Anyone can make an account on the zz server. On the login screen, it's the last flag that says: "beta.forgeofempires.com"IThey test out new content there to a limited audience who know not to whine about stuff when it breaks or gets pulled with no warning!
That's not true. Blacksmith doesn't want off-topic discussion about things on the zz-server. And yes, this is the EN forum, so zz-server is off-topic here.
Regarding the original question: zz is a server where we roll out changes first (about a week or two before official release). Be warned that zz is indeed "more BETA than BETA" - we will frequently fiddle around with things there, don't expect changelogs or apologies on zz.

Thats why I prefer beta stuff to remain on beta.
Because it wasn't a moderator that created it. It was a Co-Community Manager.That's true. But it's also a fact that beta stuff will most likely make it to the rest of the servers, and as far as this thread is concerned, it says "upcoming spoilers", so I think that the two are linked.
Then comes the natural question, just because a moderator created a spoiler thread, why shouldn't someone else be allowed to make a similar spoiler thread?

It's called Upcoming Spoilers, because if you read the first post, Blacksmith spoilers some upcoming features.
Those are the spoilers to be discussed. As Anwar nicely put as well, zz. discussions are off topic in these forums.
Actually, I think anything that doesn't concern the features in the first post are off-topic in this particular thread.

Alpha/beta are milestones in the game/service development (alpha is usually denotes internal testing, while beta involves us) in between there are many patches, those are not Alpha/beta patches, just patches. Having a test server where they role out those patches(just like having several worlds) is a precautionary measure used for quality assurance for us, nothing more.Probably more accurate to call it Alpha server, since Alpha testing precedes Beta testing.

I don't see the major difference between a Co-Community Manager and a Moderator. They're still representing the game / organisation.
Those spoilers included the industrial age, which also happens to be on the zz. server already. How can you argue that "what is on the zz server should stay on the zz forum" when we're trying to discuss the industrial age.
