 Posted: Sun, 17th Sep 2006 16:47 Post subject: !!NEW!! PLEASE READ - TOPIC TITLES and TEMPLATES |
|
 |
FOLLOW THESE RULES FOR EVERY NEW THREAD!
So with the recent "anger" related to someone starting a game which had not gotten a scene release yet, I decided it would be good to trial a new idea in this section (feel free to use the same thing in other sections, but I want to see ALL threads in this section using this format in future)..
Simple enough, for all future threads please have 1 per game per console (so you can have a PS2 and XBOX game thread, but not 3 XBOX threads because of 3 different releases).. And name them with a [RELEASED] or [NOT RELEASED] at the end. Inside of the thread, make the top of the first post (I can add this when a release has been made) a list of the releases for that game, and release info such as multi region info.
for example.
[XBOX360] Just Cause [RELEASED]
[XBOX360] Just Cause [R]
and
[XBOX360] Gears of War[NO RELEASE]
[XBOX360] Gears of War[NR]
For larger topic titles you can simply use [NR] and [R] to save space. I will go through and change some of the topics now, please try and give this a good go and also feel free to leave your feedback (if anyone says bullfuck in the thread I will ban them  )..
Oh and another thing, if your going to make a game thread, make a template! Seriously, its so annoying opening a thread to find a comment like "kick ass this game isnt released but its going to be great". People do use this forum as a source of game information and opinion. Deal with it.
--- The first post in every thread should use this template!!! ---
We would like you to use the template below when you start a new thread for a console game.

Any comments? Thoughts? Worth taking to other sections?

Instead of R and NR tags we could also use the dirname of a release, would be even simplier.
For example:
Game XYZ
Game.XYZ.XBOX360-Somegroup

The only issue I saw with that is when multiple releases occur, for each region for example. The intention of the tags where to allow for easier spoting of released games, while still keeping to a 1 thread per console/game and giving the people who come here for info, the info they want.
