REDUCING CLUTTER IN HELP & REQUESTS

Posts

Pages: 1
I feel that the amount of stickies in the Help & Requests forum is a little excessive and could be consolidated. Out of the twenty topics that are displayed on a single forum page, nine are stickies (nearly half). While the amount of traffic that this forum receives does not make this a monumental issue, it's still one worth looking at. Reducing the sticky clutter in this forum would greatly improve the experience of newer users, who need this information the most. Also, it could potentially lessen the amount of topics posted that violate the forum guidelines, due to the fact that this information has been streamlined and compacted into fewer topics.

Although I haven't looked at every sticky completely in detail to determine which would be able to mesh the best, just glancing over the titles of the stickies, I see four that look like they belong together: "How to make a help topic," "Executive Decision 55.1.6 (d) - The Google Rule," "RMN Resource Section Details/Help/Request FAQ - If you don't read this, you'll probably be banned," and "What to do if your Game Submission is denied." Additionally, it looks like "How to make RM2K3 games playable without the RTP?," "RPG Maker XP/VX FAQ," and "The Master RPG Maker Helpful Things Topic" could be combined to form a master RPG Maker topic of sorts.

Ultimately, I realize that this is not a huge issue, but I feel that the benefits from consolidating this information can only benefit the forum as a whole. The information would be more streamlined; there would be more actual topics being displayed on the front page; and newer users won't have to scramble to get all the information they need to post, which they could be turned off by and either a) ignore the rules and post whatever or b) go to a different website for help.
