Subject: Threads Get Beaten Down in General Too Fast |
| |
As all of us have experienced at one point or another, threads on the General forum get beated down into the archives too quickly. They stay on the front page for less than a minute a lot of the time. I have three solutions to this problem:
1. Lock all threads that do not belong here. If someone posts a suggestion that belongs in the suggestion forum, get it out of here. If someone posts a question, regarding a class bug, get it out of here.
2. Create more forums. This would hopefully spread out more posts into more forums instead of them all being classified as General (which to most people means "everything else").
3. Perhaps Blizzard could make more than one General forum? Another idea is to get rid of the General forum so that all threads that would normally go in General go into the server-specific forums. This would also work out well since the server-specific forums don't have many threads so it would beef them up at the same time.

1) You can help this by reporting posts that are not in the proper area.
2 and 3) More forums/split forums mean more moderation, and we are stretched extremely thin as is.
I understand your requests, but for the time being making more forums would only exacerbate the problem.
