How about a sticky or pm that you have to view, in order to post.SiegeLord wrote:Would you all think that it would be useful to have a sticky 'Read Before Posting' post in the event help forums explaining that we (for now at least) prefer One Big Thread style of arrangement, and having a hint about how to search the forums?

A free for all would be very disorganized... and it would be hard for ALL of the questions to be found, and you know...

This actually is not a bad idea. It would tell the new comer what to do a how to not mess up the forums.
Don't ask me how I know a new comer would mess up........

Well we could give move/delete powers to some users who collectively with the mods can respond quickly to anyone who messes things up. Or you could just lock the Event Help Threads once all the event threads are uptrajectoryroxs wrote:Dark Sabre wrote:Could probably do a welcome PM or something, but I doubt it would help much...

gee i wonder who that would be??starpug wrote: Well we could give move/delete powers to some users who collectively with the mods can respond quickly to anyone who messes things up.

Locking the board isnt a bad idea.. if someone wanted to make a thread that doesnt already exist [such as an efficiency thread for example] then they could just PM a mod.

or we could do what i said before...
easier than making pm's...i thinkbob3443 wrote:if its really long i don't think any one's going to actually read it...
you could do what you do for the poll's fourm, a mod has to see the topic before its actually post it, this way new members won't be able to make 20 threads of the same thing

Why bother with that when we can just put up all the threads for all the events then lock event help thread creation.bob3443 wrote:or we could do what i said before...easier than making pm's...i thinkbob3443 wrote:if its really long i don't think any one's going to actually read it...

Locking thread is the best solution in my opinion
