zeke50100 -> A clarification on this board? (12/14/2009 23:40:37)

Every single day, I see game suggestions here, in the Forum Suggestion board :/ What I propose is that there be a topic labeled "Game Suggestions do NOT belong here!" or something similar to try and cut down the amount of topics.

Yes, it is mentioned in the rules, but I think that it's an issue large enough to have it's own topic. For example, in MQQ&A, there is a thread for EC; yes, it's a thread that says "All EC in here" rather than redirecting to a separate board, but it's the same concept. I see less EC posts in the general MQQ&A* than I see Game Suggestions in FS.

*It should probably be none, but alas >.>

People don't often read the stickies, nor do they usually even check the most recent threads before creating a new thread...and honestly, if the board's name isn't enough of an indicator I don't know what would be. It's unfortunate but no matter how much we do there will be people who post game stuff here.

For most users it's just an honest mistake and they just need a little help finding the correct place to post, and the board is generally quiet enough that I don't find it too strenuous to clean out a couple of game-related threads here and there.

Well, I'm sure it would be more noticable if it were something like This (Look at the Unbreakable Rules title)

The eye would be immediately attracted to it (until you're used to it, in which case, you don't NEED to see it anymore), unless everything were bolded.

People might not read threads about rules, but I think I agree with Zeke. Simply having a thread called "Game Suggestions do NOT belong here" would be good. They would not have to read through the thread to realize that this forum is not for game suggestions. It might be able to stop many who are not quick to click the New Post button straight away.



etching -> RE: A clarification on this board? (12/15/2009 15:20:09)

A separate thread isn't really necessary. Just post it underneath the line on the top of the page:

"Post all your forum-related feedback and suggestions here. "




zeke50100 -> RE: A clarification on this board? (12/15/2009 21:20:45)

Wouldn't it be an improvement if it said "Post only your forum-related feedback and suggestions here. Refer to each specific game board for in-game suggestions and feedback" or something similar?

I just feel like it'd be more clear >.>

^I agree with Zeke...Perfect.



Chii -> RE: A clarification on this board? (12/19/2009 18:51:40)

I'm not sure where the words "forum-related feedback" implies "Post monster suggestions for AQW", and yet people make that mistake quite often. Somehow, I don't think it has anything to do with a misinterpretation of what constitutes forum suggestions.



zeke50100 -> RE: A clarification on this board? (12/21/2009 23:30:11)

I think it's because people see "Forum Suggestions" and think "Oh, it's a place where staff see suggestions from the forum", or something like that. I don't really get it, either.

I guess, if there is nothing to do, this can be teh lockz0rz.
