Hall of Shame/Fame Changes
When there are shitty threads, there are good threads/posts.
Sure the Hall of Shame was created for the clutter and spam posts, but I feel like it has become a place for the worst highlights of the toribash community.
I feel like the best posts and threads should have their own special place too, why should we have only the most outstandingly horrible posts be highlighted? There have been many amazing threads, some changing the community for the better, and maybe even life changing. Plenty of good threads and posts with time, effort, touching moments, and good timing can be ignored, forgotten, or just hard to find, with a ton of posts out there in the great forums of a sea.
I propose a new Hall of Shame/Fame idea, one which could impact the forums in a very positive way. I don't see any negatives when it comes to this idea, though if there are then please feel free to shout them out.
Also, I think a subboard for each Shame/Fame board would be ok, with it being dedicated to the best/worst toribash forum posts, as opposed to just having threads.
So obviously, theres a Hall of Shame and a Hall of Fame, a place for both the good and the bad. I want to talk about how posts are chosen for it, and I decided that a private board like the scam requests could be created where people voice a thread or post that they have found and believe is suitable for the Hall of Shame/Fame, while forum staff discuss whether or not its a good idea. Though, it obviously shouldn't be as simple as linking a thread, obviously rules should be in order, such as their reason on why it would be a good idea for the post/thread to be thrown into the Shame/Fame, and the post/link should be obviously linked with it as well. Im saying it should be a private board because there will be some obviously one sided posts about whether or not the thread is acceptable, people might get offended with what they think about their posts/threads, and most importantly its a place where its just the user and the staff, nobody else knows about what goes on.
This might just be a simple idea of mine, and it most likely wont be executed into the forums, but I personally think its something that can make an improvement towards the forums. Anyways, thanks for reading this and I hope you can support my selfish idea.
(While on the topic of subboards, Suggestions & Ideas can have one for suggested posts that actually make it into the game, which is basically the Hall of Fame for the Suggestions board. This is so that we can be giving credit to the original person who came up with the idea and highlighting their good deeds to the community.)
Edit: Turns out there is a Hall of Fame http://forum.toribash.com/forumdisplay.php?f=356
Buuut, its dead, and hidden out of plain sight... So maybe we can revive this if we get the chance.
Edit2: Disregard what I said, for the hall of glory isnt for the good posts, rather its the hall of shame of the hall of shame.
Notes:
-The Shame/Fame Suggestion Board also works to keep the Shame/Fame boards active, so something like the Hall of Glory being dead wont happen again.
-If actual staff wish to suggest a thread/post into the Shame/Fame, they should post into the Shame/Fame Suggestion like any other person (Equality!).
-Adding more notes in the Future.
