Hi kind mods,

Please consider making some changes to the Formations and Tactics forum. Currently, there are a lot of very bad topics, like this one, for example, that ask a question that has an existing answer and no chance of creating new ideas.

To help cut down on useless topics I suggest two things:


  1. Disembowel the http://forum.topeleven.com/formation...ation-use.html thread, break it down into smaller, formation specific threads. I suggest the 8 most common formations, maybe the "predefined" formations? Then sticky those to take up visual space. I know it would be ugly, but it would help force the idea that answers already exist before hitting that "create new thread" button.
  2. Change the forum sign up rules! Dis-allow thread creation until after 2 replies for new users. This sounds silly, but the purpose is to frustrate people a little and make them consider using the search feature of the forum. I've seen this work. New members are generally the worst (creating bad threads).


Other ideas welcome!
