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:
- 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.
- 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!
