Hey guys, I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time now and want to share it with you and the official inZOI team members since it’s bugging me lately.
We all know that the forum community is growing daily and this leads to so much more support in terms of finding bugs, helping with technical issues, looking for workarounds and verbally organizing threads.
When Q1 of 2026 started, we also finally understood how to gain the infamous duck icons (golden, feathered, rubber) → a “reward” for actively participating here. That’s a great mechanic but I think the devs could use this way more efficiently.
Suggestions: (sorted from very important to less important)
- Give ALL Duck members the permission to merge and separate threads to make organizing posts easier (since almost 24/7 some Duck members are online) → this would take a lot of pressure away from your team and helps to provide real visibility within minutes / hours
- Give ALL Forum members the permission to delete their own threads → it gets really crowded and especially for new users the forum can be overwhelming at first + only “closing a thread” makes it stay in the forum and clutters everything which isn’t helpful at all
- Solved + Closed Threads should automatically be moved to the bottom of each category → we urgently need to declutter!
- Give Golden Duck members the ability to pin important threads at least in some categories → we’ve experienced that some guides (e.g. steam verification of files & crash guide) have been removed from the top of the categories even though they’re much needed for many bug reports and technical issues
These are the most important ones that came to my mind. Guys, please post your ideas below, so we can work out more improvements.
