Incomprehensible gibberish.

Would you guys like this? Basically, every time a major game (like halo 4 n stuff) that gets alot of attention would have a thread pinned until around a week after it's release. This thread will be used to discuss all things about the game (thus the "general" part). After the week or so when the hype dies down the thread shall be deleted by a mod and everything shall return to normal.

I personally would love it if a ninja would do this, it would keep the spam out of the forums and still allow a place for discussion for those who want to talk about a game. What do you guys think? And to judge whether or not a game would have a general, mods could moniter the amount of threads made about it within a certain time span (a day, maybe week) and then decide.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

NO, NO, NOO!

My post would get crushed under everyone else's post. I'd rather simply skip over the duplicate threads about the game I am not interested in. Not to mention that it would take time and effort for the people in charge as well as requiring a thread for practicaly every game.

It wouldn't be for every new game. Just the ones that the flood never stops talking about. Like halo 4. There's like 6 threads on page one atm and it's the equivalent to a spam attack (imo). Although I guess the monitering would be too time consuming for mods.

Usually a thread is pinned initially for game speculation then on release an actual forum is dedicated to it.

I assume he's talking about non-bungie games.

Yes I am, Skyrim, Gow3, and halo 4 all have/had a ridiculous amoumt of threads dedicated to them pre release. And it's a bother to anybody who doesn't really care about one new gun being released.

Hello

People would still make new threads regardless of if theres an official one

Ah, that's what I get for skimming the actual OP. I don't think it's a bother to see these in the flood, people get excited and create threads for others to share in. Limiting one thread per game is an idea that would be impossible to enforce. If you look at the usual dribble found in the flood these threads are the least annoying.

it would keep the spam out of the forums
No it wouldn't. Why would I want to post in a giant thread where my idea will be covered up by the hugeness of the thread when I can create my own thread and monitor discussion based on my preferred sub-topic in my new thread?
