If farmers opt out of the derby, they also lose access to be able to see everything derby related within their neighbourhood. I have farmers in my team who sometimes need to opt out for the week, but they're still interested in what is happening. It also also makes things difficult if a leader loses derby visibility if they need to opt out.
I'm not keen on the idea of elders , or even leaders, having privileges. Yes to more duties if needed. No to more perks.
If it was changed so that non-participants could watch the Derby log or trash board, then the whole hood should have these abilities, not just some.
What is to see? I don't understand.Quote:

Thanks for your feedback pitchfork. I've removed the "Elders and above" sentence.
If an opted out player could trash board or help with tasks, then they have not really opted out. As it is, an opted out player helps with boat and other sales tasks. With all the complaints of unfair matchups, i think keeping them away from task board was a good idea.
Hope I wasn't being too rude, Dalllyn, it is just my opinion - just meant as constructive feedback - but upon re-reading I sound pretty bossy, lol. Sorry!
HDForum, I think I've confused the issue by using some poor grammar. Dalllyn is only requesting visibility, just to be able to see what is going on/ not feel totally left out of the loop. The original post did not request that non-participants should be able to actively trash the board.

I thought about what you said and agree with you the "I understand some neighbourhoods might not want new members seeing everything until that trust has been formed, so the derby visibility could just apply to Elders and above." suggestion was unnecessary.

I agree. Non participants should be able to see the Derby Board. Just because they've opted out for the week doesnt mean they aren't interested in what is going on. There's no downside to it, so why not?!
This seems an old problem that hasn't been fixed yet. As leader of a nbh. I keep track of neighbours activity through task log and derby participation. As I opted out for this weeks derby (lack of time), I now can't check the derby log. Don't know if it will be visible on the rest day, but I really want to know the individual derby scores. Knowing what tasks are being done would also be nice, can't ask about them without chat.
I would love this feature because: we have a few friends in our neighborhood who don't play often enough to be worth them being in the derby. So they opt out. However, if they could see the derby tasks that others are doing, they could more easily be helpful to the rest of us without having to explain everything in the chat. Example; if I'm doing a task to serve a specific town visitor, they would know to let those people go from their town. Or if I'm doing a help task, they would know to ask for help when we are on together. Etc…
So, my vote: yes to opted out players viewing more of the derby details.
