Less sticky threads in Citizens Sub-Forum

[Strider]

We need to have less sticky threads in the citizens thread. Unstuck threads aren't getting the attention they should because of all the sticky threads. Maybe we should have a rule about this maybe like: Any sticky threads that last post was made over 10 days is to be UnStuck. To be re-stuck discussion has to start back up and it must be requested. Only important game-related threads are allowed to stay longer then that.

I asked DOM to unstick and close the Citizen Honors Hall of Fame. I encourage that other un-needed or un-important threads be unstuck to.

Threads that should be Un-Stuck:

Citizen Honors: Hall of Fame already done
Phoenatican Geographical Society Only 5 posts? Sounds like it shouldn't have even been stuck in the first place.
Power to the People Organization (PPO) Not meaning to target dis's threads, but this discussion seems to be over.
Passive Expansion Project (PEP) - Citizen Discussion This one also seems to be mainly over
Winning the Modern Wonder Wars - Citizen Disscusion Yet another one that seems to be about over.
German ethnic group in Phoenatica Not meaning anything bad to grandmaster and I really don't know sense I've never read the thread, but it sounds more like a citizens group to me.

By rule, any threads that are considered 'important' can be stuck. It is the citizens job to inform me if they need a thread stuck by posting so in the Needed Stuff thread.

Generally, if time allows, I unstick any threads that have not had any discussion in them for at least two weeks.

 

[Strider]

We need to change it. Say only important game related or changing topics are allowed to be sticky. No Citizens groups etc. Their is far to many sticky threads. Or we could have a No-Sticky rule.

the NGS is our map-resource. thats why it was stuck and should stay so.
i simply fogot about the ppo though. will request to unstuck it.

 

[disorganizer]

just noticed this was done allready... also the PGS was unstuck :-(

so how will new ppl find the maps they need? there is no sticky resource for it.
the 5 posts were only because i UPDATE my info posts instead of making endless threads...
i request stickying the PGS thread again!
instead, the "demogame concern" thread seems to be dead and could also be unstuck.

Dis, The Provincial Maps thread has stayed relatively close to the top of the main forum for a long time, unstickied. Shouldn't the PGS go where the Provincial Maps are?

 

[Almightyjosh]

This thread is important, it should be sticky.

 

[disorganizer]

I dont know. But its useless to hide our maps in the mass of other threads. Maybe the provincial maps could be put to the PGS thread as reference, or a cross-reference link would do the job?

I could do with less sticky threads myself. I'd prefer to keep sticky only those threads that pass these standards:
- somehow relevant for everyone
- important ongoing game-related topic (like victory conditions, newbies shed...)

Popular threads and useful threads get bumped to the top anyway by participation. No threads are deleted so we can always find old topics. I don't think there should be any rules, as it can only start arguments, but I agree with Strider that there are too many.

Keeping our information as neat and easy to find as possible, especially for new and casual Demo gamers, is a big and important task, IMHO.

I didn't request for it to be stuck. Someone must have done it themselves. I'll ask DOM to unstick it.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Someone posted to stick it.

LOL. That is rather funny. I bet they did it just for that reason....

 

[Strider]

It is funny . Do you remember who requested that DOM?

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Maybe it was me in a moment of pure evil......

No I don't remember who it was... It may have been by PM or the Needed Stuff thread. It was in one of my 'spend five minutes on-line' periods, so I just slammed through it.

Wait? Why am I a suspect!!! DOM!!! Did you use the little edit thing or something with my post

 

[disorganizer]

its a conspiracy! someone wants to flood our forum with sticky stuff! disgusting!
;-)
i wonder what this sticky stuff holding threads on the top of the forum really is made of?

 

[Strider]

I guess it will be made of a paper clip and a thread. Through I doubt that's the answer you wanted.

 

[Almightyjosh]

Sorry, I thought it would be funny to stick it, I was gonna ask for it to be unstuck, but you beat me to it.

 

[Almightyjosh]

I wasn't even a suspect!!

 

[Strider]

Goes to show that we need more police
