 Posted: Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:55 pm Post subject: [Suggestion]Single/Multi-Player Release Sections |
 |
|
Note:
Sorry for the post length but I hope that you please read it all before replying.
Thank you.
My Suggestion:
I'm here to suggest Single-Player and Multi-Player Sub-Sections that are intended for Releases.
The Sub-Sections can be either contained along side the current requests sections, or even inside each request section.
Poll:
I know some people vote without reading the topic...
Please read before you vote.
I want people to post their reason, I understand that there will be people who disagree with this, and that is fine.
But please tell us why, so that we can fairly decide.
Why this is good:
Reason 1:
Modifying the existing section is easy and it will not take up much space.
If you put it in the Single and Multi-Player Releases sections individually, it will take the space of 1 sticky.
If you put extra sections it will look like I will demonstrated at "Example:"
Reason 2:
Spam is increasing in both the Single and Multi-player forums.
Without moderators, every little bit builds up...
This will help eliminate spam relating to Releases.
Reason 3:
It will make finding Releases much easier for everyone.
Not just by people who do not like to use search but also with search.
Reason 4:
Yes, I know that General Gamehacking would be the proper place to post releases.
But releases get lost there too.
Finding them in search gets more difficult as more topics are made.
Easier to find means less people asking to find them.
Which means, less spam in the Multi-Player, Single-Player, General Gamehacking, and Cheat Engine sections.
Example:
Related Suggestion:
Moderator[s] for Single and Multi-Player cheat requests.
I know that the process of choosing a moderator isn't quick.
But these sections both desperately need moderators.
I'm not asking for there to be immediate mods, but just for DarkByte to please look into it.
The spam in this sections keep growing since there is nobody to lock, delete, or move any of it.
I constantly see week old spam topics being bumped to only have more spam added to them.
There are also topics that belong in completely different sections floating around in there.
Topics relating to Flash Games, General Gamehacking, Maple Story, Runescape, etc., all of which have their own sections.
Please excuse my English,
- Toxic

I like this idea,
But you do know some retards will still ask for something in the release section, as always.

I know, which is why I suggested that those sections get moderator[s].
Moving a topic isn't difficult, I know it only takes a couple of seconds.
And the sections are not that active that it needs 4 mods, just at least 1 to keep things more organized.
And if the moderator[s] put rules in place, and people see that they have to follow them.
I do not mean ridiculous rules just ones to keep it cleaner.
They might be more careful.

Actually, no.
The requests sections will have less people posting releases there.
This will help a little with that problem, it will also make less people post releases in Cheat Engine, General Gamehacking, and other sections.
It also gives mods a place to move Requests to if they think the section is incorret.
It will also cut down the spam made by people looking for hacks or game guides.
They can now, instead of having to look through 40+ pages if they search the whole forum, only have to search the Release section.
The only other "spam" that will exist is people requesting in the Release section.
Which can easily be moved to Requests by a moderator.
This you can just move to Requests, so it's not really spam.
Overall, this should make less spam for a lot of other sections too, not just Muti/Single-Player request sections.

That is an option, there might be another way too.
Like when posting a Game's release in the sections...
You can make people lable it [Flash] if it is a flash game.
Or what you said.
Both would work good.

Pretty good idea.
This would work better:
Those release sections to be sub-sections where it is locked BUT people should post releases in the normal section thus the mod moving it into the locked sub-section for releases would work better if that can work. If not then tags is the way to go.

Sorry But I personally don't like this idea
It just seems...Bad ;-;
It wouldn't do much, And People release their things in the regular sections
Adding a new section would just add to the spam 0-o

That can work, however there are two problems with that.
1. People will create new topics for support since they can't post in existing ones.
2. People will still be posting their releases in all the other sections.
If they just posted it in one, it wouldn't be that much of a hassle.
But they don't.
They post them in almost every section [even random spam, not that I mind].
One could get DB to make it so authorization is needed to have a topic posted.
That would overflow anyone's inbox though.

I mean its a good idea but you dont know what kind of drama that will happen in there? I mean like ... stolen work. If its moderated in the right way it could create a whole new system for request and supply. Without this the request forums were just a mess but with this i think they would be more organized. Also theres the fact of tons of spam in that section because its "new" and because its a "get what you want" section ...
|
Stolen Work:
Require that credits be listed.
If a user says that they made it, and someone shows they did not.
Have a moderator edit the topic to include correct credits and warn the user.
Moderation/Rules
If my suggestion gets taken into account...
I already have ideas for good rules for those sections.
Everything from Tags, credits, format, language, etc.
For example, I hate when people post a guide that nobody can understand because it is not clear.
These guides only cause spam...
That wouldn't be allowed to be posted unless it is understandable.
So then I would like to ask DB for a topic where the community can vote on the new rules.
If there is something thought too strict, then it gets changed to an acceptable degree.
Spam
Spam should be on a no-tolerance policy.
You spam - you get warned and your post deleted/moved.
As simple as that.
So people will be more careful to spam.
Also if you really want to you can also create a new usergroup with no access to these sections.
If a user then keeps breaking rules, the moderator then revokes his access to the section by moving him into the new usergroup.

I appreciate your reply.
I just want to know why you think would it add to the spam?
I really don't understand why people think this...
Because I explained how it will reduce it almost everywhere.
And if well moderated, it would have almost no spam.
And spam there would be deleted/moved and the user punished.

I think adding those sections will work,
In flash games you could add on for releases, or in single player or multi.
All the spam would be in the main threads like it is now.

I agree, either would work.
The spam will still be in the main threads like you said.
But at least those moderators have a place to move the topics to that deal with releases.
That should clean them up a little bit.
The moderator[s] who then moderate the Releases/Request section have to clean the topic if possible.
I don't know if DarkByte allows moderators to delete single posts.
If he does then cleaning a topic will not be a big problem either.
