Frankly, It makes good sense to add 3 new forums to organize the topics in feedback. Subforums.

Some would say there is a lot of clutter in here. Admittely, it would be very difficult to organize these things, but this forum can use such organization.

My proposal is 3 subforums.

Accepted - These are approved topics, but are still in the negotiation process for them.
Denied - These are rejected topics. If admins wish it, nobody can post on them.
Archived - Approved topics that are finished. These may or may not be in the game/forums yet.


There is PLENTY enough topics in here to support this.

As much as I am not worthy, I volunteer to organize and manage this if you will let me. You can trust me.

Why would denied topics need to have a subforum if they have been rejected and locked?

better organization. Eventually those locked topics would seriously clutter this place.

thats why they get deleted.

Bad idea. Having to run around and approve everyone's threads on top of the existing moderational load is a recipe for trouble.

And so is allowing users, especially users who have not really been here very long, be the ones to approve the threads. Scenario: User A dislikes User B. User A has the power to approve User B's threads. User A doesn't care and decides he will never approve User B's threads.

It's a HUGE mess.

This too, it's just too much work.

I am NOT like that. I know better than to judge based on whether I like the person or not. I am FULLY aware that its abusive in the first place. I even have the background to support that.

Go on, test me. I dare you. I will not fail, so I bet.


As for work, I have NOTHING but time.

Aravan99, you're not on some unofficial forum somewhere. You're an anonymous user on a forum which is reflective of a large and popular gaming company.

You can't just join the forum and say, "Hey, put me in charge, I won't fail you. Do it."

I am aware of that, and know it takes time and discipline. I may be an abusve influence, but I am more than willing to prove I am more than capable to do this without abusing it, although my actions on the forums prove otherwise.

Further, I have seen boards that do this in the first place. Its a BIG plus for organization.

The issue is TRUST. Earning their trust in spite of my actions. But thats extremely difficult to test... let alone judge.

There really is no reason for this, all it would do is add to complexity, and the forum complexity meter should be kept in the green.

hmm... your right it should be kept in the green seeing the intended audience.

But there is a reason. I have said that over and over again.

Organization.

Lets encourage others to decide. As much as you want it to die, this is a rather big issue, at least to me.

Organization is fine, most of the best ideas are already in a sticky that is upkept perfectly fine. If you want your idea to be looked at by officials or something, post in the thread chosen by the officials.

ok.
