GOOD DAY: Feedback

I dunno, I think the categories are good as they are?

My discussion threads have actually been going in Rowdy mostly, because I think leaving the opportunity to get heated on the table is important, but otherwise they’d go in Helping Hands. Game Gab DOES seem like specific games.

The rename might be a helpful thing? If people are seeing that as a place to ask for help instead of a place for discussion.

How married are you to alliteration?

I THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE

even though that is (from the description) meant more for specific games, as a companion to advertisements.

I definitely think Game Gab would be a good spot for such conversation, with a change to the description.

Helping Hands is very much the “how do I/should I/can I do X” spot, rather than a general chatting place.

This is pretty much the problem. The descriptions are the OPPOSITE of what you’re saying - and people seem to be interpreting the categories differently because of it.

Game Gab

Thoughts and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games.

Helping Hands

Code, Theme, Policies, Game Design – Conversation about how to do things better in gaming. Keep it friendly.

I don’t feel strongly about the solution, I’d just like it to be clear - both from descriptions and names - where general RPish conversation goes when it’s NOT Rowdy.

Yes. That’s why I said “with a change of description.”

I just throw threads wherever and hope for the best. Staff can move them if they feel like it!

… I jest. Mostly. I did guess for that one thread I started, though.

I don’t want to make a new thread so I am hijacking this to say:

I LOVE that when I upvote a little green box appears. I don’t accidentally remove my upvote and then have to upvote again because I did want to upvote, I just forgot I already had.
