forums have no worth. I would also like to see a
majority of the posts dealing with laws in the U.S/U.K. moved to the
sub-forums, so that they are in the right place. Too many times, have fantastic posts been lost in the N.W.O. forum because their relevance is not in
that area but more of a legal issue.
These are the things, I want to bring to PTS along with any ideas and contributions from the members and administration. I know, at first it looks
like a long list which could be heavily time consuming but it is something I feel needs to be done and as a councillor, I feel I need to
layout
my own plans for PTS so you can see what I want to bring and know what you are voting for.
Thank you all,
Peter J. Sanford.
