This is just an idea that I got the idea off swampjedi so thanks swampjedi. Ok so here it is.

 

 

 

What do you think about the Rants forum? I think there is too much nastinees and that there should be a second rants forum. Maybe one for all the player related rantes and the current one for all the in-game problems. Maybe this might keep all the nastiness of the rants forum locked up into a little corner. But hey.

 

 

 

THIS IS JUST A DEBATE. I WANT YOUR OPINION ON THIS POSSIBLE TIP.IT UPDATE. SO PLEASE NO "NASTINESS"

I think this should actually be under Forum Updates & Suggestions, but regardless, here's my view:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, the rants forum is too broad, it covers too many topics. Hence, it tends to be overrun by typical complaints (no intention of naming them here). I'm the type of person who loves division in my organisation: folders, tabs, sub-folders, sub-headings. Anything to divide my thoughts and work into clean little separate spaces. Of course, that may simply be my pedantic and perfectionist nature at work, but it helps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However: the introduction of the Debate Club sub-forum was an attempt to separate the formal debate topics from the random small-scale complaints, wasn't it? I don't know. I haven't been on these forums long enough to know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But overall I think that, yes, having two separate sections would come in handy.

Looking at the official rs forum, one of the illegal rants is to rant about the attitude of other players because that's something that cannot be fixed. On tip's rant forums these rants are everywhere, because rants on tip.it are not based on wether or not it's possible to fix so I think people just use this as a way to shout out how much they hate other players/noobs etc... These rants have no discussion and can't really be tacked into much, and usually end in "I just want to vent my frustration". If they can't be made illegal then yes, I agree they should be put aside for rants that acctually have something to do about the game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The debate club is different, it has more constructive comments and acctuall debates, all the other rants don't all fall in one category, there is a "middle-section" of rants that arn't constructive enough to be debate material and yet different from the rants about other players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basically: debate club doesn't cover it all, player rants need to be all dumped in one subforum.

Please use this board for suggesting improvements to TIF. All suggestions are welcome as long as they aren't in the black list, even if they aren't implemented :) Better some usefull suggestions among less usefull suggestions then none at all :wink:
