What’s Next?
So far, no one has really suggested anything that I personally disagree with.
(Obviously none of this is up to me personally, SG makes decisions on Forum Rules, there are multiple moderators, any forum Regular can help with posts titles/categories, and anyone in this thread who creates a topic can help make it clear in the title and top post what it is.)
That said, my main takeaways (which, again, I agree with all of):
-
Merge clear duplicates, leave separate topics alone
-
Don’t merge existing conversations into other ones, only single duplicates or a quick response or two
-
Everyone prefers shorter threads on narrower topics (me too!)
-
Titles that indicate what the thread is about are useful
-
When there’s a thread that’s grown large organically, it can be useful to start a new one (e.g. pre-release Wonderland heroes vs. post-release)
-
It’d be nice to have at least one thread about each hero
-
When a thread is merged, seeing the closed one listed is annoying (this is fixable going forward)
-
Real complaints should never be put into the Ridiculous Complaints Thread (they’re not, just reiterating that)
-
As a reader, use your Likes, and the summarize button
-
SG should perhaps consider more specific topic categories for the forum, so threads can stay separate while still not being a jumbled mess
-
Common topics that people are looking for could be well served by clear guide topics that pointed people in the right direction
I read back through the whole thread to synopsize.
Did I miss anything?
