Reviewed... now what?
Now decide if you guys are going to keep all of them or not.
Some of them requires upgrade. We have a FAQ that tells us to not make new threads, and to post in this one for strategies. But as you could see before, players rather made new threads. And IMO it makes sense.
So you guys should... either enforce the FAQ and bring all strategies that were suggested here....
... or change the FAQ, and if you guys allow a player to make his own thread for strategies, then this one won't have any reason to be a stick thread. Unstuck it would be best.
<this same logic applies to the units (not stuck) and upgrades (stuck) threads>.
The main reason mods keep them and tend to just leave them is the amount negative feedback received everytime we clean up threads or move stuff... nearly everytime i do this, the creator of the new thread gets upset, sends an email asking why their post was deleted even when a message is sent to them, and it turns into an argument over censorship.
The matter has been discussed by mods, and generally, the overall trend seems to be this: better to err on the side of redundancy and bloat, rather than concise on point threads at the cost of censorship.
Efforts are made to condense and maintain the FAQ's, but they are exceptionally time consuming given so many players introduce the same ideas repeatedly without reading all the other posts. (I would estimate 3 full time forum moderators would be needed to stay on top of it, and we have no where near this.)
That said, if you make the request to merge and provide the posts, i tend to do it right away, since i know if you're making the request, you aren't going to go and make life difficult when i make the changes. ♥
