in Star Trek Online General Discussion
So been noticing a lot of questions being asked in general and people helpfully answering only to have the OP say 'Sorry should of said im on X console not PC' So I was thinking would it not be better to have 3 separated General Discussion Forums one for each platform to keep things more organised and helpful?

PC - General Discussion
PS4 - General Discussion
XBox 1 - General Discussion

    There is no point to having different forums tabs for GD. All it takes is 1 second to type the platform in the header! Platform specific issues and bugs shouldn't be in GD as well. That's what the Support and Feedback forums are for. And frankily, I'm sure the small dev team are too busy sorting the game out than to bother with discussions in GD.

    Except nobody ever takes that 1 second to type it.

    And there aren't platform-specific bug forums either for that matter.

    Yep this and lets face it not everyone is accustom to using forums we know to tab the topic header with X console however people that are new to forums and are looking for help who have clicked on the PS4/Xbone tab above just get directed to the forum and dont know that its everything lumped into one.

    We can manage with no GD forums for each platform but I do feel bug forums should be specific as that will make it easier for devs to filter and the fact it has not been done is strange in my opinion...
