How about a sticky or pm that you have to view, in order to post.

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 up

gee i wonder who that would be??
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.

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
easier than making pm's...i think

Why bother with that when we can just put up all the threads for all the events then lock event help thread creation.

Locking thread is the best solution in my opinion
