Title: Restrict creation of new threads to new members
Post by: bynter on January 13, 2013, 09:42 am
So many fucking noob threads! If we made it so that you weren't allowed to create a new thread until you had at least ten posts, this would have several advantages: the person with the question would post their question in one the 24,323,423 existing threads relevant to that topic. or, they would be forced to spend thirty seconds looking for a topic of that nature that probably already answers their question anyways. By the time they were ten posts in, they will be in the habit of looking for a relevant thread before creating one.


AND IT WOULD STOP SPAM THREADS, THIS IS FUCKING GENIUS!

While we're on the matter of recommendations to help streamline thread creation, I also say that there should be official pinned threads in this board for recommendations. You know, instead of a new thread being created each time someone had an idea, there could just be a thread dedicated to listing these ideas, and the OP could be periodically changed to name off some of the more popular ideas. If the idea is good and garners discussion, then someone would probably make a thread about it that might even have a poll. The main threads would be "Forum feature request discussion" and "Marketplace feature request discussion". Other stuff that somehow didn't fit, or was really elaborate would get it's own thread.

I really feel as though this would make it easier for SR stuff to listen to our reccomendations since they could view more information in less time.



In fact, I might make one of these myself when I get some free time one of these days, in hopes of maybe it could get pinned. That'd probably require going through this whole board and pulling out some of the more popular ideas and listing them off in the OP of my proposed thread.
