All-purpose request thread (New forum)

[Starter_Pack]

Talk to Damage about it. I had nothing to do with that Bleach thread.

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

It being staff only for “I think this will get controversial” is a bit unwarranted. Any HST thread is bound to be controversial, the series are popular they’re bound to have plenty haters and lovers.

 

[Damage3245]

Question is why lock it in the first place. We had this on april 2nd of this year in general and it worked out fine

To stop it from getting out of control. We don't need ten or more Bleach fans all making the same arguments at once or potentiality derailing the thread by complaining about it like they've done on the general discussion thread, when we can simply have a few knowledgeable members post relevant arguments there.

Allowing a flood of supporters on the thread would not accomplish anything besides making things even more difficult for staff members to assess it.

 

[Cyberblader90]

i would understand that take if the prior was unproductive. The current one isnt not that different from the one on april 2nd. It has some minor new points, but overall the premise is the same. It worked out then with out the staff lock

I say give it a chance, none of the recent bleach threads have been toxic as of yet. Let the thread be open, if it gets toxic, take it back to staff only. Making any slightly controversial thread staff only defeats the purpose of an open forum.

 

[Sigurd_Snake_in_The_Eye]

You’ve already made virtually the exact same thread and it ended quickly with only 2 pages since no one agreed with you. Don’t be dishonest.

 

[Damage3245]

I would still prefer to keep it staff only for now. Sigurd's post only goes to prove my point.

If any relevant contributions need to be made, then they can be given permission. We've made other controversial CRT's staff only before.

The topic isn’t controversial (yet) is the thing… if everyone can just get permission anyway, why not make it open.

 

[Sigurd_Snake_in_The_Eye]

What point does my post prove? That it’s mostly a repeat of the prior thread? If so I agree.

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Sigurd you’re not helping getting this thread open. Yes it’s annoying it’s staff only out of nowhere, but let’s not be provoking. Even if you don’t think you are, it’s clearly annoying damage.

Re: Discussion rule to keep CRTs open. Has that ever been an issue? Has there ever actually been a thread that has gotten flooded with FRAs and then applied in under 24 hours, only to need to be overturned later?

Because every single time I've seen a flood of agreements at the start, I've seen people say "Let's wait for X, Y, and Z to see if they agree", or something along those line.

tl;dr I think things are fine as is, we don't need more bloat on the discussion rules page.

Then a rule needs to be created to make every thread “Staff Members Only” for every single series because so far all Bleach Revision threads this year have been “Staff Members Only”. Are all revisions thread for Bleach exclusively going to remain “Staff Members Only” forever?

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Or, or, or, or we can stop the sarcastic remarks.

They don’t “need” to do anything. We are requesting it to be open, if they deem it necessary, it becomes open. Being antagonistic doesn’t help that.

It’s like some of y’all want it so staff spites Bleach istg

Is not antagonistic. Is more like why are you giving special treatment to Bleach?

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Giving staff orders like “then you need to do this” is going to be viewed as antagonistic. Just say “I think it should be open since Bleach threads have been tame lately and we should give it a chance” and then move on.

English isn’t my first language. I don’t know if you already knew that or not.

That’s alright, I’m only so adamant because I really want to kill the animosity surrounding Bleach threads. This way more productive deliberation occurs!

 

[M3X_2.0]

5-C vs 8-A. Obvious stomp.

 

[Antvasima]

What do you mean rushing things?

The aim of the rule would be to prevent rushing.

I meant that if people can push through controversial revisions in 24 hours, that is far too quick for many of our staff members to notice.

I agree with you in principle, but don't think that you go quite far enough.

Anyway, this thread is the wrong place for this discussion topic. You should create a thread in the staff forum instead. Here it will derail the main thread.

Ah, I see. Well, the grace period could be not 24 hours from the thread's creation, but rather 24 hours from the thread being accepted/rejected [excepting low-effort/troll/against the rules threads]?

Well, if people constantly have to wait for 24 hours with applying the results of a thread after it has been accepted by our staff, that would seriously hamper the efficiency of my work here in the forum, so I am more interested in finding a way to avoid previously prepared floods of fans of a series quickly overwhelming a few staff members trying to act as quality control floodgates, to pass controversial and unreliable threads before other staff have the chance to react.

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, this topic should be a staff only thread instead of derailing here.

 

[sanicspood]

can this thread be closed?

 

[Antvasima]

Somebody else already handled it.

 

[Coolboy6]

Stomp thread

 

[Antvasima]

Wright handled it.

 

[Bernkastelll]

Hm, I feel that this page should be locked due the same reason that Boros is locked, as Garou is the 2nd most popular character of the verse, and someone once told to me that popular pages need to be locked

 

[Elizhaa]

I locked the page.

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

Can a staff member evaluate this? Thanks

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

Can someone add the link to Young Justice Nightwing's profile on the verse's page? In the Young Justice page it currently doesn't link to it. Young Justice Page. Richard Grayson (Young Justice) Page.

Done.

 

[Antvasima]

Thank you for helping out Starter Pack and Elizhaa.

 

[LordTracer]

Could someone capitalize the word cartoon in Astrotrain (G1 cartoon)?

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[Antvasima]

Done.

 

[LordTracer]

Thanks!

 

[Antvasima]

No problem.

 

[Gewsbumpz_dude]

Hey, can someone unlocked these two profiles? It's for this CRT.

 

[The_Smashor]

The image of the statement of the worlds of White Space being dimensions is not present on the Time Eater's profile.

 

[Elizhaa]

I removed the link.
