It really would be useful if we had the capacity to have threadmarks on VGC like they do over on Era. That way nobody would have the excuse of "I didn't see it" when in-thread warnings are posted by a mod. They won't simply get buried as the discussion moves multiple pages past said warning (it's been 12 days since I reopened the thread, and there's already been 61 replies, amounting to two new pages with my setting of 25 posts per page, or life five or six new pages if you use default settings). There would be a conspicuous drop-down tab indicating some sort of important update to the thread. And to be fair the way forums usually work if you've already visited a thread you probably won't see the OP when clicking on it. I may have to just periodically post in-thread warnings (like every week or so) as long as this thread is running or just edit the thread title to have a parenthetical note denoting existence and date & time of the in-thread warning.

I got an idea. Can't you edit and write the warning into the title ? since it's primary for one other console just add (XXX thread ban warning) or something like that to the title? (where XXX is of course the name of that console). That way even if someone has read the warning, but 2 months have passed, he will again be reminded of that, whereas if he doesn't see it in the title for example, he may forget about that after 2 months, and even though he may have read it earlier, he may use it again, just because much time has passed and he has forget it by that time.

Done.

I was thinking last night that would probably be the most efficient way of drawing attention to the mod note. I was about to crash out since it was so late, though. Decided to just reference the date & time of the mod note just to keep things short since there's a 75-character limit.

Hopefully there's nobody who's like the customers at my previous job who were like "What do you mean you're out of helium? I stood in line for nothing," after passing literally a dozen bright fluorescent green signs at the entrance, every four-foot section in the balloon department, and the registers stating "Sorry. We're out of helium."
