ReimTime said: Hey mods! Newbie here. Do I have to OK a thread idea with a mod b4 I make it? I made sure to search through old threads so I won't be reposting (although the search only goes back as far as 90 days) |
The only threads that need mod approval are either voting/poster above you threads (Elimination games and the like) or threads that you want to be deemed "official" (Like, Official Bloodborne Thread).
Anything else is good to go. And it seems like you've done your homework, so good luck. ^_^
Just make sure that your thread is according to the rules as well:
- Thread Creation. Thread titles and content must be descriptive and on topic. Contentless threads and those who break the following rules can and will be locked.
- Thread Titles:
- Should not use deceptive hooks to lure people in.
- Should not be used to pose simple questions.
- Should use full names rather than abbreviations (StarCraft instead of SC. Star Control 2 instead of SC2. Soul Calibur 3 instead of SC3. SimCity 4 instead of SC4).
- Should use proper capitalization (no CAPS), grammar, and spelling.
- Should not include inappropriate language. We don't restrict language usage in posts, but thread titles are a different matter. Also, letter substitution fools nobody, but strings of unpronounceable symbols are acceptable.
- Thread Content:
- Threads are only "official" if a moderator says so (to get Moderator approval, you must contact a moderator and they must be the one to approve your idea/title for an "Official" thread).
- If two threads on a topic are created around the same time, the one with the clearest title and most constructive content will remain open, the other will be locked. Even if the latter was created first.
- Threads should not be aimed at one user (or moderator) in particular, especially not to call them out or insult them. If you want to talk to a user, send them a wall post, or a Private Message.
- Posts that are clearly a reply or a response to a thread should be just that, a post. Threads should not be a reply, a response, or a retaliation to another thread. Keep related discussion in the appropriate thread.
