Why don't downloads count? Comments are risky because mods that are taking lots of suggestions get more comments.
"Mod Talk" Sub-Section Requests
ClassicJam Why don't downloads count?
- No standardized way of counting number of downloads. (Some file hosting services may not show download counts.)
- Spam downloads are basically undetectable. At least with comments I can tell whether it's legit discussion or just spam.
- The whole purpose of dedicated mod sections is help those mods whose discussions have outgrown a single topic.
Walt Makes sense.
Not to mention downloads have "seasonal" swings.
Well, I guess the time has come.
requests mod talk sub-section for SW Mod
ClassicJam Done.
I'd request my own section but no one talks about my mod.
- Edited
I figured this is the best place to talk about this: @Walt
Ive made a new thread for my mod, and it follows a nice design using the new mod talk sections, the problem is, because it utilizes that so much the main thread itself will be lost in the midst of those that cannot/do not follow the system. Because the default sort for the forum is latest, meaning has posts in it. With the way things are laid out, to minimize clutter in one thread, the original thread gets no posts at all. I propose you allow locking and pinning of threads that follow such a nice order. Link to my new thread so you can see: Link
By both locking and pinning the thread, it will ensure it will remain below the more important posts, like how to install mod packages, yet still not have it lost below everything else.
I also never really envisioned the main threads becoming completely silent. I was assuming there'd still be regular posts in there. Maybe some sort of policy for how often people are allowed to bump their own posts?
Walt Well for this instance it would just be a place for us forum moderators to move/create threads that follow that setup or something very similar, into so they aren't going to be lost below the other mods. They could each then be locked, and no one would be allowed to post in that section of the forum.
