Stickied Thread's Subjects

zebular · August 2013

. . . . . I've reworded all the Stickied Thread's subject lines. This is in aims to make them not only aesthetically pleasing but also conform to some sort of Order among the chaos their subject lines were prior, when all flowing above or beneath each other. This way, in some resemblance of categories with shortened Subjects, they should be more easily seen and hopefully put to good use.

. . . . . If any Thread Authors desire a change, just post here with your request, or post-report on your thread's OP and request in that field, or PM any Moderator. I welcome any feedback or suggestions from all forums users here on any thoughts to make them look and flow better. Let me know what ye'all think and if this helps in their notice and use.

I saw you doing that Zeb and wondered what was happening. I think it looks much better, more cohesive.

Works for me!

Nice work, Zeb!

Looks better, but doesn't that kind of re-iterate the need for an actual "Community" (or) "Technical" sub-forum?

. . . . . Awesome! Not sure what you mean but I'd like to see a sub-forum for just normal (non-spotlight) foundry advertising, that would clear this one up to be discussions about the foundry, which would include and probably mostly consist of suggestions and tips/advice. What other types of forums do you suggest, do you mean like a Technical Advice forum for foundry authors to ask and share guides?

While not the thread author, I think you should remove the "UGC listing feedback and suggestions" part of Zovya's 'reporting exploit maps' tips.

. .. . . . Hmm, I wanted it to be clear it's for feedback and suggestions to improve, otherwise we'll end up with a dead sticky and multiple threads on how awful (not to demean the issue) the foundry rating and review system is as well as exploit report threads. The feedback needs to remain concise and orderly.

Well not all stickied threads need to be of the discussion type but we can still continue to talk about the elimination of certain maps/success of the system.

As it is, the title appears to me to be confusing two separate issues and is having the opposite effect to the one you want to achieve*

If you welcome a UGC listing feedback and suggestion thread, then perhaps make it separate from Zovya's FAQ thread?

*I am also confused as to whether I should post here as invited, or PM you. Conflicting messages are being received.

If it has to do with moderation, it belongs in PM. I'm open to suggestions on forum ordering of the thread subject lines is all. In relation to the sticky topic at hand, I'm only trying to clear the confusion on my intent for the thread remaining open:

. . . . . . Zovya's thread is detailing what to do to report exploiters. There really is no needed discussion for this, what the rest of the thread is for, as I stated (and re-stated), is feedback on how the play/rating/review system works, should work, and ideas to make it better to prevent exploit maps from skewing the system. There are not two topics. Separating it would mean closing down Zoyva's thread for replies, as there is nothing to discuss about reporting exploit maps in itself and yet another sticky on a related issue. It's best to keep it together with a thread OP that outlines the ways to report the underlying cause of the issue at hand - exploit maps skewing the system.

I applaud your attempts to organize and clarify.

The problem with I see with the sub-forum idea (which I definitely support) is that, as long as there's a main forum (this one), that's the one people will use.

So, I would suggest there should be NO main forum, just sub-forums:
- Foundry Use (tips, tricks, tutorials, FAQs, how-to questions, new feature suggestions, etc)
- Review Threads (pretty much anything UGC related)
- Everything Else
