IG time shown in topics

Darling Walsh 6 years ago updated by World of Potter 5 years ago 1

We all know the setting for "time" when creating a topic, and the general understanding here is that it's for what day and what time of day it is. Shouldn't there also be a note about what time of year it is?


The general understanding of the rules is that your topic takes place in the week and year it's posted in. Example, I create a topic in week 3 year 2. Even if it's now a long time later, say year 5, the topic is still taking place in year 2. This should be noted somewhere, as to avoid confusion and making it easier to see on older topics when they take place. 

As it is against the rules to RP in the past or the future, this should be an automatic setting (meaning that users don't need to fill it in with the other settings, it shows up automatically). The alternative would be to make a rule to include IG year/month in either your time setting or your first post. 


To summarise, what I'm suggesting is a function that shows what year/month it is IG in each topic, which will be based on when the topic was first created. It'd be a simple addition to the settings summary on top of each topic.


Thank you for the consideration!
