Talk:Custom Track Regions/Wiimmfi

Long term plans: Manage regions over Wiimmfi portal

I have plans to manage the Custom Track Regions completely over Wiimmfi and it Portal. It is a long term plan, that should be published in 2018. Here I want to discuss it before starting with implementation.

State of the art

• I'm already manage allowed regions for Wiimmfi. This page is only a manual moderated mirror of the Wiimmfi reality.
• I have to edit manually at Wiimmfi side all requests and little changes requested here.
• This page allows to reserve regions without activating the region at Wiimmfi.
• Sometimes I overlook some requests.

Ideas

• If a user ask me, I can assign regions to his Wiimmfi account.
• Later, users can claim regions by themself at Wiimmfi portal. All claims are assigned with an timeout if unused.
  • Auto claim of first N free regions.
• If wanted, I can assign a region to 2 or more accounts.
• After assigning a region to a Wiimmfi account, the user can manage the region:
  • Give it a name
  • Enable or disable racing, battle and/or countdown.
  • Manage flags for mkw-ana (deny/allow cheats).
• If a owner sets bad region names (forbidden words) I will revoke the assignment, but still allow the usage of the region.
• Owner of a region can kick players from the region (like room kick, idea by Atlas).

Would it be ever possible to have privileges of your own region? For example, being like a "moderator" for your region to kick/ban people from that region only, so they aren't able to join there. —Atlas (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

nice idea -- Wiimm (talk) 10:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Related: Maybe region owners can appoint other moderators for that region, which would act like regular Wiimmfi moderators, but only for that region.
Also: Maybe allow other region prefixes other than "vs", "vx", "bt", "bx", or "cd"

Agreed, would be great in case someone creates another custom gamemode; perhaps online Competitions or something. --Guilmon35249vr (talk) 08:41, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

In case someone is developing a new game mode, and has a first test version available, we can (and will) assign them a new 2-letter region prefix for that game mode, just like we did with "cd" for the CTGP countdown mode. Just enabling all of them just causes a mess when everyone wants a cool prefix for their region. -- Leseratte (talk) 19:56, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
