We really really really need the old forum post rating -system back, with the possibility of voting minus!
Nowadays the forums are flooded by "spam" i.e. really low level of IQ in the messages, the same people posting many messages per day, and almost always some user globally gives them a ball and boosts their sel-esteem, making them post even more, and quite often the content is the same same same over and over again in new threads. A positive tone should also be rewarded and a negative tone can be penalized if it was possible to vote negative. This to make a positive environment in the forums/community instead of scaring away new users.

Presenting the server time...
It is quite easy to add, and as this game has schedules upon server-time, for some of its activities, its is just reasonable to add...

I would even say that not putting that clock is a (very minor) system definition bug/hole.

I think it is the developers choice not to show server time. So how can it then be a bug? =)
The weekly schedule can be found in the game manual with the right time shown if you set your language
The scrimmages are being defined to be closed between X to Y Server-Time. There is no local time for that.

Regardless to that;
1) I prefer English (USA), so the weekly schedule will be upon USA and not ISR.
2) There are few time zones in USA, so what you are saying about the Weekly schedule cannot be true anyhow.

I also use English (US), but the scheduled events are the same every week and should be real easy ti learn fast when they do occur.
Yes, here you are right/
The server is located in Boston as far as i know and hence server time is eastern standard time. In Sweden we have a -6h difference so you should have -8h difference if im not wrong.
No reason to make it complicated when there is no reason not to make it simple. They just need to add another clock, or right the difference from current clock to Server-Time.
All US users have the same time no matter where they live.
OK. Not that I think that it is the smart thing to do...
Although, I understand the problem of making multi-conferences for representing the different time-zones better.
It is less important, but I would have try and breaking the lower divisions (in the US) into East and West, and when there are several time-zones users at a single conference, to have the schedule be upon the home team.
This has a server affect, but probably a good one.
Instead having a Server burst for US, it will be break down into two (or more) time-zones.

And again, this is not the main thing here.
The main thing is that for a more user-friendly game, the BB-game should display the Server-Clock as well.
