1. New building zones have been constructed to allow individuals to self-claim or request claiming from a moderator. This new zone works on a system of trust. Over time, an individual will gain a trust score, which provides privileges if you have a higher trust score. Players with a 60% trust score will be able to self-claim a zone, with players lower in trust being able to ask a moderator.
2. To cater to all individuals, a brand-new zone within MakerSpace has been developed called the MakerSpace Cafe, which has NPC-like players performing chilled café music mixed with ambient café sounds. The aim of this zone is to allow individuals to relax, get informed about other events, socialise and view in-room advertising which will be implemented at a later date.
3. New shutdown moderation system (BETA) is a new moderation system to reward individuals doing the right thing and to shut down malicious and bad behaviour. The aim of the system is to ensure that individuals who accidentally may do the wrong thing are not harshly punished compared to others who repeat a specific malicious behaviour. Using a variety of different systems to moderate individuals’ behaviour and using a lot of out-of-the-box thinking, shutdown is now in a good state to begin testing.
