StormHammer Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Okay, just a little FYI/request coming your way... As the forums hot up, a lot of threads are going to get buried. It would really help if you could try not to start multiple threads on the same topic. There are quite a few on release dates, etc., and in order to try and make it less confusing, we're going to have to start merging some threads...and splitting others when they go waaaayy off topic. So if a thread you start suddenly seems to disappear...it may have been merged with an existing one on the same topic....so DON'T PANIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazilla Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 great. just 1 question. When they merge, does the merged one go to the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 When I merge threads, I will pick the one that was either started first, or has the most post counts, as the recipient of the posts in the duplicate thread. The secondary thread is then auto-deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I appreciate it Stormhammer the forums were getting to a point where it was taking a rediculous ammount of time to read multiple topics on the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hey, no problem people. Just another FYI...some threads that have similar names but cover slightly different topics (ie, that should not really be merged) may get renamed to clarify their content. I've already done that with a couple of MP threads...so it should help you to see what a thread actually contains, instead of Multiplayer Question, Multiplayer, Thoughts on MP...etc...ad infinitum. So, it would help if thread starters could give a bit more clarity to their thread titles when actually posting a new topic. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 N1 Stormy, why not make it a sticky thread so all newer members can see it? I found this at the bottom of the page already... wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Yea........theres so much discussion at the moment threads are disappearing even off the second pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Actually, I have been advised that merging threads is not really appropriate at this time. It would probably confuse new members/posters if their topics suddenly disappeared. If you feel that you are answering posts in a very similar vein (such as release dates, etc.) let us know, and we will try to get such information into the FAQ. Also, sticky posts will largely be used for Hot Topics etc., from now on...and only remain sticky for around 24 hours. Just remember to keep us moderators informed of any spamming, flaming, insults, trolling, bar-room brawls or other questionable behaviour so that we can deal with it promptly. And just to reiterate, it would help other members if those who start topics could be a little more specific with their topic names...to avoid some confusion. Thanks, people.

CaptainRAVE Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Yea.......recently these boards have gone really confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted January 22, 2002 Author Share Posted January 22, 2002 Rave...we're apparently getting more than 20 new members a day across the forums...so the number of posts is bound to increase. I suspect there will be many more new members after the game is actually released... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
