Wait. Seperate sections of the forum? How would you do that? Like, make the new discussion area smaller, and the other side smaller, also? Wow!

There's a much simpler solution to threads quickly being "buried". Simply change the way discussions are ordered in the categories. Instead of discussions being order based upon the original date they were posted, they should be ordered by the time a post was last posted on that discussion. That way user's threads won't be lost and forgotten.

I'm sure many people can relate to having their own discussions become immediately ignored as soon as 6 discussions are made after theirs (meaning it's no longer shown in the "recent discussions" section of the forums).



I was thinking that there should be a separate section of the forums where people can put up discussions they've made that they believe are really important or that should be said again because people are repeating the mistakes that were specifically told not to do.



If this would be set up, there would be strict limitations so no one would keep posting discussions that would seem useless to other users. My choice of restrictions are as follows:

1. One discussion put up per user a day
   
2. Discussions can only be put up by the person who created the discussion
   
3. NO discussions can be brought up that are in the following categories:
   
   
   
   • The Lounge
     
   • Feedback
     
   • Cool Stuff
     
   • Introductions and Leaving
     
   • Forum Games
     
   • Arts
     
   • Entertainment
     
   • Club Penguin
     
   • Minecraft
     
     (PI and Snailschat would still remain in case any announcements are put up there)
     
4. Discussions found to be unnecessary can be removed by Mods/Admins
   
5. Any rank below Member cannot post discussions on here
   

Some issues addressed:

Q: Where would we put this section?

A: If no room seems to be open, it can be accessed by a tab at the top

Q: How will this ensure my discussion will be seen?

A: It won't, but it will at least improve the rate of users seeing discussions that seem great but never actually seen. There also won't be an abundance of discussions because only a few selected categories can be posted as well as other strict rules that can be listed by Admins.

Q: What if I found a discussion by another user and I wanted to post theirs?

A: This wouldn't be a bad idea, but because of the risk of people posting random discussions, it would be better to limit users to a good extent. If you feel that post should be seen, try messaging the user and see if they'll post it themselves.



Any other questions you may have can be asked by posting below or mailing me.



Also, these rules I listed above are suggestions, so these rules may not apply if this does actually become a real thing. I just wanted people to know that if this were to be brought up, there would have to be several limitations to it.



Another reason why I've asked for this is because if you search up "reminder" in the title area of Search, you'll notice I've put many reminders on quotes, replying to discussions and other posts, and more. I still see people saying, "Make this discussion longer -10000000," meaning they never read my reminders or anyone else's messages about the topic.



Again this is just a suggestion and if you don't like it, you have the freedom of speech to say so. Because of the beta testing for PenguinIsles, I honestly don't expect this feature to be up anytime soon or even at all, but I decided to make it anyways.



That's all.

Nice idea, but if you want to see the post by the person type in there username on the search and then click view posts after that, find the post that you wanted to see from that user ~Luke
