A lot of new topics are being opened, a great deal of them concerning the same issues ("why did my players lose a star?").

or about my cup opponent/ why I lost from that team/ is he a cheater ...
I agree that general discussion is a little chaotic.
But if threads with the same subject like
cup opponent/ why I lost from that team/ is he a cheater/...
if would be merged, this would help or maybe could make them too chaotic, with 50 pages each.

If General discussion had 10 (for example) sub categories ?
like games/players/cup/CH.L/info/records ...

It's true that lots of searches must be for specific formations.
1) A tag function could improve finding formation-specific content

Just noticed there is a tag cloud when you go to advanced search. You can even search for specific tags. But then people should use it when opening a new topic. I don't think a lot of people do that.

Could be a solution but that would mean more sub forums. I do get the impression people think there are enough of those already.

I've thought about it a bit, but I don't have the solution either. Some things you could do though:

- "My players have lost a star!" -> "It's explained here: point to Jeeves topic (Lost Star). This topic will be closed." -> close topic. It will disappear quickly.
- Rant -> point to / merge with Vent thread
- Lot's of topics about not honouring token offers and vid's not working -> move to Bugs & Technical
- How do I recognize a fast trainer -> point to / merge with your guide

- Or maybe opening new topics could be discouraged a bit (emphasize on search first)

- Or maybe you need a newbee section where players up to level 3? / 5? can ask (and get answers to) their "newbee" questions (with some useful topics stickied, like Lost Star).

One recent example (nothing personal). This one:

could have been posted here:

Which is a great read anyway and shouldn't get lost.
