Feral Heart

Say you're an active member on the forum and you gain the title of "Dedicated Member" what if your forum/site rank appeared in game?
Or if you became the Member of the Season and your in game username tag glowed a bright green? Perhaps there'd be a tiny icon beside your username that others could click to see some of your site stats like contest awards etc.

If this was possible what effect do you think it would have on the Feral Heart Community? Positive & or negative. Do you think it would encourage more users to become activite on site?

(Keep in mind that I'm reserving my own opinions to this topic to view everyone else's first)

For quite some time now I as well as some other users have noticed and been bothered by the constant repetitive answers being posted in help threads.

What do I mean by this?

Basically a user starts a thread asking a question and another user answers under it about ways that they can fix their problem. That's fine and great but then minutes/hours later a few different users post under the same thread often suggesting the same exact thing(s) that the previous user suggested. Often times these other users will simply rephrase the answer of the previous poster.

Now... Why is this bothersome?

1.) It looks rude to the person who first suggested something.

When users simply repeat the suggestion already made previously by someone it seems as though you aren't being considerate to this other person's post. It's as if they didn't even say anything.

2.) It looks as if you're not even taking the time to read through other replies before replying yourself. If you've read through the replies well enough you'd have no reason to repeat something already stated.

3.) It looks as if you're just after lifting your post count since you're needlessly repeating something that has already been stated.

4.) You're unnecessarily rebumping a thread with a repetitive answer.

Now... I understand that some people are genuinely trying to be helpful but repeating answers doesn't really help anyone. My suggestion is that users perhaps elaborate on a previously stated answer rather then simply repeating and reposting it. By elaborating I mean like this:

Question: User asks a question about how to get a stuck character out of a map.  

User 1 answers: Use the character reset.

Users 1's answer is vague so user 2 says...

User 2: As User 1 stated use the character reset option at the top right of the site in the gold box. (Insert screenshot here).

In this case it is understandable to "repeat" an answer since the next user is simply elaborating on what was previously stated. By elaborating on the answer you'll be helping this confused user rather than just restating the same answer over and over again.

Other things that can be done is to state other relevant solutions that previous posters haven't already suggested. Remember that the goal here is to help others for the sake of helping so I'm asking kindly that some of you read through this thread and consider what has been said next time you decide to post.

This thread isn't to point out any particular users nor to start a rant so please keep any responses appropriate and mature. This also does not mean that next time anyone sees a user doing this that they're allowed to point them out or attack them over it. This is merely an observation & suggestion thread.

This is the board where users are encouraged to post their work in progress custom map related media and discussions. Any topics relating to custom maps from polls, opinions of particular map(s), general discussions, and work in progress maps go here.

---

The Map request board is where users can post threads with details of the kind of map(s) they are seeking for others to make for them. This is also the spot where map makers can open shop to accept in coming requests.

---

The Finished Maps board is where all and only completed maps may be featured. It is highly recommended that map threads submitted in this board contain not only the download link for the map(s) but also detailed screenshots of the map(s) themselves.

This question is basically inspired after a conversation I had with some friends back at home. If any movies, shows, game, comics/Manga's, books etc could be combined or crossed over each other to form a whole new interesting thing which would you like to see brought together.

Example:

Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings

DBZ & Naruto
 
Halo & Mass Effect
