The suggestions forum

[Dr.McNinja]

I dont know how suggestions are taken by exo.. could some explain? Is it exo looking though that section, mods/important people choosing the suggestions, or what?

Well since exo has little time (he said somewhere he would be working on bt for a month due to being busy) I could or someone else could create a single thread cataloging all the suggestions made with direct links and short description if needed. This would help exo greatly and he may not even look past the first page, meaning older suggestions (still suggestions) are unseen.

If this sounds like a good idea to you modlords then let me know and ill create the topic and actively change it to show the better suggestions at the top. Then you sticky it. Kinda like a

[Bugs] forum moved into Feedback forum as a subforum. Bug Reports become just 'Bugs'.
[Tank & Item Info] moved out of Strategy Discussions forum as a main forum.
[Replays] moved out of Strategy Discussions forum as a main forum.
New section: Gameplay.
Clan Forums & Other Languages moved into Community section.
Created new forum: Guides
Created new forum: BT Players

+ BT players (formerly known as 'interactive')
League & Tournaments, Playerlistings, Clans and Hangout Spots are all similar and are relatively small on their own.
BT Bots could be moved into this forum as a subforum.
League (although in the same vein) could be moved out becoming a main forum (as it is now).

+++ Gameplay +++
This is a more specific section for gameplay related forums. Some subforums have been moved out to become main forums.
Tank & Item info is moved out for easy access but it may soon become obsolete altogether when the BT wiki is created.
Guides will not become obsolete with the creation of the wiki; user guides will stay on the forum while 'collaborative' guides such as a beginners guide should go on the wiki. Go ahead and create it and see what happens.

- Bugs
Bugs or Bug Reports, same thing. Moved into feedback because its 'part of' feedback. Take into account how many main forums there are. 1 reason to leave Bugs as a main forum is so exodus doesnt have to click once more to look at the forum, where he may/may not often go.

General Discussion
It is not there, and i havent thought through it enough yet, so i will not write anything about it for now. In theory General discussion would be in 'Off Topic Disucussions' but both of those forums were mixed a lot. Both have off topic and BT related stuff, replays etc.. Im looking at you mods. Anyway, General Discussion could be the replacement forum put under "Battle Tanks" section. In description, say that all forum related topics should go in here, because there isnt a place specifically for talking about this forum.

This is an ongoing thing so dont post critique unless you have something good to say.
To admins: Just create a "Guides" forum either as a main forum or subforum within Strategy Discussions. Thanks. The hardest part is moving posts in the off topic and general discussions, tedious work. Everything else is simple moving forums around (i run my own forum). k, off to play some bt.

Well, looks like someone already voted for me. I appreciate your effort to improve the forum, I guess there really is some room for improvements.

I guess the suggestion is ok, but I'd rather keep Bug Reports as a main forum. This way it's more visible to new forum members, who maybe just registered to report a bug. Otherwise they might post in another forum, because they didn't know where to put it.

I'd also say, that BT players and Gameplay are not the best names for those categories. The name BT players doesn't really tell you whats inside of it, maybe we can find something better there.
The name gameplay itself is not bad, but I can imagine this name leading to confusion, when you want to post a suggestion, which, according to your own judgement, affects gameplay, but Gameplay doesn't have a forum to post that suggestion in. It's more like a Strategy-section and the Strategy Discussion could somehow replace the current General Discussion there.

I also think, that BT Bots doesn't belong the Battle Tanks section, if fits better into the Community section (which maybe should be splitted into Community and Forum, just like now)
