Merge "gameplay" and "game related questions"??

Postby bzyboy » Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:40 pm

I'm not sure what the difference is between the "gameplay" board and the "game related questions" board. There's a lot of similarity in that people are asking questions based on the game in general and also asking for help on certain sections of the games on both boards. Does it make sense to merge the two and have one board where all those questions are asked??

Sheriff should probably make Game Related Questions a subforum under Gameplay. ;)

I think the best idea is to rename Game Related Questions to add "Help" somehow - there seem to be scattered "OMG MY SYSTEM IS BONKERZ!!" posts across different forums. Like "Game Related Questions and Help", and change the Gameplay board to Gameplay Discussions. So

Gameplay Related Questions and Help

Gameplay Discussion
*

That keeps the two separate, so those who want to concentrate on helping newer players, etc. have a forum to find that, and those who want to discuss gameplay topics (like, features, etc.) can go to Discussions.

Of course, there is some overlap - but I think the confusion lies with people who want to say "What do you want to see in DI2?" or "What is your favorite creativ object to program?" are putting them in Questions, when they really are discussion - and people are putting the "OMGZ HELP MEZ" in the Discussion section.

Oh, and it would be good if they do add the "help" section to state in a sticky "READ ME BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP" where the recurring questions can be placed, and/or make it clear that EVERYONE who replies is volunteering their personal time to do so, so the "why has no one answered my question? why can't you fix this??" posts are specified up front to be outlawed. ;-)


*and not to be too OCD, but since I am lol I really wish the various forum names were capitalized...yes, I know, I'm crazy...but it does make my OCD go off like a three alarm fire, LOL.

i'm only okay with it becoming a subforum. I really don't want this to happen since it would be a bit more disorganized.Lets see what sheriff thinks when he comes across it :D . This doesn't affect just 4 people, it effects basically every forum member we've gotten since the release since most of em are here because they need game help. Thats why there are questions being reasked, its too big in there and nobody goes through tons of pages to find an answer. I'm not gonna lie either, i've done it before too.
Kinda tired.
Chat with me If you're tired too.

Great job Sheriff! The forum renames should help new members know where to post.
