Can a mod lock this so people stop being idiots?
locking it wouldn't change a thing in my experience. they don't read in the first place past seeing the bans unbans board. they even ignore the the things like are you banned from NA1 or EU1 to put in their own thing half the time. all of the servers that call themselves "official" doesn't really help either.
this board leads to a lot of head scratching posts or behaviors.
i wouldn't mind renaming the server board and this board to better reflect where people should go for official servers and all the other servers. perhaps even making a separate board completely for the official servers with a sub board for unbans/bans and have the other servers be separate. trick is finding a name that is relatively short but clear enough that people can understand.
of course any of this will be better off left as is, and any changes that we could make would be made for BCoF when that game is release or something.(maybe beta?) that way it is a fresh start.
i also dont run the forums, so any changes would have to be made with the head admin and devs approval, as i wouldn't make sweeping changes by myself. speaking from a senior admins pov, i would like things a certain way to make my life and anyone elses life who does what i do easier.
it might be really nice if there was a "must read" for first time posters in this board where they can see a few threads like the rules, format, etc,. and they have to acknowledge they understand before being able to post here.(one time thing) maybe then some of them will be bothered to read the stickied threads.
