Forum Titles And Descriptions


tomturd

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to just tidy the place up a bit, and its fairly obvious that the forum descriptions and titles are not consistent, or descriptive. For example 'Bike Trials discussion', then later on 'bike trials' (lowercase), sometimes the descriptions end with a full stop, sometimes they end with 2.

This is because I'm crap at describing stuff.

Could anyone who is gifted in this area quote this post and put any suggestions forward?

It would be good if we had a section that told everyone not to buy stuff from so people know who are scammers I think It would make it alot easyer then having topics all the time saysing ''scammer''

May help people alot.

I can't see a naming and blaming section going down all too well to be perfectly honest >.<

Scammers are usually banned, that's probably enough shame

I think the area descriptions work fine, None really seem to stick out and scream "CHANGE ME"

Semi related, only trials chat, rides and locations and news is under the heading 'full members' where all the media and chit chat stuff isn't. It's kind of confusing as it implies new members can post everywhere else other than those 3 sub-forums which isn't the case. How about considering changing 'full members' to something else like 'main forum' or something better that i can't come up with.

Haha, yeah I know. I couldn't think of anything better but as you say it doesn't make sense, this is why I need help :P

PS - posts in here will not increase your post count! having PS posts in here.... etc .... implies that posts count in general bike chat do count towards post count, either remove it, add the same phrase to general bike chat or add it to the category title.

Just a few suggestions. But they aren't too bad as they are.

Ha, best so far (Y)

I'll get my thinking cap on, but we could do with a new tagline for the SM Porn Subforum sometime too if anyone's feeling creative...

Perhaps simply suffixing the existing line with "No Prawn, put it away" would do the trick?

Ah yeah I need to tell you guys that i'm having to reduce the complimentry SM porn subscription to platinum. But tarty are increasing the SM discount to 20% so its not all bad news.
