Locking Announcement Forum

by dragonintel August 31st 2009, 4:13 am

I miss the days when I saw a yellow 'new post' icon on the announcement forum and I thought: Sweet a new update!

Now when I look there it is because of a user commenting on an update, and it just bugs me. I propose that you reverse it so that the forum is locked again.

P.S. Maybe there could be an Only Topic in the GD for comments on the newest update or something

The only reason I've never suggested this is because most of the forumotion support forums are doing this.

So, I think they got a direct order to allow this, Wink

I totally agree with you on this suggestion. When an important announcement has been posted, some members might not be able to view it since they'll have to read comments from an old announcement. And the global mods would have less forums to moderate if this suggestion has been accepted, Locking Announcement Forum Redface

Also, Typlo's announcement stole my comments from my topic I've started in the G.D. forum,

I totally agree with this.

Thanks for the support so far.

Tell me about it.
The threads should be locked

thats exactly what I feel.
I hate it when it turns out to be - forumotion staff thread.

I'm always Aw man ... so close... next time its an update

by MrMario September 1st 2009, 1:47 am

I have to agree here too. I was like ummmm whats going on. It should only be for updates that is from staff and replays.

Voted yes.

Voted Yes. This is essential.

by Darren1 September 4th 2009, 1:33 am

I'm voting yes.

And you'd find im also the cause of this whole part where members were replying to new announcements Mr. Green

I was the first to find out that you could reply to the new accounts when the official announcement was made about the intergrated blogs LOL

My bad Wink

It should be reversed in my opinion. I liked it better when it was locked.

Maybe you can comment on it now though because the staff are simply promoting the blog feature. Can't the blog be used in another catergory, though?

I wouldn't say first, fufufu

I don't reply to messages in the announcement forum and will not start today, unless it's important, huhohi

Also, I almost did not see Mr.Mario's new post...

And am sure this happened to others, so you can't really blame the people who don't obey that post, Wink

~~but it's a reminder for the newbies~~

I do say first; It's just that it was negative, and me saying the the announcement of the blogs was late Mr. Green

Cant a new catergory be made where we can make our own blog, and remove the blog feature permantly from the announcements section? Then everyones happy, and you would still be promoting the blog feature as well if that is the reason for that being there Wink

by AnNubish September 6th 2009, 10:21 pm

Dont lock it put it so that only staff can post.
